Join my new subscriber chat
A private space for us to converse, connect and share knowledge
One of the best parts of building Clinically Wired has been hearing from you. Nurses and clinicians who are curious, restless, already making moves, or quietly plotting their next chapter outside of traditional clinical roles.
The successful people who make it aren’t the ones with the most certifications. They’re the ones who had people they could ask the basic questions.
That’s what I want this space to be.
I’m opening up Substack Chat as a permanent community space for all Clinically Wired subscribers. Always open, where you can drop a question, share something you’ve learned, or tell us about the move you just made.
Some ways to use it:
You’re reading a job posting and can’t figure out what “cross-functional stakeholder alignment” would mean in practice. Go ahead and ask.
You just had a conversation with your manager about moving into IT and it went sideways. Or it went fabulously! Either way tell us what happened.
You found a resource, a course, a conference, or a contact that helped you. Please share it.
You’re in a hybrid clinical/IT role and figuring it out in real time. You’re the person someone else would love to hear from.
You made the jump years ago and wish someone had told you what to expect. 👋 Tell us what you wanted to hear before.
This is our Community. The whole point of Clinically Wired is that we don’t do this alone. I was empowered to build my career because people opened doors for me. Now I want to open them for you. Perhaps you can open them for each other.
Head to Chat and introduce yourself. Tell us where you are in the journey. Bedside and curious, mid-transition, or already on the other side. I’ll be in there too.
Stand on my shoulders. Then help someone else stand on yours.

How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
