    As the new IP Manager phone and being new to IP in general, this is a helpful conversation. I do wish you would figure out your volume levels because some of your interviews are very difficult to hear.

Q: And then also, how difficult was it to land the internship being a non-nurse?

Q: What were some of the biggest shifts in the field since you started, and how have organizational structures affected IP work?
She explains the evolution from infection control to corporate IP leadership, the rise of APIC and IP director groups, and the ongoing challenge of properly situating IP within hospital governance to ensure visibility and influence.
Conversation with Jennifer Cox, MHA, BSN, RN, PHN, CIC
Q: What role did certification (CIC) play in your career development and confidence when moving to new facilities?
Passing CIC early on provided credibility, boosted confidence, and served as a strong selling point for advancing to larger, more complex positions; it also shaped how I approached new settings with validated fundamentals.
Conversation with Jennifer Cox, MHA, BSN, RN, PHN, CIC
Q: What motivated the shift from a sole IP to managing a team and broader hospital functions, and how did you navigate that growth?
I wanted to grow and learn more, sought broader exposure, and geographic relocation enabled me to take on larger responsibilities; over time I built a team, transitioned to a larger system, and embraced leadership, analytics, and cross-department collaboration.
