Our conversation with healthcare attorney Katie O'Neill takes us from the emergency room to the administrative law classroom, from Chicago to California and back again. In episode 68, Katie emphasizes the importance of understanding clients' businesses to provide effective legal advice. She explains how she draws from her nursing background in her work as a healthcare attorney and highlights the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that translate from her nursing experience into her legal work. Katie also encourages law students to focus on their strengths and passions, advising them to leave room for creativity in their careers and in their personal lives.
