Donna Cardillo Biography

Donna Cardillo began her career in nursing over 35 years ago, combining clinical, managerial, and business experience to create a well-rounded professional profile. She holds the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, an accolade held by professional speakers worldwide, and is a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing. Furthermore, her dedication to her field has earned her recognition as a Diva in Nursing by the Institute for Nursing in NJ, an award that celebrates outstanding achievements and excellence in practice.

Cardillo's public presence is extensive, with regular appearances on popular television and radio programs such as "The Today Show" and "The Dr. OZ Show". She has been named Business Woman of the Year in New Jersey twice, and was honored with the Athena Award, a global leadership award for women. Moreover, her influence extends to the business world, as evidenced by her founding membership and past presidency of the New Jersey chapters of the National Speakers Association and the National Association of Women Business Owners.

As an author, Cardillo has contributed significantly to the field of nursing. Her publications include "Falling Together: How to Find Balance, Joy, and Meaningful Change When Your Life Seems to Be Falling Apart," a book that has received awards for its insightful guidance. Other books she authored, such as "Your First Year as a Nurse: Making the Transition from Total Novice to Successful Professional," "The ULTIMATE Career Guide for Nurses: Practical Advice for Thriving at Every Stage of Your Career," and "A Day Book for Beginning Nurses," further cement her standing as a knowledgeable figure in nursing and professional development. Cardillo's expertise is not limited to nursing, as she is certified in multiple wellness disciplines, including being a Reiki Master, Certified Forest Therapy Guide, and Certified Meditation Teacher.
