Today on the podcast we chat with Dr Lendra James. Lendra is a registered nurse with overtwo decades of nursing. During her career, Lendra has honed her skills as a registered nurse, working tirelessly across various healthcare settings, including cardiology, neurology, trauma, step-down, and nursing leadership. Throughout her journey, she encountered biases and misalignments within healthcare organizations, experiences that fueled her determination to make a difference. The obstacles did not stop her from achieving a nurses executive certification and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.


Lendra and I chat about our experiences with burnout. We discuss the impact COVID 19 had on nurses, particularly in the USA and how we can care for each other as nurses in a more productive way.


Lendra is an entrepreneur who believes all nurses have entrepreneurial skills that can be honed and used to our advantage.
