In this week’s episode, I had the great honor of interviewing Lacey Magen Naematullah, BSN, RN.  Lacey is a Mentor for New Nurses, and the founder of “The Empowered Nurse”.  I met Lacey through the nursing world on social media.  I was drawn to Lacey’s magnetic personality, as well as her perspective on the nursing world.  I met up with Lacey in person a couple of years ago at a nurse meet-up that Lacey had organized.  It was great to meet her in person and get to take a yoga class together and enjoy great conversations with the people that were attending the meet-up!  I knew that Lacey was someone that I would definitely want to interview for my podcast, and have her share her insights and light with my audience!

  In today’s episode, we talk about being a nurse in today’s world, especially as we are living through the Covid pandemic.  We also talk about the journey of a new grad nurse, as well as the journey of a nurse years into her career.  We talk about the age old saying that “Nurses eat their young”, and Lacey’s perception on this long-standing belief, and how we could learn to pivot away from such a daunting notion.  We talk about Lacey’s hope for all nurses, and Lacey’s goals for her business, as well as her life as a nurse, wife and mother!  

  Enjoy!!
