She combines her specialties with a practice of medical legal consulting and representing nurses before the Licensing Board. Staying abreast of current legal trends and issues, Lorie has a passion for learning and personal growth. Lorie formed Empowered Nurses because she felt that nurses have the answers to the problems in health care. However, nurses do not feel comfortable speaking their mind for fear of getting in trouble or even losing their job. Empowered Nurses provides tools to nurses to speak their mind, stand in their power and be a change agent to improve patient care while legally protecting their license.
