In this powerful and politically charged special edition of Nurses With Voices, host Dr. Lendra welcomes a panel of dynamic nurse leaders—Dr. Michelle Nelson, Dr. Lindsay Harris, and Dr. Roberto Roman—to amplify the Nurse Shift Change Movement. This movement is more than a moment—it's a civil rights-level call to action for nurses and healthcare professionals everywhere to reclaim their voice, advocate for justice, and transform healthcare from the inside out.

Together, they discuss:

• The dangerous legislative threats facing healthcare today

• Why nurses must run for office and vote in local and national elections

• The erosion of DEI, healthcare funding, and human services

• How silos in nursing are harming our power—and how to unite across specialties

• The upcoming Nurse Shift Change Rally and how YOU can get involved

• Real talk on burnout, advocacy, and why silence equals complicity

This episode is a must-listen for nurses, healthcare leaders, educators, students, and changemakers who are tired of being silenced. From legislative policy to community organizing, these voices are shaping the future of nursing—and calling others to do the same.
