In this episode, Dr. Lendra, delve into an often overlooked but critical facet of nursing—insurance nursing. Joining us is Pelumi Akinboade, RN, affectionately known as "the insurance nurse." Pelumi shares his unique journey from being a clinical nurse to becoming a beacon of change in the health insurance industry. We will explore the common misconceptions about insurance nursing, discuss its potential impact on healthcare systems globally, and highlight how nurses can leverage their medical expertise in the corporate world.

With so many nurses burning out due to healthcare system decisions, healthcare organizations and nurse leaders must work collaboratively to advocate for policies that balance efficiency with safety. Policies should consider the unpredictable nature of healthcare rather than enforce rigid time-based metrics. Nurses should be empowered to participate in decision-making processes that address these systemic issues and ensure patient advocacy remains central.
