Dr. Rebecca Leon is now the Director of People and Culture at one of NSW's largest health districts. Her career of over 30 years has taken her through clinical, educational and managerial roles. In this episode she explains why she embarked on a PhD to better understand the organisational, team and individual factors that determine the satisfaction and occupational stress of the enrolled nurse. She explains why how the role of nurses generally are designed globally and the lessons we can learn from other countries. Importantly, she discovered three critical factors that must co-exist to enhance the enrolled nurse's satisfaction and reduce their occupational stress. Like so many nurses, Rebecca is caring and compassionate and shares an anonymous,  hand written letter she received from an enrolled nurse of over 30 years that prompted her valuable research. She provides a range of practical suggestions for any healthcare service to enable the to optimise nursing roles to support delivery of safe and quality care.
