I transform overwhelmed healthcare teams into thriving, empowered cultures through trauma-informed care and compassionate accountability. As a nurse who's walked the floors for 25 years and led teams for 14, I understand the unique pressures healthcare professionals face, and I know how to create environments where both staff and patients flourish. I bring an authentic frontline perspective to culture transformation. This consulting was born in the trenches of healthcare, where I experienced firsthand the wounds that traumatic environments can inflict. Then, I made it my mission to serve 14 years in leadership, healing those same wounds by making physical and psychological safety non-negotiable for every person in my care. This includes patients AND staff.  As a Registered Nurse, certified Just Culture Expert, I help healthcare organizations shift from blame to growth, reduce burnout, and improve patient outcomes through evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches that actually stick.  Email: susieburke1981@hotmail.com
