Lindsay was honored with AONL’s Pamela Austin Thompson Emerging Leader Award for her work to improve morale and interdisciplinary communication, boost retention, and counteract burnout on her team. Some of Lindsay’s initiatives called out by AONL include a nurse-led unit governance council to increase staff engagement and peer recognition, and a “March Madness”-themed initiative focused on team building and staff and patient wellness.
