Lea Bush, RN, CPEN
Lea began her medical career in 1995, working at a busy pediatrician’s office while completing her nursing degree. She knew early on that pediatrics was her chosen field. She stayed on after graduation, working as a staff nurse and then nurse manager. In the ten years she spent there, she loved seeing children go from birth through adolescence and the bonds she established with those patients and their families. After moving to the Dallas area, Lea was a stay-at-home mom part time before coming to Acute Kids in 2008 as a staff nurse and now is the Allen nurse manager. Lea says, “I love working with kids because they say whatever is on their mind without holding anything back. Working with kids is challenging and rewarding. It brings me great joy knowing I have made a difference by helping a child feel better.” Lea is married and the mother of two amazing girls as well as lots of furry family members. When she isn’t working or spending time with her family, Lea loves to scrapbook, decorate cakes, and do all things crafty.
