Dr. Cambria Nwosu is a nurse, legal nurse consultant, healthcare advocate, and entrepreneur whose career has spanned bedside care, leadership, administration, and healthcare accountability. She began her nursing career as a perioperative nurse at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey, where she developed a strong foundation in patient safety, surgical care, and systems-based practice.

Over time, Dr. Nwosu advanced into multiple nursing leadership roles, including serving as a Stroke Program Director, where she worked at the intersection of clinical care, quality metrics, and regulatory compliance. Her career later expanded into healthcare administration, where she served as a national telemedicine administrator, gaining firsthand insight into how healthcare delivery, technology, and policy intersect and how system design decisions shape patient care and access.

Alongside her clinical and administrative work, Dr. Nwosu co-founded Seth Usifo Nwosu® Incorporated (SUN INC) with her husband, a certified paralegal and legal document preparer. Through SUN Inc., she provides legal nurse consulting services focused on medical negligence, patient rights, healthcare system failures, and civil accountability, with particular attention to how marginalized communities are disproportionately harmed.

Dr. Nwosu is married and the mother of one child, and her lived experience as both a clinician and a parent informs her advocacy. In recent years, she has taken a more public-facing role through education, media, and social platforms, where she speaks candidly about patient safety, informed consent, civil rights, and the urgent need for ethical accountability in healthcare.

In February, Dr. Nwosu will be launching CJN Network, a platform dedicated to deeper, long-form discussions on healthcare justice, patient rights, and systemic reform that are often difficult to fully explore in short-form media. More information can be found at www.sunicorp.net, and she can be followed on social media at @cjnlegalnurse
