Nancy is an exemplar for all CNS' and advanced practice providers. She volunteers her time, both locally and nationally, to promote the role of advanced practice nursing to optimize patient care. Nancy raises the bar for all of us, exemplifying the kind of nurse that not only patients and their families recognize as an outstanding role model, but to interdisciplinary teams as well.

Nancy is amazing with patients and their families, tailoring her education and management to meet individualized needs. She approaches all patient care in a non-judgmental way and is an advocate for patients.
