Nancy Smith, APRN
“I have vast experience, starting with being a nursing assistant, then an RN for critical care patients, followed by roles in nursing administration and case management. Now I have over 15 years of being a nurse practitioner practicing in several different living arrangements for senior citizens. I see the relief on patients’ faces and sense the level of fear decrease once they and their loved ones realize that I’m not only going to assist with their medical needs but also help them navigate the emotional, legal and regulatory issues of the healthcare system. I remember why I chose this route and I'm glad I did.” —Nancy Smith, APRN- Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner
