@heatherwojcik
Enthusiastic dual-certified Nurse Practitioner with extensive mental health experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and well-organized dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with years of experience in diverse healthcare settings. My journey has equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate care to adults facing mental health disorders through telehealth, ensuring they receive the support they need.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, including providing direct patient care in palliative care and hospice settings, where I collaborated with primary care providers to enhance the quality of life for chronically ill patients. My experience at the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital allowed me to coordinate treatment plans and mentor staff, further solidifying my commitment to patient-centered care.
With a strong foundation in nursing and specialized training in both psychiatric and family health, I am passionate about guiding patients and their families through challenging health journeys, ensuring they have the resources and support necessary for optimal well-being.
