Nancy has spent over two decades working in healthcare, leading several companies in C-level executive positions, and serving as a growth engine in all her roles.

Nancy joins PocketRN at a time of unmatched challenge and opportunity. Nurses have long been undervalued across the healthcare industry and are burning out when we need their expertise most. There simply aren't enough nurses to care for our rapidly aging population relying solely on traditional models of care. Our loved ones, families, caregivers, and nurses deserve better.
