About Nicholas

Hello! My name is Nick. I have been an Intensive Care Unit nurse for four years. I was inspired to be a nurse by my mother and my aunt, who are both nurses. I have always had a compassionate demeanor and believe that empathy is one of the most important traits in a nurse. I thoroughly enjoy spending my time caring for people and ensuring the needs and wishes of both the patient and family members are not only met, but exceeded.

I began working in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Cleveland Clinic as a new graduate nurse. There, I cared for some of the sickest patients in the hospital. I continuously assessed their symptoms, vital signs, lab work, and more to ensure the appropriate plan of care was being followed. I also provided patients with basic nursing care such as administering medications, toileting, and personal hygiene.
