Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Candidate – Jessica Rios
Jessica is a wife and mother of two children and a golden retriever. She is a nurse in the St. Luke’s Boise intensive care unit, and she has spent the past twenty years caring for cardiac and neurosurgical patients at the bedside. She has a particular love for everything related to cardiac medicine. Jessica’s passion is helping others – including patients, future nurses, and fellow nurses – and she remains fascinated by the human body’s ability to function despite illness. Jessica graduates from the Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner program this semester, and her goal is to become a practitioner who truly makes a difference in how patients feel, both physically and mentally.
