Breanna’s Background:
Sixteen years ago, Breanna began her nursing career as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Meritcare. Her experience encompassed various disciplines in hospitals and clinics. Transitioning to skilled nursing facilities, she devoted herself to caring for geriatric populations in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. Seeking advancement, she pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from North Dakota State University (NDSU), along with board certification in Gerontology. After a decade, she embraced management roles in skilled nursing facilities until she ventured into becoming a Nurse Practitioner (NP) with a Master’s degree.

Bringing Care to the Home:
Visiting geriatric patients at home offers Breanna a unique opportunity to provide specialized care. Elderly bodies function differently, making personalized medication and emotional support crucial. Beyond routine assessments, she prioritizes understanding patients’ concerns, giving them a voice often lost in clinics. Home visits allow time for comprehensive assessments, focusing on both physical and emotional needs.
Empowering Caregivers:
Breanna’s role extends to caregivers, who play an integral role in a patient’s life. Caregivers often lack medical expertise, yet their dedication is undeniable. Providing education, emotional support and resources helps them manage caregiving demands. Addressing their needs is equally vital to ensure both patient and caregiver well-being.

Breanna’s approach emphasizes patient autonomy. She strives to empower patient’s to make informed decisions about their health.
