When Nicole began her nursing career in 2004 as a student at the Cabarrus College of Health Sciences, little did she know the crucial role she would have in transforming nursing operations across Atrium Health in the years that followed. After graduating, Nicole began her career with a coveted position as a labor and delivery nurse, the first of many professional opportunities given to the rising nursing leader at Atrium Health.
In her years with Atrium Health, Nicole has cross-trained in numerous subspecialties including telenursing, a role that gave her the flexibility to grow her family. Eventually Nicole – a working mom of three – was recruited by managed services provider Dawson Healthcare to become a project leader for a contract with Atrium Health, through which Nicole helped to establish Atrium Health’s Resource Team. Atrium Health leaders took notice; as the contract period ended, Patricia Mook, vice president of Nursing Operations, recruited Nicole for a newly created leadership role within Corporate Operations.
