Nurturing, Passionate, Determined
Nursing is in my blood! Nursing has always been something that I was passionate about. My name is Corinne an I am the owner of Real Nurturing Family Practice. I have been a nurse since 2004 but, started as a Certified Nurse Assistance at the age of 19. I have had the opportunity to lead in administration roles and served as a House Supervisor and as a Manager. Although it was a great opportunity in my career ladder, I was missing the need to care or be involved in the patient care aspect. After all, that is what lead me to nursing in the first place. I always wanted to give excellent, nurturing care while showing compassion and empathy to my patients I cared for.
I transitioned to Texas Children’s Hospital as a Pediatric Intensive Care nurse and that’s where I worked and interacted on a daily basis with some of the most amazing Nurse Practitioners and saw that was exactly what I needed to do. I finally found the perfect Position that would allow me to move up in my career and involved what I loved most. Many talked me out of it, as the rumor was RN’s made more money. This however, did not deter me. I applied, got accepted and completed my degree a semester earlier than planned.
I came up with this concept of house calls because I wanted to help those who did not have insurance but still needed medical care. Preventative care is imperative to sustaining our health, decreasing illnesses, ER visits and hospital admissions. NPs are known for their commitment to quality, safe care and I felt that I could do exactly this in the comforts of your home. I get to spend time with my patients. You do not feel rushed because there is no one else in the waiting room waiting to be seen. I schedule my patients an hour apart to give me time to know you and you time to know me. The best part is I can take care of the entire family! As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I can take care of the newborn to the Matriarch of the family. I have a passion for Adolescent care and for some reason I connect with them. In the future I would love to have an actual practice so I can offer more to the adolescent population.
So far, many of you who have used my service have used me again and again. I am your neighbor, my kids are your kids friends, we shop at the same neighborhood stores. I wanted to provide this service to my community of Cypress however I service Katy, Tomball, Hockley, Houston and Spring. I have been loving the journey thus far and I could not do it without the trust of my patients.
