Rachel Stolley, DNP

Hi, I am Rachel Stolley, and I have been an Advanced Practice Nurse since 2002.

 

My husband is on active duty Air Force, and we recently relocated to Colorado with our two boys. I grew up in a military family, so I’m not exactly sure where “home” is, but I’ve spent most of my adult life in Nevada and Colorado.

 

I graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and then attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, where I received my Master’s degree in nursing. I spent seven years serving in the Air Force as a Nurse Practitioner before transitioning to civilian practice.

 

I returned to school in 2012 and received a master’s degree from the University of South Alabama with a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) focus in 2014 and then graduated with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in 2017. My doctoral focus was diabetes education because I have a passion for empowering patients with the knowledge needed to improve their health.

 

I became a Nurse Practitioner because I love developing relationships with my patients and working together to improve their health. My favorite part of being an NP is helping patients achieve better health and well-being via high-quality and compassionate care.
