Sapna Rao

My name is Sapna Rao and I am an experienced board-certified nurse practitioner. I am extremely interested in this position and would like to be considered for a position at your office.

I started my career as a registered nurse 18 years ago before earning a master’s degree in nursing practice. I have intense experience in settings like emergency room, and intensive care units. I graduated with a GPA of 3.6. Since then, I have practiced as a nurse practitioner in primary care, ob-gyn, walk in clinic, and occupational health settings for more than 5 years. 

I am energetic, creative, personable and hardworking. I highly value team-based healthcare and believe that each discipline uniquely contributes to best practice. At heart, I am an advanced practice nurse with a passion for providing excellent health care to individuals across the life span.
