Nicole Cordonnier began at Clarinda Regional Health Center in August of 2022. She started her career as a certified nursing assistant in 2008. She first obtained her Licensed Practical Nursing license in 2011 and worked on a Long-Term Care Hospital Unit at Mosaic Life Care. In 2013 she received her Associates of Nursing from North Central Missouri College- Maryville. She received her Bachelors of Nursing Science from Missouri Western University in 2014. She has always had a passion for emergency medicine and started in the Emergency Department at Mosaic Life Care in 2010. She practiced as a registered nurse there and Truman Medical Center. She excelled in that position and decided to expand her knowledge base and attended Saint Luke’s Health College to obtain her Family Nurse Practitioner. She became board certified in 2020 by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Prior to her transfer to Clarinda, she was practicing as an NP in the emergency department at Mosaic Life Care. 

She resides in Missouri with her husband (Daniel), son (Cal), and 4 dogs (Brinker, Josie, Mack, and Lucy). She was drawn to healthcare by watching her mother and grandmother serve others as registered nurses and due to her father being chronically ill. She has a brother who is currently in medical school and a sister who is a social worker, so she comes from a family of servant hearts. She will be seeing patients throughout the organization and will do so with a compassionate, respectful, holistic, and collaborative care approach.
