Teesia Richardson, MBA, MSN, AANP Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. I began my journey in healthcare 22 years ago as a phlebotomist. Then advancing into nursing 4 years later after receiving an Associates of Science in Nursing from Gordon State College, then a Bachelor of science in nursing at Clayton State University 3 years later. After graduation from Gordon, I worked in a medical-surgical unit and out-patient kidney dialysis for 2 and 9 years consecutively where I also took on the role as Facility manager, which prompted me to earn an MBA at Clayton State University in 2014. Because I enjoy working directly with patients and wanting to have a more direct effect on their care, I have worked the last 5 years in local and travel Emergency departments in Georgia, Texas, and California, while completing my Masters of science in nursing from Chamberlain university. I’ve spent the last year working as a Nephrology Nurse Practitioner in South Atlanta, Georgia. I am also an Advance Practice Nurse content creator for a certification testing solutions company and a member of various professional nursing organizations. I am a lifetime learner and enjoy looking for new ways to educate myself. My passion is wellness, functional medicine, root-cause analysis, and health coaching. I am married with 3 childern. I love sci-fi movies, travel, outdoors, gardening, and spin.
