Janine Nowicki, RN, BSN
How long have you been a nurse?
I have been working as a nurse for four years. Prior to transitioning into healthcare, I spent 15 years in the legal field, where I focused on serving underserved communities. This experience has greatly shaped my approach to patient care, as it has reinforced my commitment to advocating for and supporting vulnerable populations.
What expertise and experience do you bring to BrightStar Care?
I bring several key strengths to BrightStar Care, including extensive management experience in the fast-paced, detail-oriented legal field, where I honed my ability to manage complex cases, prioritize tasks efficiently, and navigate high-pressure situations. This experience has equipped me with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to think critically under stress. Additionally, I am deeply committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I strive to stay current with best practices in healthcare and am always seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. I also approach my work with humility, understanding the importance of collaboration and knowing when to seek guidance or support from others to ensure the highest level of care for our patients.
What part of your job are you most passionate about?
I am most passionate about providing holistic care that addresses not just the physical, but also the emotional and social aspects of a patient’s well-being. I find great fulfillment in patient education and teaching, as empowering individuals with knowledge allows them to make informed decisions and take an active role in their own health. Helping others is the core of my work, and it drives me to continuously improve and make a meaningful impact in their lives.
