Nicole Gill, RN

Loop Wellness Clinic - Registered Nurse

Nicole has been an RN for 17 years, receiving her degree and graduating Magna Cum Laude from Liberty University. After acquiring a solid foundation of experience as a travel nurse in various teaching hospitals in Virginia, she made the ER her home for the next 13 years, which is where she met Monica. She and Monica worked together for 10 years at Inova Loudoun Hospital. She loved her time in the ER and has always been attracted to fast turnover, task based nursing, but after 13 years of caring for patients who were so far behind in their wellness and who used polypharmacy as a bandaid, she knew she needed to find a field that helped people actually be well, not just appear to be well. Unable to find a specialty that checked all the boxes, she went into retirement. For the next 4 years, she stayed at home with her children and grew a large and successful cosmetic sales business, but her unused nursing license still called to her. When Monica presented her idea for Loop Wellness Clinic and what BHRT and IV Vitamin Therapy would mean for people in our area, Nicole knew she had to be a part of it. She looks forward to helping guide patients through their journey to health recovery and proactive wellness.
