About Nicole Rose

It was during biology and applied science classes in high school that Nicole Rose, NP, fell in love with health care. Then, while completing her general studies classes and volunteering at Memorial Hospital of South Bend, she chose nursing as her career path. She particularly enjoys family practice care. “Family practice is great, because you learn so much about many disease processes,” she says, adding, “[you] get to care for patients across their life spans.”

Nicole earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing from Goshen College, Goshen, IN. She has experience in such areas as dialysis, urgent care, intensive care and perioperative care. 

As she helps people manage their health, she listens to her intuition and her patients. Nicole hopes patients see her as their health coach. “I am not here to tell you how to live. I’m here to give you the best advice I can on how to live your life as healthy as possible,” she says.

Nicole wants her patients to know that their quality of life is extremely important to her. Knowing that everyone is facing unique challenges, Nicole hopes they trust she is always looking out for them.
