Rebecca First, MSN, NP

Rebecca is so excited to be joining the Carient team. She is originally from Massachusetts, where she completed her BSN at University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2013. She then moved to Virginia and I began my nursing career at Inova Fairfax. She has worked in the Heart and Vascular Institute in a variety of roles including RN, nurse educator, and nursing director while completing her MSN from Walden University. During NP school she did a clinical rotation with Carient and had an excellent experience. Most recently she worked as an NP with the Outpatient Heart Transplant team. What she is most excited about in joining Carient is the opportunity to see such a broad variety of cardiac patients.
