Billie Nelson is board certified by The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in Family Medicine.

Nelson obtained her Masters of Science in Nursing from Walden University. She earned a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Billie previously worked as a nurse in a Neurology Intensive Care Unit in Northwest Arkansas.

“Working in the neurosurgical intensive care unit has provided me with a great learning opportunity,” she said. “I have learned how to care for neuro patients, anticipate complications, and help patients return to optimal function. More importantly, it has given me a knowledge base to help advance the neuroscience program in my community.”

Nelson believes providing compassionate, patient-centered care to every patient regardless of their race, religion, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, or culture is her duty as a Christian and as a healthcare provider.
