Lacy Nichols, NP
Nurses Quincy
Description
After 16 years as a nurse on Blessing Hospital’s Blessed Beginnings maternity center team, Lacy continued her education and became a neonatal nurse practitioner. “Providing safe and appropriate care to these tiny patients who cannot verbalize their own needs is so important. I wanted to specialize in neonatal care to be an advocate for this vulnerable population.” A neonatal nurse practitioner specializes in the care of preterm and full-term newborns from the time of birth through 28 days of life. “My extensive training allows me to care for many high-risk newborns right here at Blessing Hospital. It is important to me to keep these babies and their families here in our community.” As a mother who had sick newborns of her own, Lacy feels a deep connection with parents when their baby is admitted to Blessing Hospital’s Level 2 nursery for specialized care. “I understand that I am not only caring for their newborn, but also providing support for the entire family during a time of uncertainty and significant stress. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a baby overcome obstacles and celebrating those wins with the family.”
