Chelsea A. McDevitt, MSN, APRN

Caring for people is something I feel deeply passionate about. My journey into medicine started when I saw how important care was for my family. Watching my mom go through many hospital visits, I saw firsthand how nurses and providers could make a real difference. Their kindness and skill inspired me to want to help others in the same way. I am always eager to learn more because medicine is always changing, and there is always something new to discover.

When I meet someone in my care, my first goal is to understand how they learn best. I believe that learning about health and treatment helps people feel stronger and more in control. Working together to reach individual goals is very important to me. Whether facing tough treatments or choosing comfort, I want to make sure that everyone’s wishes are respected and honored.

Family and loved ones play a key role in healing and comfort. Their support and understanding often help in ways that go beyond medicine alone. I welcome their involvement because they know what matters most to their loved one.

Compassion is at the heart of everything I do. In times of stress and uncertainty, especially in the ICU, showing care and empathy can make a big difference. My hope is to bring comfort and dignity, no matter how challenging the situation may be. Every person deserves to feel listened to, respected, and cared for. That is my promise in every moment I spend at the bedside.
