Ashley J. Lauer, APRN, graduated from the University of Texas with her undergraduate degree in nursing and master of science in nursing. She is a certified advanced practice nurse practitioner and a member of Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society.
Growing up, Lauer had family in the medical field. Following in their footsteps, she began her career as a certified nursing assistant in high school. After receiving her nursing degree, she wanted to be more involved in her patients' care. This led her to becoming an APRN, focusing on palliative and cardiovascular care.
“I love working in cardiovascular because your heart is the engine of your body,” said Lauer.
Lauer enjoys learning who her patients are on a personal level, which allows her to provide individualized care.
“I enjoy sitting down with the families and patients and having a conversation about what their true meaning of life is, what their goals are and then helping them have better days,” she said.
