About rockymnthoney

rockymnthoney has 2 years experience and specializes in Emergency Room.


Hi my name is Melissa, and I am an ER nurse in Southern Arizona. I started my career as an EMT and LPN and will be starting grad school soon to finish up my FNP. I have a passion for volunteering and have traveled to South America and to Africa on several medical volunteer trips. Other than nursing I love to spend time hiking and camping with my husband and pups.
