Meet Patricia Petrosky, Nurse Practitioner

How, when and why did you decide to pursue a career in medicine?

I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field and originally thought I wanted to be a physical therapist. I earned my first degree in Kinesiology which combined some science, and a little bit of healthcare, with my love of sport. From there, I decided to pursue a degree in nursing, and then wanted to advance my knowledge and skills so pursued an advanced practice degree.

What do you like most about your job? 

What I enjoy the most about my job is working alongside a truly outstanding group of providers and clinical staff. I like helping people and the challenge of Interventional Radiology as well, but it’s the people I work alongside that make the biggest difference to me.

What is your favorite way to spend free time (away from work)? 

If I had my druthers, I’d spend my free time in the mountains, on horseback, with my family. However, that doesn’t happen all that often, so I enjoy doing almost anything with my family. We love doing things outside together.

What do you like most about working at RIA? 

The people I work with. I enjoy the challenge, as well.
