Family Nurse Practitioner
Jaime earned her master’s degree in nursing-Nurse Practitioner in 2021 from South University. She then became accredited through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and American Nurses Credentialing Center. After graduation Jaime chose to move to the Roseburg Oregon area to help serve the rural community that was in need. Jaime was raised in rural Utah on the Uintah and Ouray Indian reservation. The rural community was rich in culture and fueled her passion for serving the underserved.
Jaime graduated as a Registered Nurse in 2008 and practiced in Hospice care for the first 9 years of her career. During her hospice career she took on many roles including the management role for Intermountain Health Care, the largest hospice agency in the Salt Lake Valley. In this non-profit organization she was able to serve people who would not otherwise have access to care. This included the homeless population of the Salt Lake Valley through The INN Between, a hospice home for the homeless. It was during the time in management when she decided to return to school and become a Nurse Practitioner so that she could continue to serve in a different manner.
Her clinical passions include connecting to her patients in a compassionate way that allows the patient to be a partner in their care. She has specialized in addiction medicine, working with the detox and residential patients to become free from addictions. She is part of a national study group on medical management of Opioid and Alcohol abuse, finding improved ways to help this population. She has trained in Scrambler therapy, a unique non-invasive way to treat neuropathic pain at its source. She has recently become certified in lymphedema decongestion after seeing there were no close treatment options for this population.
She has 3 children and 3 grandchildren, most of whom have followed her on her journey to Oregon. In her personal life Jaime enjoys traveling and visiting new areas of the country. She also is an avid reader of all types of literature and loves to learn about our past. She enjoys spending time creating things with her daughter and granddaughter.
