Shannon Havens

I began my medical journey first as a nurse, where I focused on emergency medicine for 7 years. Then I completed my Masters Degree to be a nurse practitioner in 2017 and have spent time in dermatology, urgent care, and family practice. I have recently just completed my Doctorate in Nursing Practice in 2022. I pursued a degree in medicine to be able to help people live a long and healthy life. I focus on continuing education and always learning more to be able to help with patient goals. In the future I may add one more degree to be a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, but putting that on hold for a little while.

I am a mother of 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy – this is where most of my time is spent when not working. They spend a lot of time in sports and other extracurricular activities. I also love anything outdoors and near the water, the beach would always be my favorite place to be relaxing.
