Brianna Simmons

Client Care Coordinator RN

I'm a 26 year old mom to a 19 month old boy(Koah) and a 6 month old girl(Korissa). I have two dachshunds(Odie and Iradessa) who think they're rottweilers. I was a licensed practical nurse for 5 years before I went back to school to obtain my registered nursing license in November of 2024. I have a history working in pediatrics, med surg, oncology, rehab, dialysis, travel nursing, and skilled nursing facilities. I love to bake, travel to new cities, try new recipes, and my new found hobby is gardening! If you're ever out and about in the Charleston area you can find me in Ulta Beauty or HomeGoods- they take all my money. I'm a die hard Alabama fan, if you're not- all I can say is ROLLTIDE!

Caring for the elderly is my passion, inspired by the close bond I shared with my grandparents. My goal is to one day open my own nursing home and create a truly compassionate environment for residents.

Outside of work, I enjoy golfing, spending time with friends, and finding new adventures—life’s what you make it!
