Vanessa Zickefoose, APRN-CNP, obtained her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Oklahoma with a focus in Family Nurse Practitioner in 2020. Before making the switch to Rheumatology, she worked as a Family Practice Provider in the Tulsa area, providing comprehensive preventative care for patients of all ages. It was here that she discovered the need for Rheumatology providers in the Tulsa area and decided to take on this role. Prior to working as an APRN, Vanessa obtained her Bachelor of Science in Zoology and Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Oklahoma. Working as an RN in a Level II Trauma Center laid the ground work to effectively provide compassionate care and manage the complex Rheumatic diseases processes faced by our patients. In her free time, Vanessa enjoys spending time outdoors riding the side-by-side, hiking, and kayaking with her husband Codey and toy Aussie, Jo. She also competes in a weekend sand volleyball league and enjoys spending time with friends and family.
