CRNA Patrick Nugent was born and raised in Wisconsin. It was his passion for challenge and education that led him to pursue anesthesia as a career. Upon graduating from Midwestern University, he joined RAA and began working at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital along with a few friends from his class. Patrick’s favorite part of his job is the autonomy – he enjoys being able to make decisions on how to deliver the best care to his patients. Outside of the hospital, Patrick enjoys hiking, tennis, golf, and finance. Patrick – RAA thanks you for your continuous hard work and dedication!
