About Simonica Forrest

My path to healthcare began as a teenager, volunteering at a local hospital. After my experience in the emergency department, I knew I wanted to be an emergency room registered nurse. My career as a nurse began at Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center, where I worked for five years. My next move came after noticing that patients treated in the emergency department frequently didn't have a primary care physician, where many of their concerns could have been addressed or even prevented. That realization sparked my decision to go back to school and become a family nurse practitioner. My goal was to help bridge the gap between patient education and access within primary care, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. /n My approach to healthcare starts with listening. I take the time to hear my patients' needs and concerns and answer their questions as thoroughly as I can, so we can build an appropriate plan of care together. I value patient-centered care and the patient-clinician relationship, because every person comes to us with different circumstances. During my time in the emergency department, I received multiple recognitions based on Press Ganey scores and was honored as a Daisy Award nominee in 2021. I also earned registered nurse clinical ladder levels three and four in 2020 and 2021. A native of Kernersville, N.C., I stay active outside of work through traveling, running and spending time with friends and family. In 2024, I completed my first half-marathon.
