Rachel Petrus, FNP-C

Cardiology has been so exciting and fun! I started my career as an intensive care ICU nurse. This gave me more insight and my passion for cardiology grew. I earned my  MS, ACNP-AG degree in 2018 at Georgetown University. 
 
I have been blessed with having the opportunity to work with Idaho Heart Institute. Most if all I find it an honor to work with all the wonderful  patients and staff. I enjoy being able to assist with improving our patients’ quality of life, understand their diagnosis, and treatment plan.
 
When I am not working with IHI I am with my family or serving my country. I have been serving in the  Navy since 2011 and I am passionate about taking care of our Veterans.  It was an honor and privilege to be deployed in 2020, during the COVID crisis, to Afghanistan. There i was able to work as a medical practitioner caring for our veterans and military personnel. I have a deep respect for all they have done and been through.  
 
My family enjoys staying active with anything that will take us out doors.
