Hi, I’m Sandeep Bedi
My mission is to provide comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare by combining clinical expertise with a focus on disease prevention, health promotion, education, and patient advocacy. This involves diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions, prescribing and managing medications and therapies, and collaborating with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals to develop personalized care plans. Ultimately, the goal is to empower individuals to achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being within their communities, upholding the values of compassion, integrity, and lifelong learning that define the nursing profession.
My six years as an ICU nurse, including tenure at world-renowned institutions like Mount Sinai Main Hospital and Stanford Health Care, have profoundly shaped my career aspirations and ignited a keen interest in becoming an FNP specializing in Orthopedics, Cardiology, and Neurology.
In the CVICU at these prestigious hospitals, I honed my skills managing critically ill cardiac patients, from post-operative open-heart surgeries to complex arrhythmias and heart failure exacerbations. This intense experience, involving continuous hemodynamic monitoring, titrating vasoactive medications, and educating families on disease progression, fostered a deep understanding of cardiovascular physiology and pathology. It cultivated a desire to shift from acute crisis management to a proactive role in cardiology, focusing on prevention, chronic disease management, and optimizing patient outcomes in an outpatient setting.
Similarly, my time in Neuro Trauma ICU provided invaluable exposure to patients with acute brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, and neurological emergencies. I became adept at meticulous neurological assessments, intracranial pressure monitoring, and anticipating neurological deterioration. Witnessing the long-term recovery trajectories and the profound impact of neurological conditions instilled a passion for neurology, driving me to provide ongoing, comprehensive care for individuals living with chronic neurological disorders and supporting their functional recovery.
Beyond these direct links, the foundational skills developed in both CVICU and Neuro Trauma—such as advanced critical thinking, comprehensive patient assessment, complex pain management, and robust patient/family education—are highly transferable and particularly relevant to orthopedics. While not a direct ICU specialty, managing post-surgical orthopedic patients, addressing acute injuries, and supporting rehabilitation aligns perfectly with the holistic, preventative, and long-term patient relationships inherent in the FNP role. My experience at these leading institutions has equipped me with a strong understanding of systemic impacts of trauma and illness, preparing me to care for the whole patient across these specialized domains.
