Debra Burdick, CNP
My specialties:
- Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN)
Professional interests:
- Teens
- Depression
- Contraception
I am a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. My professional interests include teen health, depression, and contraception.
Hometown: Clinton, MN
Best part of my work: Making a connection with a patient that helps make her visit become what she needs it to be.
Why I became a nurse practitioner: I have always enjoyed caring for people, starting as a candy striper at age 14. Nursing was the only thing I ever wanted to do and be. Becoming a nurse practitioner gave me more ability and ways to help others.
What I tell my friends and family: Try to make time for yourself, even if it means scheduling 10 minutes when you are not disturbed. Use this time to relax, reflect on the day and clear your mind.
How I spend my free time: Caring for and riding my horses, enjoying my dogs and cats, swimming, boating on the Mississippi, spending time with my husband and children.
What patients say about me: I am told that I am a good listener and easy to talk to about difficult subjects.
Favorite health tip: Everything in moderation. Take time for yourself, you are important.
Practice philosophy: Listening is one of the most important pieces to giving good care.
