Nikki Bohnert - Admissions/Marketing Director

Hello, I am Nikki (Wright) Bohnert. I grew up and have spent my entire life in Montgomery City. I always knew I wanted to work in nursing, for helping others was what I always wanted to do. Ever since I was a little girl, my grandmother was my role model; she worked in the nursing field. In fact my grandmother worked as a charge nurse for St. Andrew's at New Florence for many years.

I first worked for St. Andrew's at New Florence as a Nurse Aide while I was attending nursing school and I knew I would return. I attended Strawn Columbia Nursing School and graduated with my degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 2004 to fulfill my dream.

I have had experience in Geriatric Nursing in nursing homes, neurology, and the home care setting. Over the years in nursing, I found that Geriatric nursing was my niche. The Admissions/Marketing Nurse position came open in April 2014, and I knew that this position was my calling. I enjoy helping others in the community with their transition from home life to our community life. I have found the smoother you can make the transition for residents and their families; it can make a difficult situation more comforting.
