Jessica McMaine, APRN

Originally from Richmond, Jessica McMaine, APRN earned her associate and bachelor's degrees at Eastern Kentucky University and graduated with her Master of Science in Nursing in May. McMaine has practiced as a medical/surgical nurse at Saint Joseph Hospital and the University of Kentucky HealthCare in Lexington before beginning her dual role in 2015 as a registered nurse and certified diabetes educator within pediatric endocrinology at UK. Since 2019, McMaine has worked at Baptist Health Richmond as a medical/surgical/telemetry nurse. 

McMaine completed her final clinical rotation for her master’s degree with CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group and will reunite with some of her patients in this new role. As a certified diabetes educator, McMaine is looking forward to continuing specialized patient care in her home state and says she was inspired to work in health care after her own personal diabetes battle.

“My nursing philosophy is to treat patients holistically and look at them as a whole and individual person, and I also really enjoy preventive medicine,” said McMaine. It never hurts to bring some compassion, too; that's one of the biggest things I hope to bring to my new role. I believe God called me to the field of nursing to provide love and compassion to all patients.”
