Bio & Overview
Jennifer M. Schach, BSN, RN, CCRN, is a certified nurse practitioner specializing in neurology with a focus on epilepsy. She obtained her Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner degree from UVA in May of 2022. She is now a doctoral candidate of nursing practice, with plans to graduate in 2025.
Jennifer’s aspirations to become a nurse began after she was hospitalized as a teen. “The skillful communication, empathy, and individualized care that the nurses gave me solidified my desire to be a registered nurse,” she says. “Over the years, I felt I needed more of a challenge, and I wanted continued education, which led me to becoming a nurse practitioner.”
Jennifer chose to care for patients in the clinic setting because she is “interested in developing longitudinal relationships with patients and caring for them over their lifespan,” she says.
A child of military parents, Jennifer grew up appreciating travel, culture, and good food. Her family settled in Pennsylvania, and she received her nursing degree from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh prior to pursuing an advanced degree at UVA.
