Linda Ellard

I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse–Clinical Nurse Specialist (APRN-CNS) with a passion for providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I began my nursing career in Tulsa in 2009 and have been committed to learning and growing ever since. Throughout my career, I have worked in burn care, hospital medicine, infectious disease, chronic pain management, addiction treatment and wound care. Each experience has expanded my knowledge and strengthened my ability to care for patients with complex needs.

My passion for burn nursing led me to develop a deeper interest in infectious disease. I wanted to understand not only how wounds heal but also how infections develop and how the right treatment can improve patient outcomes. That curiosity continues to drive me today.

I believe patience, compassion and communication are at the heart of quality healthcare. I approach every patient with respect and strive to provide thoughtful, personalised care while continuing to learn from every experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, going to the gym, reading, rollerblading and making diaper crafts. These hobbies help me stay balanced and recharge outside of my professional responsibilities.

My goal is to continue making a positive difference in the lives of my patients through knowledge, teamwork and compassionate care every day.
