Grace Coons, RN
Fertility Nurse Coordinator
Background
I grew up in Lansingburgh, NY. I first began working in the medical field in 2004 as a Patient Care Associate at Albany Medical Center. I obtained my LPN from Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing in 2006. After this I continued my education at Hudson Valley Community College with intent to transfer into pharmacy school. I graduated HVCC with honors and was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success. While working as an LPN, I discovered my love for the nursing profession. It was this point that my educational plans changed. In 2009 I obtained my RN from Maria College and continued my nursing education at SUNY IT. As of December 2011 I will have my BSN and continue on for my NP. Although I have experience in many areas of the medical field, the bulk of my experience is with women’s health. I am excited to work at Albany IVF, where I can assist women and their partners in their journey towards building their families. Family is very important to me, and I hope to have children of my own someday!
