With more than 23 years of nursing experience across emergency care, labor and delivery, and correctional healthcare, Ashlee brings exceptional clinical skill and a calm, reassuring presence to our REVIV Las Vegas clinic. Today, she uses that expertise to help guests stay energized, hydrated, and ahead of their health through personalized IV drips and IM therapies. In this interview, Ashlee shares her journey, her passion for wellness, and what inspires her every day at REVIV.

I'm a registered nurse with REVIV at their Las Vegas clinics, where we specialize in IV drip therapy and vitamin injection services. Our clinics provide personalized nutritional support through intravenous delivery of essential vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, and antioxidants. What makes our approach unique is that we can customize treatments based on each client's individual health goals and nutritional needs, whether they're seeking hydration support, immune system boosting, energy enhancement, or recovery assistance.

I began my career in healthcare in 2009 as an EMT and volunteer firefighter, which ignited my passion for helping people during their most vulnerable moments. This foundation led me to pursue my Associate of Applied Science degree and complete a paramedic program in 2011.

Immediately after obtaining my paramedic license, I transitioned into a specialized role in nuclear medicine, where I assisted with nuclear cardiac stress testing procedures. This unique position allowed me to travel throughout southern Nevada and northern Arizona, collaborating with nuclear medicine technologists and cardiologists to provide critical diagnostic services in outpatient settings. This experience taught me the importance of precision in medical procedures and gave me valuable exposure to advanced diagnostic techniques.

In 2013, I learned about REVIV as they were getting ready to launch their Las Vegas operations. The concept of IV wellness therapy was revolutionary at the time, and while I was initially uncertain about this emerging field, I was intrigued by the innovative approach to preventive health and wellness. After joining the Las Vegas team as a paramedic, I quickly recognized the vision our physician owners had for transforming how people approach their health and nutrition, and I knew I wanted to be part of that journey.

Over the years, I progressed through various leadership roles within the company, eventually advancing to management positions where I oversaw multiple Las Vegas clinics and assisted with expansion efforts elsewhere. While I valued the strategic and operational aspects of management, I discovered that what I missed most was the direct patient interaction and that hands on care approach that initially drew me to healthcare.

This realization led me to make a pivotal decision in my career: I returned to school to pursue my Bachelor of Science in Nursing while continuing to work with REVIV part-time. Completing my nursing degree in 2022 allowed me to transition back to direct patient care, which reignited my passion for one-on-one client interactions. During this time, I also gained valuable experience working in various hospital settings, including Pre-Op/PACU units, the cardiac cath lab, and the medical ICU. These diverse clinical experiences broadened my nursing skills and deepened my understanding of comprehensive patient care.

In early 2024, I made the decision to return to REVIV full-time as a staff nurse, bringing with me a wealth of experience from both my management background and my expanded clinical expertise. This unique combination allows me to provide exceptional patient care while understanding the broader operational aspects of the business.

My day begins with our morning huddle, which serves as the foundation for coordinated, high-quality care. During the team meeting, we review the day's scheduled appointments, including both in-clinic treatments and our concierge services for clients who prefer in-room treatments at their homes or hotels. We discuss any updates to our clinical protocols, review continuing education opportunities, address any operational considerations, and establish our collective goals for providing exceptional patient care for the day.

Following the huddle, I complete my morning checklists which includes verifying that all medications are properly prepared and ready for use that day, confirming that treatment rooms are fully stocked with necessary supplies, and completing all required compliance documentation.

When clients arrive, I personally greet them and take time to understand their individual health objectives. Whether they're seeking recovery support, immune system enhancement, energy optimization, or general wellness maintenance, I listen carefully to their concerns and goals. After they complete their comprehensive consent forms and detailed medical history questionnaires, I escort them to a private treatment room to start the triaging process.

The assessment phase is crucial to our personalized approach. I conduct a thorough triage evaluation, checking vital signs, reviewing their medical history, and discussing any current symptoms or health concerns. I also take time to educate them about their selected therapies, explaining how each component works and what they can expect during and after treatment. All treatment plans are then reviewed with one of our prescribing providers, whom then also speak with the clients to ensure medical appropriateness and safety.

Once medical clearance is obtained, I proceed with treatment administration. This may involve placing IV catheters for infusion therapy or administering intramuscular injections, depending on the client's selected services. For IV treatments, I carefully prepare customized medication mixtures according to our established protocols and formularies, ensuring precise dosing based on the client's specific needs. Throughout the treatment, clients can relax in our comfortable, low-stress environment with amenities like Netflix and dimmed lighting to enhance their experience.

Patient monitoring during treatment is continuous, as I regularly check on clients to ensure their comfort and assess for any reactions. At the end of their visit, I provide detailed instructions about what to expect in the hours following their therapy, potential side effects to monitor, and recommendations for optimizing their results. Before they leave, I always ensure they feel satisfied with their experience and address any final questions or concerns.

My day concludes with thorough cleanup and preparation for the following day's operations. This includes restocking supplies, sanitizing equipment, documenting any important observations or client feedback, and ensuring that the next shift has everything needed to continue providing excellent care.

The most profoundly rewarding aspect of my work is witnessing the immediate, tangible impact our treatments have on clients' well-being and quality of life. There's something truly special about seeing someone arrive feeling depleted, fatigued, or unwell, and then observing their transformation as they receive the nutritional support their body needs. What makes this particularly meaningful is the speed at which many clients experience improvement. Within the span of a single treatment session, I can observe remarkable changes in their energy levels, mental clarity, mood, and overall sense of well-being. Clients often express amazement at how much better they feel, and their genuine gratitude and renewed enthusiasm for their day ahead is incredibly fulfilling.

This immediate positive impact was something I deeply missed during my years in management roles, where I was removed from direct patient care. While I valued the strategic and operational aspects of leadership, nothing compared to the daily satisfaction of providing hands-on care and witnessing firsthand how our services improve people's lives.

Maintaining that balance of work and normal life is essential in healthcare. Spending quality time with friends and family forms the foundation of my personal wellness

routine. I'm passionate about exploring Las Vegas's diverse foodie scene and regularly seek out new restaurants to try different cuisines and dining experiences. Golf serves as both physical activity and mental relaxation for me. Spending time at the driving range provides a meditative break from work and life stressors. I also enjoy getting to take advantage of the many entertainment opportunities that come with living in Las Vegas such as theatrical shows, live music, and never ending activities.
