Kimberly Overton Interviews Nurse Shelley Candelaria

Shelley Candelaria BSN, RN
“Our Mission here is only beginning and God is on our side”

Shelley owns and operates an IV Therapy Infusion clinic in Cottonwood, AZ while attending the Family Nurse Practitioner MSN program at Grand Canyon University. She has a background in critical care, cardiac/thoracic progressive care, research nursing, surgery, and hospice care. She has been in the medical field for over 14 years and nursing for 11years. She believes that nursing is an occupation consisting of professional individuals that exhibit and express compassion, respect, dignity, and integrity to their patients and fellow coworkers. Shelley is passionate about reducing patient fear due to the pandemic and her individual goal is to reduce hospitalizations by providing unparalleled IV infusions and COVID19 early treatment along with honest education. She puts her code of ethics at the forefront of her practice. She has seen ethics fall by the wayside to usher in more policy and protocol without backed sound research. She believes the foundations of medical trust and the lives of patients are in great danger when ethical and Godly moral decision making is taken out of the individual treatment process, protocols, and research.

Proverbs 24:12 Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.” For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
