VickieGore
Victoria Gore, NP

Born in Augusta, Georgia, my family later moved to Aiken, South, Carolina. I moved to Atlanta in the 80’s where I began working in the corporate world, selling IBM equipment.

My desire to become a caretaker and pursue a nursing career became an important life goal. Undergraduate courses at Georgia Baptist College of Nursing (Mercer University) helped me to achieve this goal of receiving a Bachelors degree in 1994.

I worked as an RN for 11 years at Atlanta Outpatient Surgery Center and Atlanta Outpatient Peachtree Dunwoody in pre-op, recovery room and extended recovery.

The challenge for me continued as I wanted to follow my mothers’ footsteps as a Nurse Practitioner. Three years later, (May, 2006), I completed my Masters in Advanced Practice Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner at Brenau University in Gainesville, GA. I successfully completed my national board certification in June 2006.

My graduate program encompassed 2 years of studying and understanding the importance of research and evidence based practice and how it affects our work today. In September 2006, the article I wrote “Polypharmacy in Older Adults” was published in the Advance for Nurse Practitioners periodical.

I have currently accepted a PRN position as a Nurse Practitioner with Emory Specialty Associates – Anesthesia. My duties include pre anesthesia evaluation and health clearance prior to surgery in an outpatient and hospital setting. Additionally, I work at a clinic as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

I am a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, and the Georgia Nursing Association. My involvement from the beginning of opening Good Samaritan Health Clinic for the working poor in Gwinnett became a reality in July of 2005, where I currently serve on the Board of Directors.

I am married and have 2 children and live in Suwanee Georgia. I am an active member of Perimeter church in Duluth, and I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, tennis, movies and being with family and friends.
