Meet Melissa Bascle, FNP-C of Southern ENT Associates in Louisiana

Before becoming a nurse, Ms. Bascle worked as a registered respiratory therapist at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans for many years. In New Orleans, she earned her diploma at the Alton Ochsner School of Allied Health. After receiving her first bachelor’s degree, she left home to care for an opportunity to teach in the cardiopulmonary care program at Nicholls State University. During clinical rotations with her students, she realized her desire to become a nurse. She attended Nicholls State University for both her undergraduate and graduate nursing degrees and is proud to have been among the first graduating class at Nicholls to receive a Master of Science in nursing.

Ms. Bascle worked primarily in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. She also cared for adult patients in various clinical areas. After so many years of commuting while raising a family, Ms. Bascle decided to move her career closer to home, where she worked for a home care company delivering oxygen and CPAP supplies in the Tri-Parish area.

She is a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, and an associate member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology.
