Monika Skula is Co-founder and
Vice President of Critical HealthCare
Registered Nursing Services. She also
serves as Director of Patient Services.
 Monika received her nursing degree in the
year 2000 and immediately obtained her
critical care certification and initial
experience from Stony Brook University
Hospital in Stony Brook, New York. She went
on to expand her knowledge and skill-set
from her work as an Independent Contractor
at hospitals across eastern Long Island,
New York as well as offering intravenous
therapy treatment for patients contracted
through specialty pharmacies across the
country. Her experience also includes her
work as an RN of Interventional Radiology at
St. Catherine’s of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown, NY. Monika is active within the field of nursing with memberships to the American Nurses Association, the International Nurses Association, and the Intravenous Nurses Society.
 

 Monika’s vision to open a national nursing agency specializing in high-tech infusion therapy allowed her to fulfill a dream of making an impact within the nursing community by improving the quality of life for every patient they treat. According to Monika, “the “care” in healthcare too often only includes the application of medical technologies and treatments. We sometimes overlook the importance of compassion and education needed for the patients’ healing process.” Monika believes there is HOPE for every person suffering with the challenges of illness and disease. She often draws upon an experience that occurred early on in her nursing career when she was caring for a two year old child with PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders). Upon first meeting this very ill young patient, Monika’s initial thought was that the child was beyond help. As the child’s treatment progressed, she witnessed first-hand the child’s remarkable progress, both medically and socially. “It made me realize that every situation, even those that seem hopeless, does in fact have hope.” Nursing is both a career and a passion for Monika and as the owner of a national nursing agency; she continues to seek the knowledge needed to provide the best care for all of her patients.
 

 Virginia Hendersen, the first lady of nursing, once said, “Nursing is rooted from the needs of humanity and is founded on the ideal of service. The nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love of life for the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a means of locomotion for the infant, knowledge and confidence for the mother and the mouthpiece for those too weak or withdrawn to speak. The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick, and well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he or she would perform unaided if he or she had the necessary strength, will or knowledge and to do this in such a way as to help patients gain independence as rapidly as possible.” Each and every day, these are words Monika tries to live by, both in the care of her patients as well as the mission on which she built the Agency.
