Hi, I’m Debra Nickell. I have been an RN for almost 30 years. I graduated from Northern Kentucky University (NKU) in 1991. I have been with Cincinnati Children’s for 10.5 years at the Liberty Emergency Department prior to my transfer to Anesthesia Imaging (AI). I have prior experience with adults in ICU, ED and Electrophysiology.

I have two adorable boxers (Rosie and Zeus) and a cat (Smoky). I love my fur babies. My hobbies include walking and playing with my dogs, reading, and spending quality time with my family. I also love to go camping, hiking and sightseeing with my sisters. My husband Jim and I have been married for 18 years.

Hi, my name is Michelle “Shelly” Holt. I was born and raised in the West Side of Cincinnati, but also lived briefly in Indiana and Illinois and now reside on the East Side. 

I chose the medical field on a whim but knew I always wanted to work with children. Also, once I took Anatomy & Physiology as a prerequisite, I was all in! The nursing profession suits me well! 

My hobbies are gardening, watching sports, and spending quality time with my two sons. The last book I read was When They Call You A TerroristA Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele.
