Kristen Fuller, RN, MSN, FNP-C (Board Certification expected March 2026), is an experienced registered nurse and emerging Family Nurse Practitioner based in Murfreesboro. With more than 14 years of diverse nursing experience, she currently serves at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in acute med-surg care, where she floats to Community Living Centers, geri-psych, and inpatient mental health units. She also works within the float pool at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, supporting a major Level I trauma center and multiple affiliated hospitals, gaining broad experience across burn stepdown, transplant, cardiac stepdown, gender-affirming care, and progressive care units. Recognized for her clinical excellence, she recently received the Director’s Award from the VA for outstanding patient safety.

Kristen earned her BSN from Bob Jones University in 2011 and is completing her Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner track, at Chamberlain University, graduating in February 2026.
