About-Us - Nurse Practitioners

 

Ellen M. Fahey, MSN, FNP
 

Adults often ask children "what do you want to be when you grow up"? Some children answer a rock star, a fireman, a doctor and I would always say a "nurse." Nursing has been my passion for as long as I can remember and my profession for the past 23 years. I attended Northeastern University where I received my Bachelors Degree in nursing science. I worked as a registered nurse at Memorial Sloan Kettering for many years before moving to Connecticut to raise a family. Nursing has allowed me to work in many different settings including the local school systems, home care and dialysis. Once my children were older I decided to return to school for my masters. I attended Fairfield University where I obtained my Masters in Nursing Science and became certified as a Family Nurse

Practitioner. As a nurse practitioner, I have spent time caring for the homeless population in Bridgeport at Southwest Community Health Center and seeing adolescents at the Robert E. Appleby School Based Health Center in Norwalk before coming to The Center for Advanced Pediatrics in 2007 where I enjoy especially evaluating children and adolescents for asthma and allergy.

 

I am married to Kevin and live in Darien with my two children Sean and Tess.  I am currently working towards my Doctorate in Nursing Practice at Columbia University. My anticipated graduation is May of 2011. I believe part of nursing is about giving back to the community; this is why I volunteer at AmeriCare Clinic in South Norwalk in their women's health clinic and volunteer with many local charities. I enjoy playing tennis, skiing and summering on the Cape.
