Wimer earned his bachelor’s degree from VCU School of Nursing in 2016 and
joined VCU Health as a registered nurse in the cardiothoracic step-down unit.
But he wanted to go back to school and become a nurse practitioner. Pursuing a
graduate degree in psychiatric mental health nursing grew out of his own mental
health journey and the realization he had valuable personal contributions to
make as a health care provider.
“I believe what drew me to this degree was witnessing how
putting my own mental health first exponentially improved my life,” he said.
“Around the same time, I became interested in holistic care, and I stumbled
upon a podcast whose guest was a psychiatrist that practiced functional
medicine. That’s when I realized that psychiatry was evolving, was so much more
dynamic and interesting than I had once believed, and that there was space for
me to plant my roots and bloom.”
