Colleen Sibert, MSN, APRN, AGNP-BC is an advanced practice nurse who has worked as a nurse practitioner in the urgent care setting at the Tomah VA since 2008. She graduated from Western Technical College in 2008 with her Associates Degree; Bachelors of Science from Western Governors University in 2010, and her Master’s Degree from Walden University in 2014. Colleen is currently enrolled in the DNP program through Walden University and is expected to graduate in the fall of 2022. 

 

It is Colleen’s honor to serve our Nation’s Heroes. Her goal is to give the best possible care to all Veterans. Colleen was the 2020 recipient of the Secretary’s Award for Excellence in Nursing for the Expanded RN Role category.

 

Colleen serves as the President of the Lacrosse Area Suicide Prevention Initiative, a community organization that promotes awareness that suicide is a public health problem and can be preventable. The Lacrosse Area Suicide Prevention Initiative sponsors a yearly education summit for the community to  provide education on the prevalence and risk factors for different populations, and acquire tools for prevention, assessment and intervention. Colleen’s perspective as a VA employee has proven to be invaluable. This year, sessions on Veteran suicide and Veteran suicide prevention have been added to the Summit that will take place in September 2021.  

 

“I have been a member of NOVA for a few months and before that I did not  know NOVA existed”, Colleen admits. “I love that the VA nurses have NOVA because our nursing mission is so unique compared to outside agencies. We need an organization that can influence Veteran’s health care and support the nurses that provide it, and NOVA does just that!”
