Alicia Bell, MSN, FNP-BC, treats adults with sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and hypersomnia at an outpatient sleep clinic. Her daily work involves evaluating chronic daytime sleepiness, ordering diagnostic studies, and managing noninvasive ventilation therapies. Before stepping into advanced practice, she worked as a bedside nurse on an adult pulmonary floor in a community hospital. Bell completed her undergraduate nursing degree and later earned an MSN as a family nurse practitioner from Marquette University. In the clinic, she reviews overnight sleep studies, monitors treatment adherence, and adjusts continuous positive airway pressure devices to help patients rest safely.
