About Nicholas Dilly

During a high school clinical opportunity at a hospital ICU, Nicholas Dilly, NP, decided on his future career. “I saw firsthand the difference these workers can provide for others in need,” he says.

Nicholas earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Alma College, Alma, MI, and his Master of Science in Nursing – AGACNP, at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Work in the ICU is a complex and fast-paced environment that Nicholas says allows him to make an impact and continue to improve himself. His patients have taught him to always listen first. “Never forget there is a person behind the disease,” he says.
