Precious L. Hunt Barnes, MSN, FNP-C
I am a certified Nurse Family Practitioner. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Texas Christian University. I later obtained a Master’s in Education and completed UT Tyler’s Family Nurse Practitioners program. My nursing career spans over 18 years as a Bedside Nurse specializing in Medical Surgical and Pulmonary/Telemetry Nursing.
I am originally from Alabama but grew up in Texas. My community was under served and a lack of healthcare and resources were very visible and prevalent. Living in this reality sparked a passion inside me to educate and mentor others with similar backgrounds. It has also driven me to reach out to communities in need by volunteering as a nurse practitioner at disadvantaged community clinics. It is my hope to complete the OKC Nurse Practitioner Residency and to better serve those that are in need.
