Julie Socha
RN, PNP-BC, University of Rochester Medical Center, Center for Learning & Development

“Julie’s compassion for her patients as well as towards her colleagues has always been evident in the nursing roles she has held over the last 24 years. After advancing her education and becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner, she went from caring for the delicate babies in the neonatal ICU to managing and advocating for children with complicated seizure/developmental disorders. She helped begin her center’s first Pediatric Epilepsy Device Clinic and spoke nationally, about her passion for seizure safety and rescue in the school setting. She changed gears and followed her love for educating as she joined the Learning & Development Simulation team. Julie is now one of the lead faculty for the Crisis Prevention Program where she teaches verbal deescalation and safety skills to staff, improving staff/patient safety as well as reducing staff burnout.”
