Hi, my name is Monica Oana Gusat. I am a funny (I think), life loving Romanian born, who found her secondary home in Acadiana about 20 years ago. I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and a Bachelor’s in Social Work from University of Bucharest, Romania. I am also an unlicensed humor therapy practitioner.
My journey as a nurse started about 10 years ago. Ever since, I have been in direct patient care. My background is in multiple areas of nursing, including post-op, oncology, medical-surgical, orthopedic, rehabilitation and cardiovascular care. After going through my own health struggles, I gained more insight and a renewed passion for helping others travel through their personal health journey. I believe that medicine should be approached holistically and that allopathic medicine can work hand in hand with alternative medicine.
When not providing care at Diamond Drip, I continue to work as an RN within the Ochsner Lafayette Health System. Outside work, I enjoy this journey called life along with my husband, our two children and our beloved family pets.
"A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier."
