Virtuous Nursing Care PLLC emphasizes thoughtful, patient-centered care grounded in collaboration and mutual respect. Patients are viewed as active partners in their care, with treatment decisions made together based on individual goals, preferences, and clinical considerations. Initial visits are typically comprehensive one-hour appointmentsdesigned to allow time for meaningful conversation, careful evaluation, and collaborative treatment planning; however, shorter initial visits may be available upon patient request when appropriate. Follow-up appointments offer flexible scheduling options to support ongoing care and accommodate individual needs.

Virtuous Nursing Care PLLC provides personalized care through secure telehealth visits for individuals seeking support with mental health concerns, medication management, and preventive wellness planning.

Virtuous Nursing Care PLLC operates as a direct-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. Payment is due at the time of service. A superbill may be provided upon request for patients who wish to submit claims to their insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

A direct-pay practice allows patients to pay for services directly rather than billing insurance. This model allows for longer appointments, more individualized care, and greater flexibility in treatment planning.

All appointments are conducted through secure telehealth visits. Patients must be physically located in Minnesota at the time of the appointment.

Telehealth is safe and effective for many conditions, but:

Some physical exams or procedures require in-person visits.

Emergency situations (e.g., severe chest pain, stroke symptoms, suicidal thoughts) should always be directed to 911 or your nearest emergency department.

The first visit focuses on understanding your concerns, reviewing your medical and mental health history, discussing prior treatment experiences, and developing a personalized care plan. Treatment options and next steps will be discussed during this visit.

Medication may be recommended when clinically appropriate as part of an individualized treatment plan. Prescribing decisions are made following a comprehensive evaluation and may require ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits.

In some cases, laboratory testing or diagnostic studies may be recommended as part of your care. Orders for labs or diagnostic testing may be sent to an outside laboratory or diagnostic facility for completion. Testing fees are billed separately by the laboratory or imaging center.

Virtuous Nursing Care PLLC provides outpatient services only and does not offer emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
