Shalonna Battle is a women’s health nurse practitioner with over 13 years of clinical and nursing education experience. She has a bachelor’s degree in biology from Florida Memorial University, a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing from the University of Miami, a masters of science degree in nursing from Frontier University, and finally a doctoral of nursing practice degree from Florida Atlantic University. Although school has played a major role in her success as a clinician, it is the hands-on clinical experience that has really groomed her into the healthcare provider she is today.

She is experienced in caring for women across the lifespan. She manages all women’s health concerns which include, but not limited to common gynecological concerns and disorders, family planning and reproductive care, caring for women who are survivors of abuse and sexual assault, recurrent and chronic vaginal infections, perinatal care, and postmenopausal concerns.

​

In December of 2020, Shalonna successfully completed her doctoral project, which focused on improving health outcomes for women who are victims of intimate partner violence. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was designed so that health care providers would have the opportunity to form a supportive connection with women who were survivors of intimate partner violence, share in her experience, and enhance the provider-patient relationship. The project also facilitated holistic care that addressed the woman’s psychosocial needs, sustained her self-worth, and empowered her to move towards a state of well-being. As a result of this project, she gained a wealth of knowledge about intimate partner violence and what survivors need in order to maintain their health, dignity, and self-confidence.
