Temple Zenoni, APRN-CNP, DNP, specializes in critical care in the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) at Oklahoma Heart Institute (OHI).

Temple’s inspiration to pursue a career in cardiology began when she was given a cardiology rotation during her graduate studies. She said, “My nursing experience was neuro/trauma and ER, so I had never worked in cardiology before. I was assigned to do a clinical rotation in the CVICU during school and I quickly became fascinated. I loved it so much that I did another two clinical rotations.”

Now, as Temple helps patients navigate their journey to healing, she makes it a priority to get to know each individual. She said, “I do my best to try to get to know them as a person rather than just a patient.”

Outside of work, Temple enjoys traveling, going to concerts, taking her rescue dog on walks and hanging out with friends and family.
