Tina Canner-Peterson, MS, APN, CNRN, RNFA

Tina likes a challenge. She began her nursing career with ten years in intensive care where she discovered her affinity for difficult, challenging cases, the neuro cases in particular.

As a Sierra Neurosurgery Group nurse, Tina is able to offer patients continuity of care seeing them pre- and post-op. She constantly strives to increase her patient’s comfort by both managing their pain and their uncertainty, taking the time to explain procedures and answer their questions.

Tina joined Sierra Neurosurgery Group in 2001.
