Nique developed the Cannabis Nurse Navigator in 2016 to assist patients navigating their healthcare choices using Cannabinoid therapeutics within the constraints of Western Medicine. Nique continues to confront the stigma and bias within the system as a psychiatric nurse while bridging the gap in knowledge and enhancing the patient-provider relationship. Nique is also working as a Research Nurse conducting human research studies with THC and CBD at the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center and has developed a tool to separate inappropriate and appropriate cannabis use.
