An Atlanta, GA native, Viveca graduated from Georgia Baptist School of Nursing and Georgia State University. She continued her education in nurse anesthesia at Richland Memorial School of Nurse Anesthesia graduating in 1988 receiving the Agatha Hodgins Award. Viveca had the honor of serving in the US Army from 1990-1997, including a deployment to Germany during Desert Storm.

After graduating from Richland Memorial, Viveca worked at Richland Memorial and Lexington Medical Center in Columbia, SC. In 1997 she joined the anesthesia department of Greenville Health System in Greenville, SC. During this time she was an Anesthesia Supervisor for 8 years.

She returned to Atlanta in 2016 and joined Nationwide Anesthesia Services as a staffing consultant. Viveca utilizes her anesthesia clinical and management experience to help clients in staffing needs and assist providers in preferred placements.

Joining Nationwide and longtime recruiter Jan McDonald was an easy decision. During my clinical practice, superior providers were placed with honesty and integrity. Nationwide Anesthesia Services is a cohesive and collegial team.
