Board Certified as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care and Acute Care by the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board
Member:
National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners
I am Bri Arwine, a board-certified pediatric nurse practitioner with a deep passion for pediatric care. I completed both my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at the University of Tennessee, where I developed a strong foundation in nursing and advanced pediatric practice. I was born and raised here in Maine and am very excited to be back home!
My clinical journey began as a nurse in a busy pediatric emergency department in Knoxville, Tennessee. This environment provided invaluable experience in caring for acutely ill children, where I learned to balance the urgent need for medical intervention with the importance of listening to and supporting families. During this time, I also witnessed the impact of small comforts—like a popsicle and a smile—on a child’s healing process.
I’m fortunate to be dual-certified in both pediatric primary care and acute care, which allows me to provide a well-rounded approach to pediatric care. I’m deeply committed to building long-term relationships with families, educating them about their child’s health, and supporting them as their children grow and reach their full potential. I feel incredibly grateful to be working in my dream job!
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, dancing, skiing, exploring coastal Maine restaurants with my husband, and spending quality time with our two dogs.
