VBD Magazine - Kimberly Codr, CEO of Plush Recovery

Transitioning to Entrepreneurship

It takes a special person to be a nurse. The role of a nurse has evolved from traditional bedside patient care to teaching, concierge services, aesthetic services, and even medical sales and marketing. VBD Magazine had the opportunity to meet with Kimberly Codr, a trailblazer in the nursing industry.

Kimberly is the Founder and CEO of Plush Recovery located in Little Elm, Texas. Plush Recovery provides nursing care for patients recovering from a surgical procedure in the comfort of their home or a preferred hotel. This one-of-a-kind concierge nursing service has changed the landscape of patient care.

ON A MISSION

Kimberly has an extensive background serving as an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse and as a Hospice Nurse Administrator. After undergoing a surgery, Kimberly realized that there are immense gaps in pre- and post-operative care. She experienced complications from her surgery and was given minimal guidance and support. Kimberly began to provide her own nursing care. This included changing her own wound care dressings, monitoring for infections, and researching ways to optimize her healing process. Her personal journey with less than adequate nursing care inspired her to find a solution for post operative care. Plush Recovery was born.
