This is us Thursday! Meet one of our hardworking overnight Emergency Technicians, Cody Oliviera. A full-time ER technician and CCRI nursing student, Cody brings energy, compassion, and dedication to every shift. Though new to emergency when he joined OSVS just over a year ago, Cody’s background includes nine years in general practice, and he’s quickly become a strong and reliable presence in our ER.
Cody thrives in the fast pace of emergency medicine, handling everything from triage to discharges, outpatient treatments to procedures. He loves the unpredictability of not knowing what will come through the doors next and the sense of purpose that comes with rising to each challenge. Procedures are a favorite part of his role, and he’s especially excited when he gets to work with exotics like snakes, lizards, and big birds.
Working mostly overnights, Cody is a key part of our smaller, tight-knit overnight crew. “Everyone knows when to step in and help,” he says. “We’re a well-oiled machine.” He values the strong friendships he’s built at OSVS and the sense of community that makes working here feel like more than just a job. Cody is pursuing a career in human nursing, with a focus on pediatric, emergency, or hospice care, and hopes to one day become a travel nurse. With two more years until graduation, he’s balancing full-time school with full-time work, fueled by self-discipline and a passion for helping others. He’s also hoping to gain ICU experience while continuing to grow in the ER.
Outside of work and school, Cody was born and raised in Rhode Island with his very full house of pets, including five dogs, two cats, a cockatoo, and three foster kittens (with a possible foster failure in the mix). When he’s not studying or working, he loves to travel. his most recent adventure took him to the Virgin Islands.
Thank you, Cody, for everything you do for your team, your patients, and your future profession. We’re so lucky to have you at OSVS!
