## Nursing career
Miller trained as a nurse at Chamberlain University College of Nursing in [Sandy Springs, Georgia](https://www.edgepedia.org/sandy-springs-georgia), and worked as a traveling ICU nurse in Georgia, including on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/what-does-ciara-miller-do-for-a-living-nurse-model-updates-february-2026) • [7](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/ciara-miller-nurse-career-update-february-2025-exclusive) Her Season 5 cast bio described her as a newcomer who had been treating COVID-19 patients in New York City as an ICU nurse.[2](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/when-does-ciara-miller-join-summer-house-guide-timeline)
After relocating to New York City, she scaled nursing back to keep her license active. On the *Something Went Wrong with Vinny* podcast in August 2024, she said she was working "three shifts every six to eight weeks," and she described herself as a PRN (as-needed) nurse for 2024.[7](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/ciara-miller-nurse-career-update-february-2025-exclusive) In February 2025 she told *The Daily Dish* she was taking a "step back" from nursing, calling her relationship with the profession a "love-hate" one.[7](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/ciara-miller-nurse-career-update-february-2025-exclusive) In a February 2026 appearance on *The Squeeze* podcast, she said she still maintains her license but considers herself done with bedside work, and wants to stay in the nursing field through education and knowledge-sharing; she noted at the time that she needed to renew her license by the end of that month.[4](https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/what-does-ciara-miller-do-for-a-living-nurse-model-updates-february-2026)
