Sorry I never liked her. She seemed to like camera a bit too much. No surprise that she left once the show was over.
She left before Dr Pol was sued by other vets in the area (probably because of jealousy if truth were known).
I loved Dr Nicole on the show and also I liked the show and watched it all the time. I wish they had written Dr Nicole’s pregnancy into the show like they did with Dr Emily. It would be nice if they both could make guest appearances in the new show.

Despite frequently being covered in shit, I always thought she had an amazing ass. I would gladly have hit that ass, but apparently someone did and knocked her up. Too bad.
Loved Dr. Army! She was an asset to the Pol practice, and will be an asset wherever she practices. Her kindness and love for animals shines through at all times.
I think she is a wonderful woman and vet. She cares for all the animals as if they were her own. She was hard working. I understand my she had to step back. Her busy schedule was hard to manage with becoming a mom. I think every one miss her????????????????????
I LOVED Dr. Nicole. So bright, fresh, happy, and excellent at her job. One of the best in my opinion! Wish her every success in life!
