👋 Hi, I’m Kati!
I graduated with my BSN in 2010 and completed my MSN in Nursing Education in 2018. I have worked in cardiac med-surg, step-down, and neurocritical care. I held my CCRN from 2018-2021. I’ve been a charge nurse, preceptor, mentor, chair of Shared Governance and sat on various committees. [Full bio, speaking events, and media features.]
I’m passionate about helping future nurses make smart career choices, guiding students through the challenges of nursing school, and equipping brand-new nurses with the clinical confidence they need to thrive.
