✨Welcome Wednesday✨ A big welcome back to Nurse Kate!! We are so excited to have her back with us this summer!

Nurse Kate is returning for her third year at Ingersoll. She lives in Middletown, and graduated from Sacred Heart with a BS in Public Health, then attended Yale for her MSN to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. She works as an APRN during the school year but steps back into her RN shoes during the summer because she LOVES camp nursing! Nurse Kate likes long walks that end with ice cream, riding on the golf cart, and spending time with friends! A fun fact about her is that she once did a backflip off a trapeze!
