About me:

I am Kate Morgan. I have been a nurse practitioner since 2007 and an RN since 1995. I have worked as a hospitalist NP for the first 5 years of my career and currently work in an inpatient cardiology service since 2012. I have an adult acute care NP certification (ACNP-BC), a doctorate in nursing practice (DNP), and am certified as a nurse educator (CNE). 

This blog is meant to be interactive so please feel free to ask questions and post comments in the blog posts. I am glad to hear from you. 

Let's get started! 

All the best,
