Kathleen Jordan has been an advanced practice nurse in emergency care for thirty years.  During this time, she has had the privilege of working in the roles of clinician, educator, mentor, author, and researcher.  She is nationally certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Emergency Nurse Practitioner, and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner for Pediatrics.  Her specialized area of expertise has always been in the emergency care environment, which has allowed her to develop the knowledge and skill set to care for individuals and families across the lifespan in a fast paced, complex, diverse and unpredictable setting.  She has a particular passion for caring for the underserved and vulnerable populations, particularly children and adolescents.  Specifically, she has done a large amount of work in the specialized field of child maltreatment, including direct patient care, education at the local and national levels, evidence-based research, advocacy, and publications. She is the chairperson of a hospital-based child maltreatment team, is a member of local and state child maltreatment coalitions, and a NC Child Maltreatment Medical Evaluator.
