Hello, I’m Kathleen Sabourault, or Katie as I prefer. I’m finalizing my degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Auburn University (May 2025 graduation), and eager to start my career in primary care. I’m excited to share my journey, professional experiences, and aspirations through this portfolio. It’s a reflection of my commitment to providing exceptional patient care, and I’m thrilled to embark on this new chapter as I transition into the role of a Nurse Practitioner.

Currently, I’m a Registered Nurse at AdventHealth Orlando, where I’ve been part of the Obstetric Emergency Department and Labor and Delivery team for 5.5 years. In my role, I’m an active team member, serving as both a staff nurse and a relief charge nurse. I specialize in high-risk obstetrics, bringing over 10 years of experience to the table. My expertise includes working with labor and delivery, obstetric emergencies, neonatal resuscitation, and adult emergency center nursing. I’m also certified in C-EFM (Certified Electronic Fetal Monitoring), maintaining up-to-date competencies across these areas to ensure the highest standard of care.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Allied Health from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of North Florida (UNF). Prior to relocating to Orlando, I spent over five years living and working in Jacksonville, FL. Throughout my career, I’ve been honored to be a Daisy nominee and a Respectful Maternity Champion, and I’ve contributed to several unit projects aimed at improving patient care and outcomes.

As a healthcare provider, I pride myself on being personable, approachable, and driven by knowledge. I am passionate about providing patient-centered care and am committed to evidence-based practices. I’m eager to join a clinic that shares these values, where I can continue to learn and grow while becoming an integral part of the team. As a loyal team member, I’m always looking to contribute my best efforts and collaborate with colleagues to improve patient care.

In my professional journey, my goal is to build a strong foundation in family practice, focusing on honing my skills in patient care management and diagnostics. I’m excited to learn from experienced Nurse Practitioners and continue improving my clinical decision-making abilities. In the first six months of my role, I aim to independently manage at least 80% of my patient cases while maintaining a high level of clinic timeliness and patient satisfaction. I believe in striving for excellence, and I’m dedicated to continuous improvement in every aspect of my work.
