For the nurse who's ready

There's a way out
of bedside nursing that
still uses everything
you know.

I'm Katie — a bedside RN turned Epic analyst. I left the floor, kept the clinical expertise, and built a career I actually love. Let me show you exactly how to do the same.

Is this you?

You're in the right
place if any of this
sounds familiar.

You don't have to be burnt out to want something different. You just have to be curious.

01

You're exhausted and wondering if there's a career that actually uses your brain without destroying your body.

Twelve-hour shifts, short staffing, charting until midnight. You became a nurse to help people — but you're running on empty. There is another way.

02

You've looked at the EHR and thought "I could fix this" — and nobody listened.

That instinct? That's the exact skill Epic analyst teams are hiring for. Clinical insight + tech curiosity is a combination most IT teams don't have. You do.

03

You want to pivot but have no idea where to start — and imposter syndrome is loud.

You feel underqualified for tech and overqualified for entry-level. The truth is, your clinical years are your biggest competitive advantage. I'll show you how to use them.

My story

I was you.
Here's what
happened next.

I spent years as a bedside RN — cardiology, perioperative, med-surg. I loved my patients. I did not love what the job was doing to me. When I finally made the move to healthcare IT, I realized there was almost no roadmap written by someone who had actually done it.

So I built one.

"Your clinical experience isn't a gap on a tech resume. It's the thing that makes you irreplaceable on an Epic team."

Today I'm a five-time Epic certified analyst. And everything I wish someone had told me when I was still at the bedside is now in the ebook below.
