113 Breaking the Rules and Creating Your Own Path with Katie Duke ACNP-BC [Interview] - a podcast by Joy Energy Time

Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, Katie Duke left in her mid 20’s to pursue a feeling inside her that there was “something greater out there”, and that feeling led her to New York City. Ms Duke has 15 years experience in Nursing, with the last 4 years spent working as a Board Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner specializing in Inpatient Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery in New York City at one of the Nation’s top hospitals, Mount Sinai Hospital.

In addition to her full time career as an NP, she also serves as a clinical preceptor to NYU ACNP graduate students, editorial contributor, motivational speaker, mentor, agency represented social media influencer, hosts the “Bad Decisions Podcast”, and is the founder of the “Duke It Up Event” which is an empowerment and mentoring workshop.

Katie has been featured in Emergency Room Nurse on the Primetime ABC Medical Documentary series “NY MED”, and its spinoff, “NY ER” on the Oprah Winfrey Network, TLC, and Discovery Life Channels. Albeit she had a controversial turn on NY Med related to a post on social media, she realized that the best way to work through life’s tough lessons is to own your mistakes. For the last 6 years she has been dedicated to leading others by sharing her good and bad experiences and lessons, and empowering others to embrace and grow from their not so glorious moments.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Katie’s story about when she was fired for “trying to do too much” and/or an “insensitive” social media post, how it affected her and fueled her to expose a punitive culture for nurses, and to help others in similar situations
- Katie’s entrepreneurial journey with her online brand and message for those that don't have it all together (because no one really does)
- Her advice for HCPs who want to utilize social media to share their story: Know your hospital’s social media policy, be authentically you, be ok with the ups and downs, and don't feel like you need to conform to what’s popular or trending.
