From the moment she entered an associate degree program, Katie Boston-Leary knew she wanted to be an OR nurse. Teamwork, competency, and comradery define the profession and those aspects loudly appealed to her. Along the path of her career, she was fortunate enough to have mentors and supervisors who saw her potential for leadership. Eventually she earned a CNO role where she saw first-hand the racial disparities in leadership positions.
