What is your role at Scottish Rite for Children?  I am a nurse coordinator at the Fracture Clinic in Frisco. I coordinate the flow and care of patients who enter our clinic, as well as monitor patients during reductions. I also speak with pediatricians to help triage patients and manage any patient phone calls or needs. The Fracture Clinic has a morning walk-in clinic from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m. for acute fractures, as well as afternoon acute slots and follow-up visits. Every day is exciting as we never know what will come through the doors. Not one single day is the same! This team is like a small family that works like a well-oiled machine. Each teammate has a key role in the clinic process – Child Life, nursing, cast techs, medical assistants, nurse practitioners and front desk staff.  
What led you to Scottish Rite? How long have you worked here?  Before coming to Scottish Rite, I was a nurse at Children’s Plano for 10 years. Taking the opportunity here turned out to be the best decision I have ever made. Scottish Rite is truly one of a kind and it is such an honor to work for an organization who not only cares about their patients, but also about their entire staff. I have been here for five months.

What do you enjoy most about Scottish Rite? I love how every person is a team player and treats one another like family. My favorite part is how involved and visible leadership is – this is unlike anywhere else I have been, and I am truly proud to tell everyone where I work.      What was your first job? What path did you take to get here? My first job was a nanny. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was very little and always was the kid walking around with a first aid kit, taking care of everyone I could. I started internships my senior year of high school and after graduation, started nursing school at Texas Woman’s University. After obtaining my nursing license, I started my nursing career at Texas Health Plano as a NICU nurse. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to spend time with my husband Jason, and daughters Hailey (10) and Emerson (6). We love being outside (walking, fishing, playing) and baking together. Our daughters are active in volleyball, soccer and jiu-jitsu – their activities keep us fairly busy on the weekends.       Three words to best describe you: Caring, loving, passionate   What would you do (for a career) if you weren’t doing this? I would open my own gluten free bakery.   What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done? I let my husband’s best friend take us on a flight over downtown Dallas in a tiny crop plane.

Get to Know our SRH Staff: Kat Petty, Fracture Clinic

by | Jul 15, 2019 | Fractures

What is your role at the hospital? What do you do on a daily basis? 
I am the R.N. coordinator for the Fracture Clinic at our Frisco campus. I coordinate patients’ needs (orders, medications, supplies, phone calls) and manage the overall flow of the clinic. 
The clinic serves patients that have been injured and may have a fracture. We have walk-in clinic hours from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m., as well as scheduled appointments throughout the day. It’s a busy place!
What led you to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children? How long have you worked here?
I have been here for exactly two years. When I was looking to transfer out of the hospital setting, I came across a job posting for Scottish Rite Hospital. I did one of my nursing school clinicals at the hospital back in 2010 and I remembered how great of an experience that was. The building was a happy place, the employees were friendly and of course the popcorn smell wafting through the building left an impression on me!
 
What do you enjoy most about Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children?
I really enjoy making a difference in children’s lives. Bonus, the management is unlike any I have worked for!
 
What was your first job? What path did you take to get here?
My very first job was when I was 14. I was a daycare worker at a facility that also doubled as a themed party event center on the weekends. My specialty was dressing up as Snow White.
 
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Read, spend time with my husband, feed people, craft, travel, volunteer at my church and plan events.
 
Three words to best describe you:
Patient, considerate, disciplined
 
What would you do (for a career) if you weren’t doing this?
I would be a home decorator or a professional crafter!
 
What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
When I was 19, I did a leadership internship and participated in an event called E.S.O.A.L. – Emotionally Stretching Opportunity Of A Lifetime. 
 
This event was fashioned after the Navy Seals boot camp training. For 96 hours, with little to no sleep, we hiked for what felt like a million miles and ran rounds and rounds of obstacle courses. I ate some pretty interesting things (think live mealworms with ketchup and ice cream) and stayed really dirty as we rolled down hills and waded through mud pits. Through the nights, we had sleep-wake cycles: seven minutes to sleep with a rude awakening to jump in a pool of ice water. I’m proud to say that I lasted to the end (only 25% of us made it to the finish line). To date, the hardest and most adventurous thing I have ever done!
