Kimberly Leak BSN, RN
Infection Preventionist
Kimberly Leak has been a registered nurse for over 4 years and resides in New York City. She began her registered nursing career during the COVID pandemic, where she had to simultaneously learn crisis nursing and the basic nursing skills of a new graduate. After a year as a staff nurse in Suffolk County, NY, Kimberly embarked upon travel nursing, completing assignments at University of Virginia, as well as assignments in Spokane, WA; Columbia, SC and Buffalo NY. She briefly worked at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, but resigned due to unsafe and substandard working conditions, which ultimately culminated in a nurses’ strike.
During her course as a travel nurse, Kimberly noticed disparities amongst the electronic medical records utilized at her various assignments. This is what ultimately sparked her interest in health informatics. She has experience with various electronic medical records systems. She currently is a nursing home infection preventionist—a job that requires a lot of data collection and analyzation. Kimberly wants to use her experience in the nursing home to improve resident outcomes via improved health informatics in the long term care setting.
