Nurse Practitioner Debby Kearnes has held a variety of clinical positions in Seattle, with most of her career spent working with older adults. She balanced full time clinical work with serving as a clinical instructor at the UW School of Nursing, Seattle campus. Debby lists her hobbies as “many: painting, gardening, pets, bartending (learning new things!), knitting, reading (always), and playing terrible tennis. And my true specialty, having coffee with friends.”
