Lauren Kearney is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), certified family nurse practitioner (FNP-C) and registered nurse first assist (RNFA) with the Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute. She has a keen interest in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, and her expertise includes:

  • Managing acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions in adults and children in an orthopedic walk-in clinic
  • Assisting in sports, trauma, total joint, and hand and upper extremity surgery
  • Prescribing medications, physical and occupational therapy, and durable medical equipment
  • Fracture reduction, casting and splinting
  • Joint aspiration and injections

As a RNFA, Lauren has received training that enables her to have an expanded role during surgeries. Her duties include providing surgical site exposure, suturing and wound management.

Lauren has served Central Florida since 2015. She believes that patient education and timely communication can empower patients to take part in clinical decision-making, act as their own advocate and strengthen the patient-provider relationship.

She graduated with honors from both programs. Lauren earned her certificate in orthopedics, her Master of Science in nursing on the family nurse practitioner track and her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

About Lauren
