Prior to her current positions, Kelley had previously served as Chairperson and Professor, Department of Maternal-Child Health Nursing at Boston College. She was also the Director of Nursing education at Massachusetts Emergency Medical Services and a pediatric nurse at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, and Boston City Hospital.[2] She has also served as a guest lecturer at George Mason University.[3]
Kelley has specialized in the field of child abuse, since 1979 and has appeared as a featured expert on child abuse on national programs including the Today Show, NBC Evening News and CBS Morning News.[1]
As a pediatric nurse in the 1980s, Kelley interviewed many of the children involved in the Fells Acres Day Care Center sexual abuse case in Malden, Massachusetts.[4] Kelley’s interview techniques in that case later came under criticism from members of the media [4] and were called “improper” and “biased” by a Massachusetts appellate judge[5] after video tapes of her questioning of the children were played in court during the appeal of one of the defendants.[6][7]
In 2000, Kelley served on the "Task Force for International Child Health Nursing Alliance".[8] Kelley is a reviewer for the academic journal Nursing Research, as part of their peer review process.[9]
