Transform the way you teach
Despite passing the NCLEX®, most graduate nurses do not currently possess the clinical judgment required for safe practice.
To better prepare students for practice (and licensure), educators must transform the way nursing is taught.

Nurse Educators Who Got RESULTS
My students and I love your tools!
“I used Keith’s framework of teaching clinical reasoning instead of our traditional care plan. Great success! The students loved it, I loved it, and they report feeling much better prepared for patient care.”
–Rob Morris, RN, MSN
Strategies work!
“I can say that the case studies that Keith designed work. The students are engaged in class, and the second-year students who had Keith last year continue to talk about them.”
–Michelle Natrop, RN, MSN
Made Me Think Like a Nurse
“KeithRN case studies were EXTREMELY helpful to prepare me on my exam because I had to analyze and apply textbook readings. The case study helped me realize I had to monitor trends to provide safe patient care.”
–Amy, nursing student
Helped my students think like a nurse!
“I use your framework of clinical reasoning questions in clinical each week because it helps my students get a clearer picture of the patient and helps them make connections and put all of the pieces together.”
–Amber Gentry, MSN, RN

Keynote session #1: Transform the EDUCATOR
To prepare students for practice, the nurse educator holds the key and needs to pursue excellence, overcome fears, and change the way they think about nursing education.

“Infobesity” and a content-saturated curriculum hinders student learning. Practical guidelines to emphasize deep knowledge of what is most important are emphasized.

Thinking like a nurse must be practiced in order to be perfected. Learn how to bring clinical to class with meaningful active learning that emphasizes clinical reasoning!
Keynote session #4: Transform the CLINICAL

About Keith
I’m KEITH RISCHER, RN, MA, CEN, CCRN, creator of KeithRN. It is my passion to help educators implement educational best-practice strategies to better prepare nurses for practice.
I struggled as a new nurse educator. I lectured with dozens of slides and failed to engage my students. I tried different strategies but none of it worked. I was discouraged, overwhelmed and was quickly losing my passion for teaching.
Then I discovered the “secret sauce” to change the way nursing needs to be taught when I read Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation by lead author/researcher Patricia Benner.
I implemented her strategies that included bringing clinical realities to class and emphasizing clinical reasoning and got my students engaged in active learning and thinking more like nurses using salient case-based scenarios. Through the tools found inside this membership I can help you achieve the same results.
I created these online case studies and tools because the gap between how nursing is taught and experienced in real-world practice is widening. This leads to poor decision making by new grads that results in adverse patient outcomes including patient death.
Nurse educators in academic and practice settings need to shrink this gap so new nurses graduate safe and practice ready. This allows them to be successful on the NCLEX®, but more importantly transition successfully to real-world clinical practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this membership different than Keith’s all-inclusive membership “Think Like a Nurse”?
A: Most new educators do not receive adequate training to be successful in this new and challenging role. This membership focuses on the TEACHING that any nurse educator needs to better prepare students for clinical practice and licensure by implementing educational best practices that include implementing active learning to contextualize content to practice.
Keith’s other membership, Think Like a Nurse, emphasizes the TOOLS to quickly implement active learning and develop clinical judgment in the clinical setting. The educator must first be empowered by teaching to use the tools successfully. These memberships though separate, complement each other and can be bundled together for a significant discount for both individual and departmental access.

Q: Who will benefit from this membership?
A: If you are a new full-time educator or part-time clinical adjunct, this membership site is perfect for you. It will provide essential teaching that will lay a solid foundation to help you successfully transition to your new role. Experienced educators who recognize the need to do things differently have also found this content helpful and appreciate the time-saving tools that can be easily accessed at the click of a button!
Q: How often will you be adding additional webinars?
A: Two new webinars will be added each month on relevant topics that focus on faculty development, teaching clinical judgment in the class and clinical settings, and “hot topics” such as student incivility and addressing infobesity in the content/curriculum. This means that the membership grows in value the longer you subscribe!
Q: How is this membership different than NurseTim’s webinar subscription for nurse educators?
A: The webinars are shorter averaging 20-30 minutes so they can be easily viewed in one sitting and/or presented in a staff meeting to encourage departmental dialogue. The webinar presentations include video of the presenter and are not a voiceover PowerPoint. Most webinars include bonus time-saving tools and supplemental resources so that educational best-practices presented can easily be made actionable.
