For Keith, a preventable patient death due to a colleague’s error highlighted the need for change. In 2012, he created his first unfolding case study, combining his 25 years of experience with his passion for teaching.
Alongside Maria’s extensive background in education and consulting, we help educators develop confident, compassionate, practice-ready nurses.
At KeithRN, our mission is to restore practice readiness to the center of nursing education, the foundation of our profession for over 2,000 years.
We provide educators with engaging, time-saving tools to prepare students for licensure and real-world practice.
