Meet Keith

Keith Rischer, Ph.D., RN, CCRN, CEN is a nursing education innovator who merged his clinical and educational expertise to create clinical judgement resources that enable students to become active participants in the learning process.

As an author, nurse educator, and expert clinician with more than 35 years of experience, he is recognized as a thought leader on clinical judgment and its importance to modern nursing practice and patient outcomes.

He speaks widely at conferences and workshops across the United States and Canada on critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and strategies to close the theory-to-practice educational gap so graduates possess clinical judgment and are better prepared for both practice and Next Generation NCLEX.
