What Makes KeithRN Case Studies Different-and Why It Matters
You don’t need more content; educators need teaching tools that reflect the complex thinking required in clinical practice, instead of activities that use multiple-choice questions.
KeithRN unfolding case studies closely simulate clinical practice by integrating links to heart and breath sounds, authentic assessment images, and open-ended questions focused on clinical reasoning, aligned with Tanner’s Clinical Judgment Model.
Meet Keith
After 25 years at the bedside in various settings, including the ED and ICU, Keith Rischer saw the gap firsthand: nursing education prioritized preparing students for the NCLEX, a minimal competency exam, but not for the rigors of real-world clinical practice.
That disconnect sparked a mission. Today, KeithRN equips nurse educators with evidence-based tools and teaching frameworks that go beyond NCLEX prep to develop the clinical judgment, professional identity, and compassionate care that safe nursing practice requires.
