Speaking

When I speak on stage, I come alive and focus on inspiring others.

KeithRN Speaking

I am passionate about doing all that I can to close the ongoing gap between how nursing is taught and practiced.

Why?

So graduate nurses possess the clinical judgment skills they need to provide safe patient care.

Nursing education is facing numerous challenges that require radical transformation. To implement needed changes, how do you transform nursing education?

One educator at a time.

As a nurse educator who remains current in practice, I bring a unique lens of clinical practice and academic experience to provide solutions that help educators strengthen how nursing is taught, so graduate nurses are well prepared for the complexities of clinical practice.

If your conference or faculty development workshop is looking for a speaker who will engage the audience in learning practical, evidence-based strategies to help students develop clinical judgment and other essential practice skills, learn more below.

The energy that Keith brought to our conference and his command on the topic of men in nursing history as a topic was wonderful!

The most important thing I took away from that experience is that our clinical judgment is going to be one of the most useful tools we have as nurses. We will be using clinical judgment constantly to determine the best approach for the everchanging situations we will surely be put in.
