Are your students developing clinical judgment to prepare for practice?
Research shows most new graduate nurses are not practice-ready.¹
Case studies are an effective teaching strategy² and used most often³ to practice clinical judgment skills in nursing education, but not all case studies are created equal.

Reviews from Nurse Educators
“ The integration of medications, labs, diagnostics, assessment findings with images and sounds, as well as psychosocial and other contextual factors, results in a revolutionary teaching resource to use in the classroom or clinical setting. Tiffany Condren, MSN, RNC, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Simulation Coordinator William Jewell College
“ Keith RN's updated case studies are phenomenal! The case studies do an excellent job of creating a sense of realism and are a valuable tool for the nurse educator. Daniel Eaton DNP, RN, Assistant Teaching Professor of Nursing Penn State Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing
“ As a nurse educator, I am constantly looking for resources that I can adapt for my senior level students. The progressive case studies are perfect for this! The case studies can be used in the simulation lab, classroom or an online course. The diverse patient scenarios require students to adapt care and recognize social determinants of health. Raven D. Wentworth, DNP, RN, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, FNP-BC, CNE, Associate Professor Freed-Hardeman University
“ The updated case studies allow students to implement clinical judgment and critical thinking in NextGen-like scenarios. The activities are saturated with realism and usher the student through all aspects of the client's life, including psychosocial, reflection, and family dynamics. Marielle Combs, DNP, RN, CNE, Nursing Faculty Wayne Community College
“ Clinical judgment is at the top of my list in all of my teaching practices. With my busy schedule, I don’t always have time to create something new to use with my students. The Think Like a Nurse Membership was the first site that gave me access to tools, case studies, handouts, webinars, and more that I could immediately use. My students are challenged and learning with every resource. Keith’s resources go perfectly with class, lab and clinical and covers a wide range of topics. I can’t wait to see his next resource. Christie Cavallo, MSN, RN, EdD (c), CNE, CNEcl University of Tennesee Health Science Center College of Nursing

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will benefit from this membership.
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 innovative case studies and time-saving tools. Students benefit by learning from the case studies, tools, and videos at no extra cost!
Is the content inside the updated membership still the same?
All content will be carried over into the updated platform but will be better than ever! Every case study topic has been revised with current references and all worksheets have been edited to strengthen and improve student learning.
How often will you be adding additional content?
Each month, at least one resource will be added that may include a new case study topic, student and faculty webinar, or tools that faculty can share with students.
How are case studies accessed inside the membership?
Faculty answer keys and PowerPoint files are embedded as PDF docs that cannot be downloaded. The PowerPoint can be shared in class. The student version of each topic is also an embedded PDF that can be viewed by students through a link that faculty can share. Students can then download a template of the case study questions to print or fill in as a writeable document. Using this process ensures security of case studies to prevent unauthorized use.
Classroom and clinical learning worksheets can be shared with students as downloadable PDFs to make it easy to integrate into your content as supplemental learning activities.
Is the content inside the membership secure?
Because all case studies have been completely updated with new scenarios, patient data, and case study structure, the prior versions of KeithRN case studies that are avilable on the internet will have no value to students who may be tempted to take shortcuts. And because all updated content is now embedded into the site, there is nothing from the case study to download except a generic template for students to answer questions as they view an embedded PDF.
Can I share the content inside the membership with other faculty?
According to the terms of the membership, sharing content with other faculty who do not have a membership is strictly prohibited. Members have the license to use all resources with the students they teach.
I have an individual membership and love it. How can I get my department access to the membership?
To get departmental access, share this link with a decision maker in your program so they can register the number of faculty seats that are needed. If a decision is made to purchase, the decision maker can use the program credit card for payment, receive an invoice and detailed instructions to send to faculty to obtain approved access.
As an individual member, you will no longer be responsible for payment and will access the content through the department.
Why do faculty pay for this resource and not students?
Because the vision of KeithRN is to transform how nursing is taught by providing the best possible resources for faculty, it was decided to implement a completely different model that is faculty centric, not student centric. For less than the price of a typical conference, faculty can access innovative teaching with CEUs as well as all the time-saving tools to transform how nursing is taught.
Because students get access to all resources that faculty decide to make available to them, the true cost of the membership can be determined by how many students benefit divided by the individual or departmental cost. Compared to what other companies charge to access simulation based products, the true value of this membership becomes evident. Plus, students are already paying so much in student fees, an increase in student fees is the last thing they need!
If my membership is no longer active, can I still use any of the downloadable resources?
According to the terms of the membership, if an individual or departmental membership is no longer active, the license to use any of the downloadable resources ceases and they cannot be used. Most faculty who are members renew every year unless they experience a life change. Currently the membership has a 99% departmental retention rate.
How soon will I be able to access the membership after registration?
For the security of content and to ensure that students are not receiving access to faculty resources, all new members must be approved before accessing the Think Like a Nurse Membership. Approval will be completed within 24 hours of sign-up. Weekend registrations will be approved on Mondays. If you need immediate assistance, please reach out to Member Support .

Then you may Contact Membership Support , and we will promptly refund the cost of your membership if you signed up within 30 days of cancelling.

Reviews from Nurse Educators
“ KeithRN and its innovative unfolding case studies are a great way to bring the classroom to clinical. The first time I did a clinical reasoning case study in class, a student said, ‘It's like we are in clinical.’ The value of the membership is outstanding and well worth it. You won't regret bringing these products to your classroom! — Kim Smith, MSN, RN Cassville Nursing Program Director
“ I appreciate the different levels of case studies. They really do encourage students to display critical thinking and see the whole picture of patient care. — Daniel Eaton MSN, RN, Instructor of Nursing Penn State University
“ Keith writes in the same fashion that he practices nursing: with excellence, passion, and a pure unadulterated fervor for the profession. Keith generously shares his nursing knowledge and lived experiences within the context of evidence-based knowledge and practices, while simultaneously urging the reader to examine his or her individual and collective commitment to the profession. — Cynthia Clark, PhD, RN, ANEF, FAAN, founder of Civility Matters TM and Professor Emeritus Boise State University
“ We are currently using these case studies as a replacement for clinicals because of COVID. The level of in-depth understanding and interrelationship between pathophysiology, labs, medications, and prioritization of what is and is not important is creating nurses that I would want to take care of me. I recommend this product to any nursing program. — Brandy Stoffel RN, MSN Health & Educational Consultants LLC
“ I love your case studies because it pulls students away from lecture and puts them in real life scenarios in the classroom. — Jennifer Dahl MSN, RNC-OB, Nursing Faculty Concordia University
