HIPAA-compliant NCSBN CJMM-aligned Live in clinical placements

Communication, measured.

Therapeutic communication is the skill that makes a nurse, and the one no program can objectively assess. NurseKind AI develops and scores it, from first sim lab through active clinical placement.

01 The gap

Every program teaches therapeutic communication. Almost none can measure it.

01.1

NCLEX pass rates are under pressure

Next Generation NCLEX tests clinical judgment and person-centered care, competencies that traditional checklists were never built to develop.

01.2

Clinical sites expect more, sooner

Placement partners want students who can hold a real patient conversation on day one. Programs have no readiness data to show them.

01.3

Faculty assessment doesn't scale

Watching one interaction at a time and scribbling notes is subjective, inconsistent between evaluators, and impossible across a whole cohort.

There was no scalable way to develop and document how students actually communicate with patients. Until now.

02 The method

Record. Analyze. Improve.

Three steps from a real patient conversation to an NCSBN-aligned assessment report, no faculty hours required.

02.1

Record the interaction

Students record authentic patient conversations on any phone or desktop, in the sim lab, clinical prep course, or active placement.

iOS · Android · Web
02.2

AI separates the speakers

Automatic transcription with speaker diarization distinguishes student from patient dialogue for precise, fair analysis.

Diarization built in
02.3

The report writes itself

Scores mapped to NCSBN CJMM and AACN Essentials, plus specific coaching with alternative responses, in under 60 seconds, not weeks.

“I practiced therapeutic communication, taught it to nursing students, and watched programs fail to assess it. There was no standard and no tool. So I built one.

11+ years in emergency psychiatric nursing and nursing education at Hofstra University. Her background as a psychiatric nurse practitioner is the reason this works. Therapeutic communication isn't a soft concept here. It's the product.

09 FAQ

What deans and directors ask us

Minutes, not months. Import your existing roster via LMS integration (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Schoology, Brightspace) or bulk CSV upload and start assessing the same day. Institutional plans include live onboarding for faculty and orientation guides for students.
Every assessment is scored against the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, the framework underlying the Next Generation NCLEX. Students get targeted feedback on clinical reasoning, therapeutic communication, and person-centered care, the competencies NGN actually tests.
NurseKind AI is HIPAA-compliant and meets FERPA requirements for educational data. All recordings and transcripts are encrypted in transit and at rest. Programs using the platform in active clinical settings can request a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and we provide documentation for institutional security review.
Yes. Institutions define custom rubric criteria that are evaluated alongside the standard NCSBN/AACN frameworks. Configure once as an admin and your program's specific competencies are automatically applied to every assessment, with results in the detail view and PDF export.
They work together. AI Patient Simulation is a practice mode: students build confidence through unlimited voice conversations with AI patients before real clinical encounters. Recorded assessment evaluates authentic student-patient exchanges in clinical or sim lab settings. Most programs use both: practice first with AI, then assess real performance. Simulation is included in all institutional plans at no extra cost.
Faculty report saving 10+ hours per week on manual assessment and debriefing. Automated analysis returns detailed feedback in under 60 seconds, so faculty time goes to high-value teaching interactions instead of grading.
Transcription is trained on diverse voice patterns, accents, and speaking styles. Assessment focuses on communication content and therapeutic behaviors, never accent or pronunciation, ensuring fair evaluation for all students regardless of linguistic background. External microphones are recommended in noisy sim environments; we can arrange bulk discounts.
