Transform Nurse Training
With a proven process, we identify all knowledge and skills in a clinical setting and prioritize the exact competencies to get Nurses from novice to expert.
What We Do
We partner with healthcare systems to identify and prioritize the essential knowledge and skills nurses need for their specific patients and units. Our streamlined process requires just 7 hours of your team's time to gather and share the necessary data — we handle the rest. Additionally, we provide a specialized, AI-integrated program with over 20 learning tools, enabling your nurses to master the competencies we identify quickly and more effectively than ever before.

How It’s Done
R.P.M. : ReadyRNs Practice Model
D.E.P.A. : Data-Driven, Expert Approved, Practice Analysis
We use DEPA to analyze real-world data, EHR insights and expert input, to pinpoint the essential skills and knowledge nurses need most, ranking competencies by frequency and impact to accelerate Nurse readiness and improve patient outcomes with a focused and relevant approach.
#1 Prioritize
We leverage DEPA insights to align training programs with real-world needs by equipping educators, leaders, and learners with tailored roadmaps that bridge the gap between education and practice while streamlining residency and onboarding programs for nurse training.
#2 Inform
We empower your nurses with interactive tools and practical applications that build confidence, reinforce critical thinking, and guide them from foundational skills to advanced reasoning, preparing them to work independently.
#3 Master
Nurses apply their skills to real patients, generating data that feeds back into DEPA to create a cycle of continuous improvement, validating Nurse readiness and refining training priorities with real-world feedback from patient care outcomes.
#4 Patient Care
Streamline Nurse Training Without Compromising Quality
For example, when we used this method for the largest hospital system in WA, we found over 12,000 nursing competencies and identified the 421 essential skills needed for new nurses to confidently care for typical med-surg patient assignments. By focusing training on these high-priority competencies, organizations can streamline onboarding, reduce costs, and build nurse readiness faster than ever before.

The DEPA Impact
Real-World DEPA Applications
For a multi-state specialty clinic chain, DEPA enabled ReadyRNs to identify priorities for training, affecting over 40,000 patients annually. Nurses were trained on the most critical competencies, reducing dependency on physicians, and empowering the healthcare team in providing consistent high-quality care.
“Imagine landing your dream job right out of nursing school only to walk away less than a year later. Self-doubt about clinical competencies and skills sabotaged Grant Ely, PhD, MBA, RN(ReadyRNs Founder) early foray into nursing. Read more how he flipped the script and now helps build confidence, and competencies, for new nurses and nursing students through ReadyRNs.”

“For hospital nurse educators, this data is equally invaluable, allowing for system-wide and unit-specific tracking and trending, which helps target learning needs for nurses more precisely. It also validates that the content being taught is relevant to current clinical demands, providing a foundation for guiding future improvements. Most recently, I used this data to identify a significant practice gap. Further analysis revealed that an underutilized medication, when administered in the emergency department, could reduce patient ED time by approximately 25% for a specific high-needs population."

“The use of DEPA addresses a significant challenge that hospitals recognize when educating and training nurses as they transition to practice: the need for tailored competencies that are relevant in their individual practice settings.”
