While nursing educators agree that humanistic behaviors (empathy, therapeutic communication, cultural sensitivity) are critical to patient care, most admit they don't assess these skills because objective tools don't exist. Simulation labs and VR platforms excel at teaching clinical procedures but fail to elicit authentic emotional responses. Faculty lack scalable ways to evaluate soft skills in real conversations, contributing to declining NCLEX pass rates (87.1%, per NCSBN 2025 data) and over 65,000 qualified applicants turned away annually (AACN 2023). NurseKind AI solves this, with pilot programs already planned for Spring 2026 at multiple nursing schools.

The platform analyzes audio from actual student-patient interactions (not mannequin or VR simulations) and provides objective feedback on humanistic behaviors aligned with NCSBN's Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and AACN Essentials. Students upload recordings through web, iOS, or Android apps at https://nursekindai.com [https://nursekindai.com/] and receive detailed assessments within minutes."After 11 years in psychiatric emergency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, I saw that nurses who truly connect with patients demonstrate specific behaviors: active listening, cultural sensitivity, therapeutic presence," said Dr. Stacie Dee, founder and Assistant Professor at Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing. "But faculty had no objective way to assess these skills at scale, especially in real student conversations versus mannequin simulations."

Bridging the Assessment Gap

With 1,800 faculty positions vacant nationwide, nursing educators report they don't include soft skills in formal assessments despite knowing these competencies are essential. Manual evaluation is too subjective and time-consuming.NurseKind AI provides what simulation labs cannot: objective assessment of humanistic behaviors in authentic conversations. Faculty receive dashboards showing competency development across cohorts, saving 10+ hours weekly. Students practice unlimited real interactions in simulated and educational settings before clinical placements, bridging the theory-practice gap.

The platform uses speaker diarization to separate dialogue, then evaluates active listening, patient advocacy, and emotional regulation. Students get examples of what they said and what to try differently."This gives faculty a way to finally include soft skills in student evaluations without adding hours to their workload," Dr. Dee said. "Students practice unlimited times in simulated settings, get objective feedback instantly, and faculty see aggregate data showing exactly where their cohort needs support."
