Of nurses, by nurses, for the whole career

Where nurses grow nurses.

From your first shift to nurse leader, Kaira is where nurses help each other grow: coaching that turns real shifts into proof you belong, a community that has your back, and a record of your becoming that is yours to keep.

Your moment, earned.

See how it works

Reflect on a shift. Coaching names your growth. The record is yours.

About a minute, most nights.

Step 1

Reflect on a shift

A tap on the hard nights, three short prompts on the normal ones. Voice or text, in the car or at the kitchen table.

Step 2

Coaching that names your growth

Kaira reads the shift you actually had and names the competence inside it, mapped to the AACN Essentials.

Step 3

A record that is yours

Every reflection becomes evidence on a record you own. It travels with you across units, jobs, and years.

A shared language for the work

Five Practices, one open framework.

Head, Heart, Hands, Integration, Impact. Mapped to the 2021 AACN Essentials so it reads in committee, and graded with a three-bucket rubric that is honest about what a single nurse can demonstrate alone.

Read the framework

Every competency maps to the AACN Essentials 2021.

How it works

Coaching that maps to your real curriculum.

We built the role-transition tooling for an In-Center Dialysis to Home Dialysis crossover. The same pipeline reads your residency curriculum and shows you where it lands on the framework, including the parts the old format hid.

Why we're a community, not a vendor

We build with the people who do the work.

  • The Five Practices framework is owned by a non-profit foundation. Free to read, cite, and teach from, whether or not you ever sign up.
  • Educators and L&D leaders vote on every framework change before it ships. No silent edits.
  • Preceptor observations live on the same record as your own reflections. No parallel paperwork.
  • No employer can read your private journal. Ever. The firewall is in the schema, not in a policy doc.
  • Asked to precept when you did not volunteer for it? You can use Kaira just for yourself first. Nothing you write is visible to your unit or your manager, so there is no risk in starting.
