Who we are 

Two nurse educators. One shared obsession with getting CE right.

We're former clinical nurse educators who've spent a combined 20+ years inside the world of continuing education for health professionals. We started DualMinds to help you navigate the minefield of accreditation requirements and stay focused on the education itself, not just the paperwork around it.

Kara Classens, BSN, RN, CHCP

I have a strong belief that if you need help, your first call should be to a nurse. My vocation to the nursing profession has allowed me to capitalize on my ability to be a right and left brain thinker - a DualMind, if you will! I have a passion for the science and art of nursing and am grateful that my experience has provided me the ability to support teams as they navigate the complex world of continuing education for healthcare professionals.

Katie West, MSN, RN, CHCP

I love connecting people to clarity. I am fueled by the “aha” moments where insight fully lands and knowledge becomes something you can actually use. My clinical background and training as a masters-prepared educator means I bring a rare depth and breadth to the work of continuing education. Think: adult learning theory meets hard realities of what clinicians actually need. Helping teams make sense of complexity is where I do my best work.
