## What is Keener?

INTRODUCING KEENER
Beat burnout and thrive in nursing through self-care, mindful reflection, and motivational support from nurses like you. Keener is your guide to personal growth—an app for nurses, by nurses.

We built Keener because we've experienced the effects of nursing burnout firsthand. Nurses need to take care of themselves too so they can overcome the stress, anxiety, and uncertainty of nursing.

HOW KEENER MAKES SELF-CARE A DAILY PRACTICE
Use our one-of-a-kind Shift Reflection tool to record how you feel after each shift. Our guided reflection was created by nurse wellbeing experts to help you find healthy perspectives, stop fixating on negatives, and untangle your emotions. Reflect regularly on your work as a nurse, and you'll be surprised at how much more confident you feel. Build a personal journal that helps you look back over your own emotional trends over time. 

And when you've reflected, find daily inspiration! Keener shares a new video story each day—created by your peers in nursing and our wellbeing experts—to inspire you in a few minutes. From shift hacks to mindfulness mantras to positive affirmations, we'll give you actionable strategies you can use in your nursing practice every day to feel happier, more resilient, and more confident in how you balance nursing with your life.

Download Keener today. The self-care you deserve to help you thrive in nursing.

WHAT YOU'LL GET WITH A FREE KEENER ACCOUNT
- Shift Reflection: A guided reflection to complete in minutes after each shift so you can untangle your emotions.
- Personal Growth: Daily video stories from your nursing  peers focused on supporting and recharging you before or after your shift.
- Your Personal Journal: Review previous Shift Reflections and spot trends in yourself.

And much more to come!

### 4/5 — Shift reflection tool

*2021-03-10, version 1.0.12*

I really love this app, the shift reflection has really helped center me and my feelings after work but I wish I could look at past reflections to see trends and look back at previous shifts

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, Josie. We really do appreciate it. Reviewing past shift reflections is available in our latest update, and viewing trend data from your past shift reflections is coming soon! Thanks for using Keener!

### 5/5 — LOTS of potential!!

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.10*

Loving the promots for the reflection... I've been NEEDING a guided nurse-journaling tool since I started working and I think this app has a lot of potential! Would love to see an update with a "calendar" page where we can input our schedule and also look back on reflections from the shifts we worked.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! You're not the first to request scheduling functionality, and we're working on how to implement this. As for reviewing past shift reflections, this is part of a big update we've been building that's almost ready for release, and you'll see it soon! Cheers!

### 5/5 — Outstanding App to Use Daily

*2020-12-16, version 1.0.8*

Have been using the app for a few months and now it is part of my pre-work/after-work ICU routine! I am able to self reflect, get interesting short 2mins on content to help keep me engaged and most importantly a self check on my wellness. Without a little Keener each day, it would just be like groundhog day shift after shift verses me remembering my why!!!

### 5/5 — Love it! But where are my shift reflections?

*2020-12-06, version 1.0.7*

Love the app!! So genius and such a helpful tool every nurse should use. Only question is where can I find past reflections I’ve journaled?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! The ability to see past reflections is coming very soon -- we're working on building that functionality right now, as well as a few other updates to the Shift Reflection feature. Stay tuned: we hope to have this functionality available in January 2021.

If you have other suggestions, check out our feedback forum at https://keener.canny.io/keener-improvements.

### 5/5 — Best of All Worlds!

*2020-11-10, version 1.0.6*

There may be other ways to get nursing content, and other ways to journal or mood-track electronically - but the beauty of Keener is having it all in one space, with journal prompts and fields specific to nursing and processing your experiences!

The content is relatable and meaningful, in bite-size chunks that can fit into a busy work environment (or not take over those precious days off!). Can’t wait to see more!

### 5/5 — Awesome Tool for All Healthcare Providers

*2020-11-09, version 1.0.6*

This app is an awesome tool and something I’ve been desiring for years as a nurse. It gives me nurse specific inspiration and stories to look through with really useful content. It is also a really helpful tool for work-life balance when I use the reflection tool! This app is five stars plus in my book! Definitely worth the try for all you nurses and healthcare workers out there! 😊I think the reflection piece is a beneficial tool for all healthcare workers and not just nurses!

### 5/5 — Great app for mindfulness and journaling

*2020-10-30, version 1.0.6*

I’ve been using it to reflect back on each shift, and it has good content for nurses, particular about resiliency, shift hacks, and emotions
