I’ve rarely seen a teaching style that’s more infectious and compelling than Karen Mercereau’s. Though the training itself is very focused and intense, I can truthfully say that my RN Patient Advocate training experience was a personal life-changing event. Karen presents herself as a truly dedicated, well-prepared leader in such a vitally important course of direction in healthcare for patients and caregivers alike. I highly recommend this course to any experienced clinical RN who wants to be a professional pioneer in this emerging field of patient advocacy.

I am a seasoned, well educated RN yet I had no idea how to put a business together. RN Patient Advocates has organized all of Karen Mercereau’s eight years of RN Patient Advocacy experience into an intense immersion program that provides the Advocacy Process by which we can work with patients as well as all the tools to build our own advocacy practices. In making my decision to take the class, I realized that the cost of start-up was minimal so the cost of the course with all the tools I needed to begin was the investment I had to make.
I would say this to all of you: take the course and get the knowledge, skills and confidence you need to get going. I highly recommend the RN Patient Advocate course. You won’t regret a cent of what you’ve invested.
