About Charles
Charles Kunkle: Speaker, Award-Winning Author, Consultant, and Leader of the 'No Time To Care' MovementBedside caregivers are frustrated. Patient experience is a top priority, and although that is important, it is equally crucial for nurses' voices to be heard and be happy with their jobs. Because many nurses are either leaving their jobs or purposely not joining the profession, others are over-worked and unhappy. It is predicted by 2025 that there will be a nursing shortage of 1.3 million – the worst in over 50 years. With over 25 years of healthcare and critical care experience, Charles has accumulated the best practices that create a workplace environment that is energizing, empowering and engaging.

Speaker. Author. Founder.
PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER
Energetic, funny, and passionate about the healthcare industry, Charles Kunkle's 8-step game plan for leaders has helped countless healthcare institutions throughout the United States achieve incredible results in both patient satisfaction and caregiver engagement. His affordable programs, including presentations and workshops, are a necessity as healthcare changes and government agencies, as well as private insurers, tie reimbursement directly to the patient experience.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR
As a healthcare leader for over 25 years, Charles grew frustrated as institutions began switching their focus from caring for patients to meeting government and administrative percentile requirements. This misguided focus shifted from what matters in healthcare: Empowering the bedside caregiver so they can deliver the most personal experience. Charles believes patient satisfaction is the direct measure of how much the bedside caregivers are engaged. Without this, the pursuit of patient satisfaction will always be unachievable.
