Nurse Builders

Louise D. Jakubik is the Chief Executive and Learning Officer of Nurse Builders. As a nurse entrepreneur and innovator, Dr. Jakubik’s primary impact is to shape and advance nursing practice nationally as the go-to resource for nurse credentialing preparation. Drawing on innovation and science, she empowers nurses and nursing organizations by offering high-quality, accessible evidence-based certification review resource materials. Her extensive library of nearly 40 certification review courses and related study materials, have proven instrumental in supporting individuals and organizations, fostering an environment conducive to higher certification rates, and instilling a culture of certification. Dr. Jakubik’s extensive portfolio mirrors the surge in credentialling among individual nurses achieving certification and the organizations' concurrent efforts to elevate the nurse generalist certification rate to uphold organizational accreditation through the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® and ANCC Pathway to Excellence® Program.
