Transforming Education for Nursing Professionals 

IntelyEdu can help you get where you want to go.  We are the premier educational destination for nursing professionals. Our courses and certificate programs are created specifically for those working in post-acute care but are applicable to everyone! You shouldn’t have to dread completing your mandatory continuing education. With IntelyEdu, you can learn from leading nurse experts on topics that have real applications to your practice. 

IntelyEdu's Story

IntelyEdu was born from a desire to support nurses and nursing assistants who work in post-acute care develop their knowledge and improve their care for some of the most vulnerable members of our population. We recognize that mandatory continuing education has not been fun for learners.  


One of IntelyCare’s co-founders, Chris Caulfield, RN, believed that education for professionals did not have to be boring but could be interesting and engaging. With a team of support and a high-tech animation studio, the first of our courses were built.  


Knowing that continuing education means nothing without accreditation, we sought the highest designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). We have been an accredited provider since 2020.  

Our COVID-19 course was taken over 500,000 times from all around the globe! 


Seeing that the demand for quality education was high, IntelyCare hired a Director of Education in 2021. An educator with over 20 years of experience teaching nurses and adult learners, Rachel West, MSN, MHA, RN, brings innovative approaches to continuing education at IntelyCare.  


We believe that education is the foundation for meeting personal and professional goals. With that in mind, we decided that our IntelyPros (IPs) should get -, as one of the benefits of employment with us -, access to free continuing education. Our IPs are actively taking courses (over 10,000 since the program was launched!) which helps to deepen their knowledge and experience, and to provide the highest quality of care to their patients.  


Today, with the help of our subject matter experts guiding content creation, courses are launched to the marketplace on a regular basis on topics that are timely, relevant to practice, and user focused. We ask ourselves, “What good is education if people don’t learn from it or use it?”  

IntelyEdu also believes that strategic partnerships with colleges of nursing and other professional organizations help our employees reach and achieve their goals. Our pPartnership with Excelsior University offers learners who wish to pursue nursing an excellent education from a leading uUniversity.


IntelyEdu is your partner in continuing education. We cannot wait to walk alongside you on your education journey.

Veronica Southerland

Veronica Southerland, APRN, FNP-BC, FIEL, DNP(s) is a 2019 Inaugural Nursing Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Leadership SONSIEL Fellow, entrepreneur, and speaker, also known as “Vee the NP.”

Veronica started her nursing career in Greenville, North Carolina. She moved on to Charlotte, NC, working as a registered nurse. After a brief move to Florida, Veronica and her family found their way back to Charlotte where she opened her first business – a home healthcare agency. While she was starting this business, Veronica continued to work as a nurse. The home healthcare business took off and had a very successful run, thriving until 2010. At that point, Veronica decided to make another career pivot, going back to school to get her NP. As she puts it, she “kept [her] head down and focused,” and continued working while going to school. Knowing the rewards that one can reap from continuous hard work helped to keep her motivated. In 2015, Veronica started making house calls with a new method of treating patients with IV hydration therapy. She created a new business, Advanced Practice Care, and became known as “Maserati Medicine.” She drove all over her state providing IV hydration to private patients seeking her care. Veronica’s journey from RN to business owner, to NP and a business owner once again, is unique. She wants to show other nurses that journeys like this are possible for them, and to teach them how they can create sustainable and long-standing businesses of their own. Veronica was a featured guest of IntelyEdu on Intely@Sea. The course she taught covered everything learners needed to know to start, maintain, and grow an IV hydration business. The course highlighted how mindset, marketing, media training, and more can help learners work to get their business off the ground as a nursing professional.
