Assistant Professor Keith Nesbitt joined the faculty of Mars Hill University in 2024 after extensive experience in bedside nursing. He holds Progressive Care Certification from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses and still practices on Progressive Care, Stepdown and Medical-Surgical units.

Keith teaches in the core curriculum for Traditional, Prelicensure BSN students. Current courses include: Fundamentals of Health Promotion, Promoting Adult Health and leading MHU student nurses in their hospital clinical rotations.

Nursing is the crossroads of medicine and customer service; it is both an art and a science. Keith’s educational philosophy is to include elements of both the art and the science into his teaching so that MHU student nurses can be best prepared for the modern workforce.
