In response to a feedback survey, an Anonymous RN confirmed that 'Cardiac Confidence' covered the right amount of material, rated the instructors with a 5/5, and when asked what really resonated, said: "Cath lab patients, interventions, setup, devices, ART lines and Sheaths and Chest Tubes", and that the course was "perfect".

awesome!

Great course. Easy to follow and information is very helpful to care for cardiac patients.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I have found that Kati has hit the mark in so many ways for the support of new and soon to be nurses. As an educator at my hospital I have been inspired with many different ways to reach out and teach the new nurses that come to our hospital. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration. I highly recommend FreshRN. Thank you Kati and Stay Fresh 🙂

I am a seasoned nurse in many areas of nursing but have never worked on a cardiac specific floor. I stumbled upon FreshRN and decided to try out the Cardiac Confidence course. This helped me quickly gain knowledge and confidence in caring for my cardiac patients in addition to being able to explain meds/procedures to patients/family members in a way that they could understand. Highly recommend.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Very informative. I love the videos that was shown. I been a nurse for years and still learning new information. I don’t work in the ICU setting, but it is great to have an understanding about what’s going on before coming to a step down unit.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I will be starting my unit orientation as a new grad RN in a Cardiac Surgery unit. This course is really helpful! Every topic and module is very informative!! I must say it increases my confidence. More power!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I had my first patient who was admitted for a carotid endarterectomy the day after I had completed that part of the course. I felt much more confident that afternoon when I was going over his discharge instructions and education!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I am so glad the updated version includes some IV introductions because in school they didn't really teach me much on IV. To have a professional talk me through and explain the whole process so cohesively is so helpful. I continue to go back to the course to review the materials and find it very handy to have all the common cardiac medications, procedures available for me. Thank you for preparing me to become a better nurse!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] It was beneficial, this course was done with new graduates in mind.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] As a new CVICU nurse from the COVID generation, this is a game changer!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] In the weeks leading up to my first bedside job, I was very excited, but also nervous about the steep learning curve and how few practice hours on the floor I had gotten in schools. FreshRN kept me feeling excited about this new chapter in my learning and my career, and gave me both the skills that I needed as a trainee and as a new nurse, as well as the confidence that I could and would be able to do the job. I highly recommend!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I've been able to apply the course in managing care as well as doing better patient education for my patients. Do it! Don't hesitate and just purchase the course! It's pretty awesome!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Just do it! I feel much more competent about the care I'm giving my patients and what to expect when things don't go as expected.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] It's worth the money and taught in simple terms and made interesting.

The Cardiac Nurse Crash Course is fun and FULL of information!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] You won't regret it. The information is presented in a fun way.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Go for it.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] As a new orientee, I can say this crash course has been my saving grace at a pocket glance!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] This course has given me more confidence when I'm at work, especially as a new grad RN. I only wish I found this earlier!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Shortly after taking the course, I had a patient go into 3rd degree heart block. I was more confident and prepared when the cardiologist placed a temporary pacemaker at the bedside and the patient stabilized.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Amazing!!!! Taught me so many important things I missed getting precepted in a busy environment as a new grad!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] This course helped me transition from med-surg to progressive care and when I moved onto cath lab I referred back to some of the content.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Increased my confidence as a preceptor and helped reinforce my knowledge.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Worth the purchase, you'll feel more comfortable when you start on the floor and have a jump start on learning.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] It is a must get if you are in your first year on the floor.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Do it! Course is great for new staff but also for staff who are wanting a refresher!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] It’s definitely worth every penny. It gave me more confidence, and knowledge which led me to becoming very proficient and now I am thriving!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Make the purchase. Just do it. Kati Kleber and her team will enhance your confidence whether you’re a new nurse or not. As they say, not a day goes by without a lesson learned. Whether it’s her neuro course or the comprehensive new nurse master class and every course in between, you will finish strong with a sense of tranquility. You’ve got this! Don’t study alone.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I'm glad I found this Crash Course to help me prepare for my new role as a new grad RN in Cardiac Surgery In-patient Unit!! Worth the investment! CHEERS!!!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] This course was amazing for a new grad who is about to be on a cardiac post-intervention unit. You are very encouraging and made me realize that I CAN do this, no matter how many butterflies I have in my stomach. I've had 5.5 months since nursing school so I definitely needed a refresher. There were some typos or things that could have been worded in a way to better understand it. For example, in the sheath section when talking about sizes (Fr), you mentioned sizes for groin access and for arterial access. I just was confused, thinking it meant to explain sizes for venous and for arterial access since the groin could be venous or arterial OR it was talking about groin access and radial access. Just things like this! Thank you Kati for all the work you've put into this.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Great course! For the visual learners, it would be so helpful to maybe have a few more photos/video links, particularly when discussing equipment such as the Impella and IABP, or pacemakers. Photos of what exactly the RN would have his/her hands on, etc. Otherwise this was perfect - it made certain things that I've unquestioningly done/communicated in report many times "click" and gave me a greater conceptual and big picture understanding. Thanks again.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Do it; it is very much worth the investment. It will help bring everything together for you.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Great foundation to build on to reference to.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] This is a great course to reinforce and enhance what you learned in nursing school and prepare you for actual nursing. I'm waiting for my orientation to start so this is helping to give me something to do, make me feel better prepared, and enhance my skills. I really appreciate the spots where the course says "here's when you call the provider." I feel like this may be something I'm not sure when to do as a new nurse.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Super helpful for anyone moving to or starting in an ICU/CCU.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I worked as a new grad on a telemetry floor with very limited orientation. This was SO helpful in making me feel confident and knowledgeable as a new grad. I recommend it to my friends who are recent graduates regardless of their speciality since cardiac conditions are seen everywhere.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] All the different forms (audio, video, PDF, following along) of teaching are very helpful. Kati is good at putting the learner into a mental scenario so we could imagine how things might look in the real place world. Very helpful. Jeannie's input and expertise helped to solidify the learning. Thanks to both of you. I'm an educator in the hospital where I work and I have gleaned so much from Fresh RN in understanding how best to help those I teach... most of whom are newer nurses. Thanks Kati!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I will highly recommend this course to all my friends, I love the way you explain things in real world situations to help build knowledge and understanding. I'm not a brand new nurse, but this course was still extremely beneficial to help refresh or solidify some things that I already know and build upon that knowledge... this course will help me be a better nurse!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] As a new grad RN about to start work on a cardiac floor, I felt like this course provided me with a great refresher of some content from nursing school, plus some more in-depth information and skills related specifically to cardiac. I am feeling much more confident about my first day! Thanks Kati and Jeannie!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I have been a nurse for 25 years. I took this course just for fun and I loved it. I only regret that it was not around when I was a new nurse. All nursing schools would be so much better if they incorporated your course! You hit the nail on the head for nurse training. Very clear explanations and invaluable tips. There is no comparison to learning from the best and I believe the two of you eliminated a lot of blood, sweat and tears for all your followers. It was so much better than the other courses I have taken and I even got CEU's. I am very thankful you are leading nurses.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Excellent class for new graduate RN like me that got hired on a cardiac floor.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Oh yes, this course is awesome. I went from not being able to understand why my patients were at the hospital, to giving a confidence report.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Very good course! Simple and what new graduate nurses need to know about the CVICU!

This course was incredibly helpful to me as a new grad RN starting on a Cardiac Telemetry floor. It gave me a great foundation and I felt it helped tremendously to know the terminology and medications that I would be using on a daily basis. I highly recommend Cardiac Confidence!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] I’ve been in PCU telemetry for a little over 2 years now. This cardiac course gave me a refresher and also insight into some critical nursing. Mahalo!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Wonderful course! Especially for those going to a cardiac unit or CVICU. The information is concise, and the visuals and videos are a great resource! I will definitely refer back to this course!

After searching the internet feverishly for a comprehensive course to meet my needs as an ICU nurse (I've been away from the bedside for 2 years), I finally found what I desperately needed in the ICU breakthrough and Cardiac course. These courses are pure gold! The course is prepared by experienced ICU nurses with advanced degrees and a wealth of experience! They way the courses are taught with real life experiences and no fluff gave me exactly what I needed. I feel like I have caring preceptors on call all the time. Thank you FRESH RN for the boost of confidence and the refreshment that I needed to be a successful, knowledgeable, and safe ICU nurse!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] As a veteran nurse who hasn't specifically worked a cardiac floor in years, this course was so refreshing and informative! I loved being able to sit down at home or work and pull up short reviews when I didn't have hours to devote to the computer. I will be back to participate in other Fresh RN courses!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Thank you for the contents. I have been a nurse for 7 years and I learned sooo much valuable information on this site that I feel like I should have known because its pertinent information for safe patient care. So much information is thrown at you in such a short amount of time that there is no way to retain a majority of it. That is what I love and fear about the medical field is that there is sooo much to learn every day (love) and because health care and its practices are ever changing, it is a momentous task to keep up with all the new data, safe practices, medications, side effects, new diseases and treatments etc... So courses like this are soo nice as a condensed refresher of general knowledge that should be accumulated in cardiac or ICU specific fields. I always want to know EVERYTHING about everything so I think I sabotage my limited memory capacity to retain info pertinent in the field. So I feel the info given here gave just the right amount to understand the mechanism of actions or the need to know details, to retain the knowledge and put it into practice. Thanks again for the refresher. I made some notes and put them in an easy to reference folder.

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] Thank you for this course! I have been in nursing for 7.5 years and my background was cardiology (oh how I love cardiology), however I started travel nursing for the last 3 years with a variety of jobs and have lost a lot of my cardiology knowledge. This was a great course to update my knowledge and skills as a nurse. Thank you!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] This is a wonderful course! I have been an ICU nurse for almost 6 years and even though I desperately could have used this prior to the transition to critical care, I am so grateful for the refresher! Thank you so much!

[CARDIAC CONFIDENCE] This course has helped me tremendously. I’ve been recommending this [crash] course to all the new grads on my unit. Lol

Hi Kati! I am a new grad and discovered your podcast just as I was graduating. THANK YOU for creating content that is so specific for new grads! This is such a hard transition and your podcast and Cardiac Crash Course have helped me so much in my transition to a PCU residency. I’m hoping to also purchase the residency course when it’s next on sale (still feeling like a poor nursing student lol). Just wanted to let you know you’ve made a difference in my journey as a baby nurse and I so appreciate you! 💕

Yes x1000 you have helped me! I did your cardiac crash course when I first started on a cardiac stepdown unit about a year and a half ago. I was actually severely bullied by my preceptor to the point of almost quitting nursing all together. Your course and podcasts helped me gain confidence with knowledge I wasn’t getting that I should have during orientation, and ultimately made me realize I would be oriented only once and needed to stand up for myself. I continued to listen to your podcasts all during my first year of nursing. I loved the “when to call a rapid response” and “I know what I’m doing, now what”. Don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing! Skinny jeans and side parts will always be relevant! Your experience, insight, and wisdom is so valuable. Thank you for sharing some of it with me!!

I took your cardiac crash course and loved the content. I noticed recently that it’s now in audio files, too, so I can listen to it. I love this. I had my preceptorship last spring in Tele and having your course helped me to feel confident and more prepared (knowing what was important, what to look out for, how to talk to doctors, etc). I also took your resume and interview course and used your template for my resume (and got the job!) I listened to your podcasts about interviews and about new nurses and what makes a great new grad. All of them brought me a sense of confidence in myself, which was so needed. I love the cut-to-the-core realness that you bring. You cover what matters in a genuine way that’s easy to connect with. Love your content! Thank you!
