Your interview course helped me land my second DREAM JOB! I actually have 7 years experience but it has been 5 years since my last interview. I know your books helped me get my first dream job in surgery, so when I went back to review them I found your new course. My new job offer is for my first-choice company in my first-choice location and my first-choice schedule for the salary I asked for. Not to mention other positive perks; I am in complete shock. HOW DO I SAY THANK YOU! Maybe all of that information is available somewhere in google land, but I did not have much time to prepare and your course gave me all the fine-tuning and comforting I needed, from researching facilities to understanding the purpose of the behavioral questions, to the exact wording of thank you notes. It absolutely made a difference for me.

I really appreciate this Nursing Report Basics course you offered. I am a new nurse and report has been one of the most dreaded events of the shift for me...giving to the oncoming nurse. I took notes and will definitely watch again to learn it better. Thank you so much for offering this knowledge and tips.

Hi Kati- I am a new grad nurse on a neuro floor and I took your Neuro Wise course and the New Nurse Masterclass. I have never worked in acute care before, and your courses have been extremely helpful to explain the flow/day in the life of acute care nursing and how a hospital works. The neuro course has been spot on in covering the disease processes, procedures, diagnostics, labs etc. that are the norm for my unit, and which are NOT covered in nursing school. As a brand new nurse, your courses feel like having a preceptor come along side and teach me all the things I need to know, and have helped me feel not so lost and overwhelmed. Thank you for great courses and excellent content.

I completed this course during the first six months of my ICU new graduate program, taking my time as those were busy days and nights! I truly appreciate the detail and effort put into creating these modules. This course has already proven to be a boon in my practice and has enhanced my safety as a new graduate nurse in the ICU. Thank you!

The Master RN class helped me navigate through my 1st 6 months as a nurse who works on the ortho/med surg floor. I gained valuable insight and utilized many of the tips from the course. I recommend it to anyone who is just starting out as a new nurse. I plan to check out other courses as I feel the content is fully relatable.

Nursing Report Basics helped to confirm the things I was doing right and gave me ideas on how to be better. I like the section about how to deal with a rude off going nurse because I dealt with that recently and it really bothered me. Now it doesn't phase me at all and I know how to prepare myself for nurses who are condescending like that.

This course was amazing and really helped me understand my post-stroke patients better! I work in a critical care step-down unit and we see many conscious stroke patients. Before taking this course, I was unaware that peak swelling after an ischemic stroke is day 3. Now I have a better understanding of what to expect from my conscious post-stroke patients as well as what an abnormal neuro assessment looks like!

I just wanted to take a moment and write to you that I am really enjoying the A fib email course. I have been an RN for just over two years and started my career on a tele unit. Due to the COVID pandemic, our unit has seen an increase in med surg overflow patients and the result has been less emphasis on cardiac centered education for new grads. Your paid courses and email courses have been so helpful to me in filling those educational gaps. I love how you can break the topic down into manageable pieces and cut straight to the most ‘need to know’ information to take care of patients. I’m not much of a basketball person, but your analogy of the cardiac electrical pathway was so spot on. I’m planning on using it when precepting new grads. Personally, it has been helpful to work through the given situation (like when a patient flips into A Fib RVR) prior to it happening in real life and has made me feel more prepared to handle the situation when it happens on the unit. Thank you so much for doing what you do to help nursing students and RNs alike. I appreciate you.

[NEW NURSE MASTER CLASS] I used this course in conjunction with my new grad RN orientation program... there were definitely some challenging days at the hospital, but I was able to ground myself and ease the stress and anxiety by reviewing/replaying certain segments. How to navigate relationships with patients, coworkers, etc., along with self-awareness and self-care tips were very beneficial. Thank you!

I really got a lot out of your stuff about giving report to the nitpicking nurse. I've been a nurse for six months and I've been working four shifts a week. The job is hard and I'm learning every shift but I've found the stuff I take home with me is not the rapid response or code but a nasty nurse at shift change. Just two days ago on my fifth shift in six days I had to wait forty-five minutes to give report only to have the nurse ask me things like "How does she take her pills?" I would have told you if they needed to be crushed in apple sauce or one at a time. I was hot. Your video was very helpful and I'll implement some of it moving forward. Thanks.

[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 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.

[MED-SURG MINDSET] This course has helped alleviate my pre-shift anxieties, and the clear, to the point, creative teaching has actually stuck and I can apply every single module from this course to each shift. In med-surg, there is such a variety of patients and varying reasons that they are in the hospital. It is not possible to know it all, but this course gives me a foundation for SO many diagnosis and treatment plans. I don't feel lost, they way I did before this course!

New Nurse Master Class empowered me with knowledge and practical skills to smooth my transition from nursing student to registered nurse. It was well worth my money and time. I used the information from this course daily in my new job as a Med Surg nurse and know I will continue to reference it as my career continues. Specifically, it helped me to build confidence, have realistic expectations for myself, prioritize healthy pre and post shift routines, manage my time better at work, understand the roles of patient care team members, and communicate assertively and intentionally with patients and coworkers. Thank you FreshRN authors and contributors for your genuine encouragement and guidance. You made a real difference in my nursing career and personal life.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Thank you so much for this course!! This course turned an avalanche of information, that I would have had to look for myself in multiples sources, into a small hill of information that I was able to clearly understand. It was very straight forward and anticipated my needs for a new ICU nurse. It allowed me to ask questions, and brought me so much clarity when it came to working day-to-day at a hospital. Every nurse has their own understanding of each of these concepts which I respect, but with so many different takes and their voice having no reference or source, I was looking for a solid foundation I could refer back to and look deeper into, and this course provided just that. I feel so much more confident. I really appreciated the segment about our emotional well-being because I neglected this for so long, before even going to the ICU and it cut my ICU adventure short because of burn out. I look forward to using this new perspective to go back to the ICU and share with other nurses.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] I'm a recent RN graduate. I have NOT obtained a job yet in ICU, but I purchased the course to have some advanced knowledge as to what to expect. I'm a very proactive person, and I believe this coarse should be purchased before entering into a ICU position. Also study this information everyday like your studying for a nursing exam. At the beginning of my day I always did a mock nursing report with CC. DX. TX Plan. followed by Head to Toe assessment and Patient Goal for that day. Before bed, I study Central Line and Arterial Line, and Nursing Considerations. My philosophy is 'Be proactive and always anticipate the worst'. That way your patient has a good chance for survival.

Hi Kati! I took the Nursing Report Basics course and I absolutely loved it. It helped me understand what the purpose of report actually is and what you should be focusing on when giving report. As a new grad nurse finding out what you should be focusing on when giving report makes it so much easier. Knowing what to focus on also makes it smoother when giving report to the oncoming nurse. I love how you have a video and you also sum up the points for the video because I am a visual and auditory learner. I also wanted to thank you for a course that is free and specifically for new grad nurses.

Using your HIRED course as a guide, I crafted a resume and cover letter and was promptly invited to an interview. I was expecting a one-on-one interview with the manager, but it was a panel interview with four people from the ICU. I'm so glad I listened to your podcasts and went through the "HIRED" behavioral interview questions - I was super nervous, but also felt very well prepared. And clearly, it was an effective process because I got a call the NEXT day that they were offering me an ICU position in their new grad program!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] I would 100% recommend it. It targets especially new nurses coming into the ICU. Ashley and Kati address all the important concepts to know as a new nurse in the ICU. You don't feel like your head is going to explode because the information is presented in a way that is concise and only what you should REALLY know as a new nurse is addressed! They talk also about soft skills, self compassion. They really help you prepare mentally for what is ahead!

Holy crap Ashley! Your ICU course is saving my life right now! I just had my first three shifts in the ICU with a patient post open-heart. She ended up having an ischemic bowel and had a bowel resection so I saw the crazy labs that show metabolic acidosis and she was put on CRRT for a while due to her kidneys shutting down post-op. She was put back on a vent after her bowel resection so I got to see all of those settings and she was also on several drips throughout the whole weekend. Everything is starting to come together with your course and I just wanted to let you know how amazing it is and how appreciated you are! And Kati as well!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Hi ladies overall great content! I really enjoyed the latter half of this course, the first few episodes were like another member said, not really for me (although my previous experience is as a tech and not a nurse). I really appreciated that portion being "dripped" down to us and enjoyed the way you explained it. I know you all are really busy and may not get a chance to listen to the voiceovers, but some of them came out a bit choppy with inconsistent volume. Perhaps a different mic could help make the volume more consistent?

I have never worked in acute care before, and your courses have been extremely helpful to explain the flow/day in the life of acute care nursing and how a hospital works. The neuro course has been spot on in covering the disease processes, procedures, diagnostics, labs etc. that are the norm for my unit, and which are NOT covered in nursing school.

I completed this course during the first six months of my ICU new graduate program, taking my time as those were busy days and nights! I truly appreciate the detail and effort put into creating these modules. This course has already proven to be a boon in my practice and has enhanced my safety as a new graduate nurse in the ICU. Thank you!

The Master RN class helped me navigate through my 1st 6 months as a nurse who works on the ortho/med surg floor. I gained valuable insight and utilized many of the tips from the course. I recommend it to anyone who is just starting out as a new nurse. I plan to check out other courses as I feel the content is fully relatable.

Nursing Report Basics helped to confirm the things I was doing right and gave me ideas on how to be better. I like the section about how to deal with a rude off going nurse because I dealt with that recently and it really bothered me. Now it doesn't phase me at all and I know how to prepare myself for nurses who are condescending like that.

Amazing content and advice. You hit all the point that I fear and face during report hand off and receiving. I am two years into bedside nursing, but this is still extremely relevant and I wish I watched it when I was a new grad! Thank you so much :)

Being a new RN on an orthopedic floor, This course has been very helpful. Not only have I reviewed the materials in this training at the start of my first year, I have referred to it several times throughout my first year and it has helped me understand how to effectively and safely care for my patients after various orthopedic surgeries.

As a new grad in the ICU this course helped me tremendously. My ICU preceptor can only give me so much info in such a short time so this course really helped me understand things in a deeper level, breaking it down to my level of understanding.

This course was amazing and really helped me understand my post-stroke patients better! I work in a critical care step-down unit and we see many conscious stroke patients. Before taking this course, I was unaware that peak swelling after an ischemic stroke is day 3. Now I have a better understanding of what to expect from my conscious post-stroke patients as well as what an abnormal neuro assessment looks like!

This course helped me in the initial stages of becoming an ICU nurse. It has been almost two years now and I have checked back in with these modules to refresh and still find new information that helps me at work. Thank you for developing this program!

Very helpful for new grad med-surg nurse. The floor can be stressful and busy and I think this will help me get the hang of things a bit faster.

Amazing course. So well organized and helpful. I needed brushing up on what a good neuro assessment looked like and this course broke down the lessons in a very structured and organized way.

This course was helpful for a nurse switching to the med surg specialty from a different specialty.

As a New Ortho Nurse, having worked at Home Health and Rehab Facility for more than 15 years. I have decided to go back to Hospital settings. I really needed courses that I can review to be able to transition safely as Ortho Nurse. I give 💯% review. FreshRN Ortho Nurse courses has been a awe blessing to me. Love you Kati!

I appreciate the time you took to provide us with this mini course. It was very helpful and made me feel a little more confident with report. We tend to get the entire pt hx and it becomes a bit cumbersome when not all of it is relevant to the pt's admission. Thank you so much!!!

I just wanted to take a moment and write to you that I am really enjoying the A fib email course. I have been an RN for just over two years and started my career on a tele unit. Due to the COVID pandemic, our unit has seen an increase in med surg overflow patients and the result has been less emphasis on cardiac centered education for new grads. Your paid courses and email courses have been so helpful to me in filling those educational gaps. I love how you can break the topic down into manageable pieces and cut straight to the most ‘need to know’ information to take care of patients. I’m not much of a basketball person, but your analogy of the cardiac electrical pathway was so spot on. I’m planning on using it when precepting new grads. Personally, it has been helpful to work through the given situation (like when a patient flips into A Fib RVR) prior to it happening in real life and has made me feel more prepared to handle the situation when it happens on the unit. Thank you so much for doing what you do to help nursing students and RNs alike. I appreciate you.
