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 found this course to be very helpful to me as a new grad. It pointed out and helped me better understand the important aspects of nursing care for a medsurg patient. I'm already a busy mom of two kids under 12 while navigating through a new career, so I appreciated that this course was self paced without any pressure to complete by a certain deadline.

Been a nurse in SNF for 2 years and would like to go eventually to Med Surg. Giving and receiving report is my weakness since english is not my first language. This course help me to be more calm and not take things personally.

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.

I am an RN with years of experience in Skilled Nursing Facilities and Community-Based Case Management. I hope to eventually work in acute care but I needed a "refresher course" as it's been years since my last clinical rotation at a med-surg/cardiac unit. Having worked as a registry nurse many moons ago, I understand that the shift reporting in my current long-term care environment typically focuses on different aspects of patient care compared to that of a hospital setting. Because of this, I cannot fully express how grateful I am to have recently encountered the Fresh RN podcast, and being able to access Kati's valuable knowledge and perspectives, including her "Nursing Report Basics" and Telemetry programs. They have given me a renewed sense of wellness and positive outlook. Kati is such a great communicator and motivational influence. I intend to enroll in at least one of her nursing package courses soon.

Just finished "Nursing Report Basics." Even as a seasoned nurse, I love these review courses from Kati's perspective--I always pick up something new that I can use. I also appreciate these courses to use with any preceptees and nursing students; it's nice to be reminded of things that newer nurses may be particularly concerned about and that we can help them with.

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.

Kelsey
I went throught the Hired course and wasn't sure at first if it would help. I'm more of a mediocre job interviewee mainly due to nerves during the interview process. I can say without a doubt that this course helped me become more confident during the interview process. I felt like I was more professional as well as able to show them who I am as a nurse during the interview and while job shadowing. Be sure to follow through with a thank you email! My grandpa also told me "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" but I never knew how to do that without looking like I was annoying. This course helped show how while being professional!

I enrolled in this course to help me be more prepared for my new job in the neuro ICU. Although I don’t start until December, I have already had some success! I currently work in the neuro step-down unit. I noticed my patient was still on IVP Dilantin after about 5 days with no history of seizures. I remembered the course said you have a potential risk for seizures if your stroke is in the temporal lobe, but his was in the cerebellum. I brought it up to the CRNP that night and she was appalled that he was getting IVP for no good reason due to its harshness on the veins. She changed it to PO and asked me to follow up with the neurologist in the morning to see if he still wants to continue it. It made me feel really smart and like I did something really awesome for my patient! :) I plan to work on the course some more today, thank you so much for this opportunity!

That was so helpful! I am on day#2 as a new grad on a med-surg floor and I feel like I don't understand anything of what's going on for the pool of patients assigned to my preceptor. I can now see how I can better prepare myself before getting handoff reports with my nurse. I like how you focus on what is crucial. We can so easily get lost into the details. Thank you :)

Hi Kati, I thank God that I found you and the help and encouragement you offer. This was truly an answer to prayer for me! I am learning so much in this course so far, and it has been worth every penny. The breathing techniques have been extremely helpful. I am a little over 2 months into my orientation as a new graduate nurse. Due to covid, I literally had only virtual clinicals and no internship. I was hired in a small rural hospital with only 20 beds on the med/surg unit. I was so full of anxiety, and I wanted so desperately to please everyone around me. I LOVE that you start the course talking about the mental aspects. It is so helpful to know that I'm not alone in the feelings and emotions. It is so hard working through those! The lack of clinical experience has made the experience even more challenging, but my 2 preceptors have been so helpful and gracious with me, and my manager has extended my orientation to 4 months. With your course and the help of my preceptors, I have started to really progress. My biggest struggles right now are admitting patients and starting IVs successfully. I am so grateful to you that you have so selflessly shared your own struggles and mistakes to help me and many new nurses. Thank you so much for your kindness! ~ Theresa

This course does make me feel more prepared for a soon-to-start med surg job because I certainly missed a lot about how hospitals run during clinicals.

This course fills a gap in the new nurse education market. It’s insider knowledge that I didn’t get from my preceptors. Also, being able to play or listen to areas multiple times was really useful to me. I use as a refresher when I haven’t seen a particular case or dx in awhile.
Feb 2, 2023
Joy Murphy
I found the course very helpful to my newbie nurse practice especially after losing time in clinical from COVID during school. My orientation was very quick paced and having the time away from patient care to properly digest and review important material was key to developing my confidence and skills. The emotional support and normalizing of how stressful those early months can feel was good for me to have a realistic perspective on where I should be, and to not hold myself to crazy standards. Being able to take that deeper dive and have a better understanding of the types of patients I may care for, and how to organize myself was invaluable. Thank you!

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!

Andrea Hoang
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!

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!

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.

Cathleen
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.

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.

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.

Sarah Duran, BSN-RN
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!
Mar 30, 2023
Sarah
This course was incredibly informative and the resources are so easy to use and reference again and again. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that I had to stop the videos multiple times and go back because the pace of the presentation was SO fast. It's hard to process such dense information at such a fast pace. But overall, very helpful. Thank you.

ICU Drips for Beginners was a great introductory course to learning about the common drips used in the ICU. I appreciate that rationale of why it may be necessary to administer some of these meds utilizing central vascular access and the tips that go along with handling the responsibility using them. What's most beneficial to this course are the bonus material that will definitely be of use to me on the floor. I am new to the ICU and I am grateful that I have found such a "Fresh" resource that keeps learning an enjoyable experience.

Tomorrow I begin a new position on a MS Tele floor. I have been a nurse for quite a few years, but due to some pretty crazy things I have only worked in a clinic (triage phone nurse, minimal direct patient care) and a year in a county jail (my best job thus far!!) I am lacking in detailed clinical skills that I learned many years ago in nursing school, so in addition to the tele course I am enrolled in the med-surg mindset, and am so thankful for it! This telemetry basics brush-up gives me great ideas of questions to ask my new preceptor, and a beautiful introduction to the world of telemetry that I am walking into. Instead of being overwhelmed by the monitors and questions I will have, I am grateful for a frame of reference and foundational understanding of the reason for their monitors, what kinds of things I will want to keep track of and chart for the purpose of communication with the providers, etc. I am grateful and, if/when I reach my dream of being an ICU nurse (specifically neurocritical care d/t a severe TBI I sustained in 2012!!) I will be enrolling in further courses from Fresh RN! I am so thankful for this resource!

I have been a nurse for 3 years but will be new to the ortho/trauma unit next week. I wanted to get an idea of what my patient population would look like and relevant nursing considerations, etc. I feel like I got that and more! Loved having the point of view from a seasoned nurse/educator and an advanced practitioner in this specialty. Both perspectives were extremely valuable! And I'm leaving this course feeling less nervous, more prepared, and more excited about starting my new position in ortho/trauma. Thank you so much! I will absolutely purchase more courses from you in the future!

Anjeleka Garnett
Starting in the ICU was a terrifying step for me. I had always wanted to work in the ICU but the concepts and skills around that were very scary for me. This course helped to soften the blow of the complexity of the ICU environment, helped me learn to be compassionate towards myself and reminded me that it's okay to not know things. I cannot recommend this course enough, not just for new graduates but nurses at all ages and stages moving into the ICU for the first time.

Lora Montgomery
Master Class has been EVERYTHING that I needed to prove that I can do this, and I deserve to be the great nurse that I know I can be (and realizing that I can give myself grace for my learning curve). Now, six months into my role as an acute rehabilitation nurse, having floated many times to med-surg, spine, and the ortho departments, I am well on my way and path of my dream nursing position. Fine-tuning my desire to search out my dream job (where ever this leads me) as an acute care hospital nurse. Not just this but, I feel as though I have great co-worker friends who absolutely love working with me, management that sees potential in me and most importantly, I have my confidence to traverse this next phase of my dream career. Thank you so very much FreshRN for being a HUGE part of my success!

I have just been able to more confidently and accurately explain neuro conditions to patients and family as they experience their stay in the ICU.

This course gave me the information I needed to sound confident in my unit about basic concepts and the courage to ask questions about what I didn't understand! I'm able to communicate more effectively with my neurosurgeons and feel much more equipped to give them the information they are looking for when they round! It's been such a confidence booster for me right off of orientation - I am so thankful for the work you do for all us baby nurses!! It is 150% worth it - I've told every single new grad on my unit about it since I was hired!
Feb 1, 2023

I was new to the Neuro world and was not as confident with my assessments and knowledge, until I found your program! It gave me the information I needed to detect even the slightest changes and changed the way I viewed assessments. Each one matters when it comes to Neuro. Thank you.

I recommend joining, it is a kind, supportive group. I wanted to find a community of diverse nurses interested in furthering education and being a resource for each other. Working in a small rural health center, it was important to me to reach beyond my immediate area. Good to know the resource is and will be available. Good to dip into topics that are outside my area of practice.

The content is so helpful to new grad nurses, especially those going into critical care or the ICU. They will feel supported and feel like they are a little more confident going into a shift. Thank you for all you are doing to support new nurses. Your content is not fluffy, it’s straightforward and the closest to the reality of nursing. In school they always talk about being assertive, but then do not have practical solutions or “how to's”. I think you do a great job in going through the processes and what to actually say to be assertive. I appreciate you!

Last week I had to debrief a pt's nurse and tech after a preventable fall. The guidance in the Managing Personalities chapter had given me some preparation for working through the situation with them in a direct, non-confrontational way despite anticipated push back and blame shifting. I feel it was particularly noteworthy because they have very different personalities, especially in response to negative events. Together we were able to come up with several alternate actions that could have been taken to prevent that fall that could be carried forward to other patients.

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 found this course to be very helpful to me as a new grad. It pointed out and helped me better understand the important aspects of nursing care for a medsurg patient.

I am an RN with years of experience in Skilled Nursing Facilities and Community-Based Case Management. I hope to eventually work in acute care but I needed a "refresher course" as it's been years since my last clinical rotation at a med-surg/cardiac unit. Having worked as a registry nurse many moons ago, I understand that the shift reporting in my current long-term care environment typically focuses on different aspects of patient care compared to that of a hospital setting. Because of this, I cannot fully express how grateful I am to have recently encountered the Fresh RN podcast, and being able to access Kati's valuable knowledge and perspectives, including her "Nursing Report Basics" and Telemetry programs. They have given me a renewed sense of wellness and positive outlook. Kati is such a great communicator and motivational influence.

I went throught the Hired course and wasn't sure at first if it would help. I'm more of a mediocre job interviewee mainly due to nerves during the interview process. I can say without a doubt that this course helped me become more confident during the interview process. I felt like I was more professional as well as able to show them who I am as a nurse during the interview and while job shadowing. Be sure to follow through with a thank you email! My grandpa also told me "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" but I never knew how to do that without looking like I was annoying. This course helped show how while being professional!

I enrolled in this course to help me be more prepared for my new job in the neuro ICU. Although I don’t start until December, I have already had some success! I currently work in the neuro step-down unit. I noticed my patient was still on IVP Dilantin after about 5 days with no history of seizures. I remembered the course said you have a potential risk for seizures if your stroke is in the temporal lobe, but his was in the cerebellum. I brought it up to the CRNP that night and she was appalled that he was getting IVP for no good reason due to its harshness on the veins. She changed it to PO and asked me to follow up with the neurologist in the morning to see if he still wants to continue it. It made me feel really smart and like I did something really awesome for my patient! :) I plan to work on the course some more today, thank you so much for this opportunity!

That was so helpful! I am on day#2 as a new grad on a med-surg floor and I feel like I don't understand anything of what's going on for the pool of patients assigned to my preceptor. I can now see how I can better prepare myself before getting handoff reports with my nurse. I like how you focus on what is crucial. We can so easily get lost into the details. Thank you :)

Hi Kati, I thank God that I found you and the help and encouragement you offer. This was truly an answer to prayer for me! I am learning so much in this course so far, and it has been worth every penny. The breathing techniques have been extremely helpful. I am a little over 2 months into my orientation as a new graduate nurse. Due to covid, I literally had only virtual clinicals and no internship. I was hired in a small rural hospital with only 20 beds on the med/surg unit. I was so full of anxiety, and I wanted so desperately to please everyone around me. I LOVE that you start the course talking about the mental aspects. It is so helpful to know that I'm not alone in the feelings and emotions. It is so hard working through those! The lack of clinical experience has made the experience even more challenging, but my 2 preceptors have been so helpful and gracious with me, and my manager has extended my orientation to 4 months. With your course and the help of my preceptors, I have started to really progress. My biggest struggles right now are admitting patients and starting IVs successfully. I am so grateful to you that you have so selflessly shared your own struggles and mistakes to help me and many new nurses. Thank you so much for your kindness! ~ Theresa

This course does make me feel more prepared for a soon-to-start med surg job because I certainly missed a lot about how hospitals run during clinicals.

This course fills a gap in the new nurse education market. It’s insider knowledge that I didn’t get from my preceptors. Also, being able to play or listen to areas multiple times was really useful to me. I use as a refresher when I haven’t seen a particular case or dx in awhile.

I found the course very helpful to my newbie nurse practice especially after losing time in clinical from COVID during school. My orientation was very quick paced and having the time away from patient care to properly digest and review important material was key to developing my confidence and skills. The emotional support and normalizing of how stressful those early months can feel was good for me to have a realistic perspective on where I should be, and to not hold myself to crazy standards. Being able to take that deeper dive and have a better understanding of the types of patients I may care for, and how to organize myself was invaluable. Thank you!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
