Wall of love for FreshRN Courses

[NURSING REPORT BASICS] 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.

[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!

In response to a feedback survey, an anonymous student confirmed that 'Neuro Wise' covered the right amount of material, was beneficial, and was worth more than they paid!

[HIRED] For me it was life changing, I used to commit a lot of these mistakes without knowing... was super helpful. Particularly the resume templates, and all the videos with question and answers.

[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!

[NURSING SKILLS REFRESH] Real world examples and tips from experienced nurses. It was very interactive, fun with the equipment and environment similar to that of the hospital. Great for nursing students and new grads.

This was a very thorough course for a new RN like me who started on a med-surg floor. I appreciated the great detail that went into making this course. I loved the handouts and will continue to use them in the future for quick reference.

[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.

[HIRED] This course was amazing, I'm a foreign nurse, and I was looking for my first job after passed the nclex, and I could recognize a lot of mistakes that I used to do while I was looking for jobs in my country. I learned a lot in every meaning, super grateful, and of course, I got the job!! Thank you so much 🙌😊

[NURSING REPORT BASICS] Great review of taking and giving report and how to deal with the RN's whom you are giving report

[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 🙂

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Where to start, the teacher, the content, the delivery... everything was awesome. Thanks for being so passionate about what you do and being so willing to share your knowledge, in a way that is really accessible. It's an excellent course and I hope you get to take far and wide.

I would 100% recommend Breakthrough ICU. 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!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Helped review the simple stuff to provide a greater understanding- many multiple little moments where I understood what was ordered and why- esp so I could better explain to patients.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] The portion of the lessons regarding maintaining boundaries were extremely helpful in providing me with confidence and validation when working alongside my colleagues and providers.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] It kept me humble knowing it takes years to perfect your craft as an ICU nurse!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] I think I liked it because it made me feel like I was able to take my learning into my own hands. I felt I had done as much as I could to prepare for the transition.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] I could not wait to finish this course (in a good way). My orientation was going fast and this Breakthrough ICU course gave me so much needed information that was somewhat lacking from my orientation at work. This course exceeded my expectations. It took me longer than 6 weeks, but I made sure to finish all the way through because it is so beneficial. This course touches on EVERYTHING an ICU Nurse will need. Amazing. I am grateful. Now I have more confidence and can go be great. Thank You! Thank you! Thank you.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Super helpful to have this content alongside my new grad program. I really appreciated the weekly worksheets and things like the "common ICU drips" list. This really helped keep me focused and learning on my days off.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Loved this course! I learned a lot! Wish there were more photos, case studies, and practice questions! I would recommend this course to other new ICU nurses!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Loved the course and will keep referring back to it week by week of orientation! I would love more photos and videos though! Thank you!

[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?

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Great course to get exposure to new medications, processes, machines and protocols that will be found in the ICU. I appreciated the brevity, but at the same time I would more in depth look into how the medications work. I really enjoyed the focus on emotional coping and growth. It is a very overwhelming and intimidating unit. The reminder that this will be a process has been very helpful.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] Great and simplified content that is easy to follow for someone who has recently switched from medsurg to critical care nursing.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] For how complex critical care is, this course taught me in the most SIMPLISTIC way. This was such a great class to get down to the basics of how ICU works. So grateful and recommending this course to every new ICU nurse/grad I know!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] This course not only made things easier to understand, but also helped to ease a lot of my anxiety going into critical care as a new grad. I felt that my challenging emotions as a new grad were validated, and this was a safe place to learn and ask questions.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] I feel like this course helped me familiarize topics that I would be exposed to in ICU. I feel more confident in my abilities to navigate in the ICU.

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] This course was amazing and really helped with a good base to walk in looking less like a deer in headlights! Anything that flew straight over my head I listened to after I experienced it on the floor, and it helped solidify what I was learning in practice!

[BREAKTHROUGH ICU] This course solidified my understanding from nursing school and gave me a head start at my first ICU position.

[MED-SURG MINDSET] This is the BEST online course I've taken. I was working as a psych nurse (international graduate). I recently got a job as a med-surg nurse so I was looking for online course or material which could help me in my new role. I found this one and It was exactly what I needed. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lotttttt from it. The content is well organized and focused on practical situations. I highly recommend it!!!!!!!

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

[MED-SURG MINDSET] 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.

[NURSING REPORT BASICS] 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.

[NURSING REPORT BASICS & TELEMETRY BASICS] 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.

[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 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.
