ICU nurse Emelia Klocke, MSN RN, left one of my drip charts at her nurses’ station. A few days later... It was taped to the clipboards of experienced RNs and even ended up in the unit educator’s “helpful resources” file. After that, nurses started asking where it came from. Her manager even told them to go ask her. Answer: Breakthrough ICU. Boom, baby! Hearing that made this nurse educator feel amazing. The same feeling when you plan a trip and everyone is having a fabulous time... or you...

Hi there, If you plan to start or continue nursing school this year (at any level), I wanted to ensure you saw this big update 👇 Juno just released their 2025–2026 private student loan rates, and they’re some of the lowest available, starting at just 3.47%. For comparison, most private lenders on the open market are currently advertising starting rates closer to 7–8%. 💡 What does that actually mean? Let’s say you borrow $25,000 and repay it over 10 years: At 3.47%, you’d pay about $4,616 in...

FreshRN | Growing New Nurses If you’re making a final school decision right now (👀 looking at you, May 1 deadlines), and think you’ll need a private student loan… Please don’t just Google and pick the first lender you see.

My partner, Juno, has a free tool that uses group buying power (think:...
