  • What I Would Do Differently If I Could Go Back to Day 1 of Nursing School

    What I Would Do Differently If I Could Go Back to Day 1 of Nursing School

    · The FreshRN Podcast with Kati Kleber

    If I could hop in a time machine and redo my journey to becoming a nurse, knowing what I know now... I’d take a very different path (and spend a lot less money). In this episode, I’m walking you through what I actually did: From changing majors to juggling basketball and nursing school, and what I’d do differently if I could go back.

    We’ll talk about:

    ✅ Why I wish I’d started as a CNA in high school

    ✅ How going the ADN route first could’ve saved me thousands

    ✅ What I learned about tuition reimbursement and scholarships the hard way

    ✅ The importance of progress over perfection when planning your nursing path

    Plus, I’ll share some encouragement for anyone stuck in decision paralysis, trying to figure out their next step. Your nursing journey doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth it, and there are so many smart, affordable ways to get where you want to go.

  • Your Hospital Is Not Your Mom: Detaching Emotionally From Your Employer

    Your Hospital Is Not Your Mom: Detaching Emotionally From Your Employer

    · The FreshRN Podcast with Kati Kleber

    Ok that title might be a little spicy, but stick with me. In this episode, I discuss why so many of us over-identify with our roles, how “we’re a family” culture keeps us stuck, and what learned helplessness looks like at the bedside. We’ll also talk about the sneaky way suffering becomes a badge of honor, and how to step out of that martyr mindset.

  • The Identity Crisis of the People-Pleasing RN

    The Identity Crisis of the People-Pleasing RN

    · The FreshRN Podcast with Kati Kleber

    In this episode, we’re diving into what happens when perfectionism collides with the messy, high-pressure reality of nursing. If you’ve ever felt like your entire identity is wrapped up in being the “good nurse” ... you know, the one who never messes up, never says no, and always holds it together, this conversation is for you.

    We’ll talk about:

    How nursing school subtly wires us for people-pleasing Why high-pressure roles make us more vulnerable to shame Why self-compassion (not shame) is the key to confidence and performance What to do when you disappoint someone—and how to recover with integrity

    Nursing School Curriculum Explained: How Educators Choose What You Learn

    · The FreshRN Podcast with Kati Kleber

    In this episode, I interviews Dr. Kelly J. Dries, Ph.D., RN, Director of Nursing Program Success at Wolters Kluwer Health. As a former dean of a nursing school, Dr. Dries shares:

    Her educational journey from someone telling her she'd never make it in nursing school, all the way to her PhD How nursing schools decide what their curriculum will look like The (sometimes sutble but important) differences between programs Smart questions to ask about the schools you're considering Advice and encouragement

    Money-Saving Tip: Private student loans tend to have higher rates and stricter terms compared to federal options. That’s why it’s smart to shop around. Services like Juno let you tap into group-negotiated loan rates, sometimes cutting interest by up to 4%.

    Is a DNP Worth It? Options, Reality, and Regret-Proofing

    · The FreshRN Podcast with Kati Kleber

    Thinking about going back to school to earn your Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) but feeling overwhelmed by what it actually means? In this episode, I break down what the DNP is, who it’s for, how it compares to an MSN or PhD, and share perspectives from DNP and DNAP-prepared nurses.

    I outline:

    What the DNP really is (and how it’s different from a PhD) Why some nurses pursue it, and others don’t The difference between a DNP and a DNAP What to expect from a DNP program (time, cost, and the infamous DNP project) How to reverse-engineer your decision based on your future goals

They use group buying power to negotiate lower rates for borrowers, often beating standard offers by 1–2%. It’s free to sign up with zero committment, and it could mean major savings down the road.

    I have been keeping my eye on NCLEX prep products for at least a decade and because of this, I maintain a checklist of features that make a program superior. I know a good one when I see one, what a reasonable price looks like, and what really moves the needle.

    In this episode, I explain my top three in detail. I would 10/10 use any of these if I were studying for the NCLEX again. (But thank GOSH I don't have to do that!)

  • Breaking Down the Myths About Online Nursing Degrees: An Interview With Chamberlain University's President

    Breaking Down the Myths About Online Nursing Degrees: An Interview With Chamberlain University's President

    · The FreshRN Podcast with Kati Kleber

    Are online nursing degrees respected? Do employers take them seriously? What about clinicals and accreditation? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Karen Cox, President of Chamberlain University—the largest nursing school in the U.S.—to tackle the most common misconceptions about online nursing education.

    We cover things like:

    The evolution of online RN, BSN, and grad programs How online clinicals actually work What accreditation means and why it’s non-negotiable How employers view online degrees Confidence-building advice for nurses at every career stage

    We even discuss her career path from LPN to PhD! (Yes, just took every step in between: LPN, ADN, BSN, MSN, and finally PhD!) So, if you're interested in an online program or if you're curious about the path of a PhD-prepared RN, this episode is for you.

    New FreshRN freebie alert! I created a workbook to help you compare nursing schools (at any level) + track costs + map out your best path. Get it at no cost at https://www.freshrn.com/planner/

    Don't overpay for student loans, people. After you max out your school's financial aid package and select your federal loans, most people have to take out private loans to bridge the gap. Make sure you're getting the best interest rate possible because even just 1-2% more can cost thousands over the lifetime of the loan. My new partner, Juno, uses group bargaining power to get lower interest rates, as much as 4% below market rates.

In this episode, I break down what an MSN actually is (and what it isn’t), the difference between clinical and non-clinical paths, and how to choose a program that aligns with your goals, not just what seems affordable or popular. You’ll learn: What an MSN really means (and why it’s not a job title) The difference between clinical MSN paths (like NP and CNS) vs. non-clinical paths (like education or leadership) What an APRN is, and how licensure + certification work Common program formats, including direct-entry, competency-based, and post-master’s certificates How to reverse-engineer your education based on the career you actually want Why clarity now can save you time, money, and frustration later Free Resource: Download my Nursing School Planner to compare programs, track costs, and reflect on your long-term goals → FreshRN.com/planner Read the full blog post: https://www.freshrn.com/msn-programs/ Want more support and clarity?
