👋 Hello Colleague,

A new year brings new opportunities and new challenges. Whether you’re setting career goals, navigating policy changes, or just easing back into routine after the holidays, we’re here to help you start 2026 informed and confident.

This week’s newsletter focuses on where nursing is headed and how you can prepare. We’re highlighting the Best MSN Programs for Every Specialty, breaking down Top Pre-Nursing Programs for 2026, and unpacking major headlines shaping the profession—from Nursing Home Staffing Rule Rollbacks to the Rising Costs of Travel Nurses and How Nurse Practitioners are Rethinking Care Delivery.

We’re also mixing in new perspectives and personality in 2026, with our January Nurse Horoscopes, a candid take on Lifetime’s Latest Nursing Drama, and a new 6-part podcast series with Emory University helping nurses lead, negotiate, and innovate in their career, starting with: Keys to Cultivating Your Power and Unlocking the Power of Persuasion.

Here’s to a year of growth, clarity, and continued advocacy for the profession that does it all.
