πŸ‘‹ Hello Colleague,

This week, we’re bringing you the nursing stories shaping conversations across our network right now β€” from education and career planning to federal policy changes every nurse should know about.


First up, if advancing your education is on your radar, we’ve ranked the Top 10 Online BSN Programs and the Top PMHNP Specialties for 2026, breaking down flexible, accredited options designed for busy nurses ready to level up. We’re also diving into two major legislative developments making waves across the profession: the Federal 24/7 RN Staffing Mandate for Nursing Homes Eliminated by the Trump Administration, and the CDC’s ACIP Revamping the Infant Hep B Vaccination Schedule, with frontline nurses weighing in on what it means in practice.


Finally, if you’re looking for something to stream on your commute or break, we’ve got a brand-new Club Nurse podcast. Colton sits down with Nelson Hurtado to discuss How Foreign-Educated Nurses Can Work In the U.S., offering insights and real-world guidance nurses are already talking about.


Hope you are having a great week!


– The Nurse.org Team πŸ’œ


P.S. There’s still time to join Nurse.org’s Annual Holiday Gift-A-Way! We’re giving away 100+ prizes from top nursing brands and creators as our way of saying thank you for everything you do. 🎁
