Don’t Miss a Beat on Nurse.org

👋 Hello Colleague,

This week’s newsletter dives into one of the biggest decisions in a nursing career: choosing where to go to school. We’re sharing our updated guide to The Best Nursing Schools in the U.S. for 2026, along with resources on How to Become a Public Health Nurse and a breakdown of the Shortest Online NP Programs for those looking to advance faster.

In nursing news, we’re covering stories that range from headline-making to career-impacting—including a Nurse Who Got Married During Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, Nurses Chasing Gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, and the Joint Commission officially Debunking the “No Drinks at the Nurses’ Station” Myth. We’re also following the latest on the Expanding Kaiser Strike, as more healthcare workers prepare to walk out alongside nurses.

Finally, we’re streaming two new powerful podcast conversations—one highlighting Nurses Leading Hurricane Relief Efforts on Nurse Converse, and another exploring Why Nursing Is Inherently Political on the Love n’ Leary Nursing Podcast.

As always, thank you for being part of the Nurse.org community!
