👋 Hello Colleague,

As the holidays approach, we want to wish you a peaceful, joyful, and well-deserved holiday season. Whether you’re on shift or enjoying time off, thank you for everything you do for your patients and communities.

This week’s lineup focuses on what’s next for nursing—beginning with our Top Master’s in Nursing (MSN) Programs for 2026 to help you plan your next career move with confidence. We’re also diving into major nursing headlines, from Lawmakers Pushing to Add Nursing to the List of Professional Degrees to Nurse-Led Innovation and ongoing concerns around Nurse Educator Pay and Home Health Nurse Safety.

Plus, don’t miss two new podcasts: one on Building Confidence During High-Stress Codes on Club Nurse, and Finding Purpose and Creativity Beyond the Bedside on Nurse Converse.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday and a healthy start to the new year,

– The Nurse.org Team 🎄
