Nursing School Doesn’t Prepare You for the Floor. This Course Does. 👇 Find out how 👇
Dear Future Nurse, If you’ve ever sat in class feeling like everyone else gets it but you... If you freeze during skills check-offs… Or you’re already in clinicals but second-guessing everything you do... You are not alone — and you don’t have to feel like this anymore. Hi, I’m Kiri Ross, RN and creator of Nursing Nerds. I created this course because I remember how hard it was to feel confident as a student nurse. The textbooks were overwhelming. The labs didn’t always make sense. And nobody really taught us how to think like a nurse. 💡 That’s why I built the Nursing Fundamentals Course I’ve taken the most critical concepts from textbooks and clinical guidelines, cut out all the fluff, and focused only on what’s essential. This course is designed to make your learning easy, concise, and directly applicable to real-world nursing practice. You’ll learn: ✔️ The ABCDE approach to assessment ✔️ How to recognise and respond to a deteriorating patient ✔️ Clear communication in emergencies ✔️ Managing respiratory failure and oxygen therapy ✔️ Core case studies: Sepsis, hypovolemic shock, type 1 respiratory failure ✔️ Fundamentals of diabetes care & insulin administration ✔️ Safe medication practices — no more med-pass panic ✔️ Real-life clinical thinking, not just theory 🎁 BONUS ACCESS And as a bonus, when you join the course, you’ll also get access to our private Nurse Network — a supportive space where you can ask questions, get real feedback from our nurse educators, and connect with other students who totally get what you’re going through. You’re not doing this alone — we’ve got your back.

Hi, my name's Kiri. My own path from a student to a qualified intensive care nurse and educator has been a transformative journey of dedication and growth. But it wasn’t always easy! As a student nurse, I vividly remember the countless hours spent pouring over dry textbooks and dense university resources, longing for something more accessible and enjoyable. This frustration ignited the spark that led to the creation of Nursing Nerds. I believe that learning should be exciting, not daunting, and our platform is designed to offer nursing students a refreshing approach to studying.
