    I have been listening to Rapid Response RN with Sarah for about 2 1/2 years now on my way to work and I can definitely see an improvement in my nursing knowledge that I’ve been able to apply in the clinical settings. Thank you so much, Sarah. You make me look smart!

  • A role model

    As a nursing student, I look for qualities in RN’s that I aspire to emulate. I have learned so many valuable lessons from Sarah and her podcast! An example of an episode that made a big impression on me is the one where she talks about kindness. She’s not just an AMAZING source for clinical insights, but she’s an example of how to carry oneself , lead, and be a positive change maker. So glad a classmate recommended this podcast to me!
