Katelyn

RN, BSN, CCRN, CFRN, EMT-P, I/C

Katelyn is a flight nurse and educator whose background spans adult ICU, pediatric ICU, and critical care transport. She regularly manages ventilators, advanced hemodynamic therapies, CRRT, ECMO, and complex shock states across a wide variety of patient populations.

In addition to bedside practice, Katelyn presents at regional and national conferences and participates in outreach education for healthcare providers. She has a natural ability to translate complicated physiology into practical bedside assessment—connecting monitor changes, lab trends, and physical exam findings into a clear clinical picture.

Katelyn is especially dedicated to helping newer ICU nurses develop confidence early in their careers. Her goal is to make difficult concepts understandable and to help learners recognize that critical care is not random — it is predictable when you understand the physiology.

Chad

RN, BSN, CCRN, CFRN, CEN, NRP

Chad is a critical care flight nurse who manages some of the highest-acuity transports across neonatal, pediatric, and adult populations. In transport medicine, decisions happen fast and often with incomplete information. Over time, he developed a reputation for calm problem-solving in situations where plans collapse and physiology becomes unpredictable.

Before flight nursing, Chad worked in emergency departments, adult ICUs, cardiovascular ICUs, and pediatric intensive care, giving him a rare perspective on how patients evolve from first presentation to critical illness. He now helps train new transport clinicians and contributes to developing clinical practice guidelines.

His teaching focuses on clinical judgment—not memorizing treatments, but knowing which treatment matters right now and why. He is particularly passionate about helping clinicians learn how to think clearly when time pressure and uncertainty are at their highest.

Sandra

RN, BSN, RRT, EMT-P, CCRN, CFRN

Sandra’s career uniquely bridges respiratory therapy, paramedicine, pediatric ICU nursing, and flight medicine. She has extensive experience with advanced ventilator management, nitric oxide therapy, ECMO support, trauma care, and multisystem organ failure.

Her deep foundation in pulmonary physiology makes her particularly skilled at recognizing respiratory deterioration early and understanding how breathing problems quickly affect the heart, brain, and circulation. She has long been involved in education, teaching airway management, lung physiology, and simulation-based training for both hospital and prehospital clinicians.

Sandra’s teaching centers on anticipation. She helps learners understand not only what a patient is doing, but what the patient is about to do—a skill that often determines whether a situation stays controlled or becomes an emergency.

Jen

RN, EMT-P, CCRN (Adult & Pediatric), CFRN

Jen brings more than 30 years of critical care experience, including over two decades in pediatric intensive care and current practice as a flight nurse caring for patients across the entire age spectrum.

 She has spent her career teaching, mentoring, and guiding clinicians through high-risk situations.
She has educated nurses and prehospital providers in pediatric airway management, medication dosing, and scenario-based problem solving, and has helped implement safety systems and staff education programs in critical care settings.

Jen is known for her steady, methodical approach. Her teaching emphasizes early recognition—noticing the small changes that occur before a patient crashes. She helps learners develop a systematic way of assessing patients so that uncertainty becomes organized thinking instead of panic.

Alyssa

RN, BSN, M.Ed., EMT-P, I/C, CCRN, CFRN, CEN, NRP

Alyssa is a critical care nurse educator and former flight nurse whose career has taken her through pediatric, cardiovascular surgical, and adult medical ICUs. She now leads education in a high-acuity medical ICU, where she designs hands-on training, case-based learning, and simulation experiences focused on one goal: helping nurses think, not just react.

Her transport background means she learned medicine in environments where there is no rapid response team down the hall and no time to “look it up.” Managing ventilators, vasoactive infusions, and complex physiology mid-transport taught her that memorized facts fail quickly when a patient stops following the textbook.

Alyssa teaches physiology as a story you can follow—why a patient is deteriorating, what will happen next, and how to intervene before it does. Her passion is helping nurses recognize patterns, anticipate complications, and feel in control of situations that once felt chaotic.

Our Vision

To develop confident critical care nurses by teaching the physiological mechanisms that turn medical knowledge into clinical reasoning.
We share our passion for sharing knowledge with nurses from all walks of life. All our courses are created based on 3 core principles:
  • Understanding Before Memorization
  • Education Built for Real Clinical Life
  • Clinical Reasoning as the Ultimate Goal
