FAQ

Your Questions, Answered—Clearly and Honestly

Start Here

I am new here. Where do I start?
Start with the free Career Clarity tool on the Start Here page. It shows you the season you are in and the direction that fits it, whether that is the Academy, Jet Set Nurse, the community, or a book from the shop. From there, every path stays inside one home: Stronger Nurse University on Skool.
Who is behind Stronger Nurse?
Stronger Nurse was founded by Ashley Asberry, a registered nurse with more than 15 years at the bedside, including years as a travel nurse. Everything here is built from that lived experience, in three movements: Reclaim, Root, and Rise.

Jet Set Nurse

What is Jet Set Nurse and who is it for?
Jet Set Nurse is the travel nursing program inside Stronger Nurse University on Skool. It is for staff nurses thinking about traveling, new travelers preparing for a first assignment, and experienced travelers who want to read contracts, taxes, and pay with clear eyes. If you want travel nursing done with soul and strategy, it was built for you.
What does the Jet Set Nurse curriculum cover?
Three courses carry the program. Foundations masters the lifestyle: how travel nursing really works, specialties, finding and landing assignments, safety on the road, and money basics. Strategy makes it a career: decoding and negotiating contracts, validating your tax home, pay structures, and building long term wealth and freedom on your terms. The Strike Nursing Edition teaches strike nursing with courage and clarity: strike contracts and pay, staying stable during a strike, and what comes after, with the Jet Set Strike Nursing Navigator built in. The courses are a choice, not a sequence, so you start where your season says. Each course is purchased on its own, and Strategy does not require Foundations first.
Is Jet Set Nurse accredited? Can I earn CEUs?
No. Jet Set Nurse is not ANCC accredited, and it does not offer CEUs or contact hours for license renewal. Accreditation is on hold at Stronger Nurse, so please do not enroll expecting contact hours. Nurses join for the practical education itself: contracts, taxes, safety, and the career strategy no one teaches.
How much does Jet Set Nurse cost?
Foundations is $297 and Strategy is $497, each a one time payment, and there are no payment plans at this time. The Strike Nursing Edition course is $297. The companion book, Jet Set Nurse: Travel Nursing with Strategy and Soul, is $28 as an eBook and $14 as an audiobook, and the Strike Nursing eBook is $34 in the shop. Full details live on the Jet Set Nurse page.
How is Jet Set Nurse delivered? Is it self-paced?
Jet Set Nurse is delivered inside Stronger Nurse University on Skool and is self-paced, so you learn on your schedule, between shifts. Your purchase also places you with fellow travel nurses in the Jet Set Crew room, where assignments, contracts, and road life are talked through together.
I have never done travel nursing. Will this help me get my first assignment?
Yes, that is exactly who Foundations was built for. It walks you from deciding whether travel fits your life, through specialties and agencies, to landing and starting your first assignment with your eyes open. You will know what to ask before you ever sign.
How does Jet Set Nurse help me with taxes and pay?
Strategy teaches you to validate your tax home, read a pay package line by line, and spot what agencies leave out of the fine print. The free Contract Clarity Tool on this site is the same approach in miniature: decode the pay, the tax home, and the signature before you sign. Jet Set goes the whole distance with you.
What about safety? I am nervous about traveling alone?
You are not alone in that, and the program treats safety as a core skill, not an afterthought. Foundations covers situational awareness in new cities, housing and hotel security, and building your support systems on the road. The Jet Set Crew community means you also travel with nurses who have been where you are going.
There are no reviews yet. How do I know it is worth it?
That is a fair question, and the honest answer is that Jet Set Nurse is new, so there are no student testimonials to show you yet. What you can judge today is the teaching itself: start with the free Contract Clarity Tool and the Jet Set Nurse page, and let the quality of the free work speak for the paid work.
How is this different from free travel nursing resources online?
Free resources give you fragments: a video here, a forum thread there, often posted by agencies with something to sell you. Jet Set Nurse is one complete system built by a nurse, in order, covering the lifestyle and the career, with a community walking it with you. Nothing here is sponsored by an agency.

Stronger Nurse Academy

What is Stronger Nurse Academy and who is it for?
The Academy is the career library inside Stronger Nurse University on Skool, built for every season of nursing. Nursing students and new graduates use it to choose a specialty with clear eyes, early career nurses use it to find their footing, and experienced nurses use it to grow into advanced practice, specialty changes, and new directions. Every lesson is competency based and written to speak to you, not at you. Licensed nurses and students are both at home here. Aspiring nurses have their own room and pathways inside the University, and if you are deciding whether nursing or a specialty is right for you, start with the free Career Clarity tool.
Is Stronger Nurse Academy accredited? Will I earn CEUs?
No. The Academy is not ANCC accredited, and its courses do not offer CEUs for license renewal. Accreditation is on hold at Stronger Nurse, so please do not enroll expecting contact hours. Nurses learn here for the career clarity and competence itself.
How much does Stronger Nurse Academy cost?
The Academy is included in Stronger Nurse University membership, which starts at $8 a month for the Academy tier. There are no per course charges inside the membership, and you can cancel anytime. Membership details live on the Academy page.
How long does a course take? Is it self-paced?
Everything is self-paced and built in short, bite size lessons that fit around real shifts. There are no deadlines and no cohorts to keep up with, so a lesson can be one quiet sitting or one full study day. Your progress is saved inside Skool as you go.
What topics and career pathways does the Academy cover?
The Academy covers the clinical specialties in depth, including Medical Surgical, Emergency, ICU, Labor and Delivery, Pediatrics, and Perioperative care, plus Advanced Practice pathways. It also carries the career courses nurses ask for most, including Career Clarity and decision making, Pre-Nursing foundations, and planning your next move with intention. New lessons are added as the library grows.
Will I receive a certificate or credential?
The Academy is built for competence you can feel at the bedside and in your career decisions. It is not a credentialing program, and it does not replace your license, degree, or employer training. If you need a record of completion for your employer, send us a message and we will tell you exactly what we can provide.
What kind of support will I receive?
You learn inside a community, not alone. Members ask questions in the Stronger Nurse University rooms, learn from live guidance and member conversations, and can bring career decisions to nurses who have stood where you are standing. Ashley teaches and answers inside the community herself.
How is this different from other nursing CE or career programs?
Most programs teach clinical tasks and stop there. The Academy is built around the questions nursing school never answered: which specialty fits your life, how to read a contract, how to recover from burnout, how to rise without losing yourself. It is career formation, taught by a nurse, inside a community that sees you.
What if a course is not right for me? Is there a refund policy?
Memberships can be canceled anytime and run through the end of the billing cycle. For a course purchase, every situation is a little different, so send us a message through the Contact page and we will give you a clear answer for yours. We would rather answer you directly than have you guess from a policy paragraph.

Community: Stronger Nurse University

What is Stronger Nurse University and who is it for?
Stronger Nurse University is the paid community home of Stronger Nurse, hosted on Skool. It is for nurses in every season, students, new graduates, staff nurses, travelers, and advanced practice, who want to be seen, heard, and validated while they grow. The Academy library, the Jet Set Nurse courses, and the SAFE trainings all live under this one roof.
How do I join, and what does screened for community fit mean?
You join from the Academy page, and every membership is screened for fit before it is approved. That simply means Ashley personally checks that you are a nurse or nursing student who is here to grow and to treat others well. It keeps the rooms safe, honest, and free of selling and noise.
What are the membership tiers?
Tier 1 is the Academy at $8 a month, with the full Academy course library and community rooms. Tier 2 is Premium at $18 a month, which adds the SAFE digital safety trainings and deeper programming. Tier 3, VIP at $28 a month, is not open yet. There is no free tier, because the screening and the depth inside are the point.
What does membership include, and what is purchased separately?
Membership includes the full Academy course library and the community itself, and Premium adds the SAFE trainings. Jet Set Nurse is purchased separately, because it is a full career program: Foundations at $297, Strategy at $497, and the Strike Nursing Edition course at $297, each a one time payment, and once you own a course it sits right beside your membership inside Skool. The four SAFE ebooks are $18 each in the shop, or $58 bundled, for nurses who prefer to learn in print first.
What happens inside the community?
Members gather in rooms by season and focus: Reclaim Yourself, Root Yourself, Rise Yourself, Nurse Ashley's Corner, the Jet Set Crew, and Aspiring Nurses. There are member celebrations, live guidance, course discussions, and daily encouragement from nurses walking the same road. It is built so no nurse in it feels unseen. Members are also celebrated out loud in the Stronger Nurse Spotlight: milestones, wins, new jobs, and graduations, shared in the community and on our social channels with their permission.
What is Skool, and how does it work?
Skool is the platform that hosts our University: one login holds your courses, the community rooms, and live session links, on your phone or computer. If you can use social media, you can use Skool. Your membership email is your key, and everything is organized so you can find your room in seconds.
Can I cancel anytime? What is the refund policy?
Yes, memberships cancel anytime in a few clicks, and your access runs through the end of your billing cycle. For course refunds, send us a message through the Contact page and we will give you a clear answer for your situation.

Digital PPE and the SAFE Score

What is Digital PPE?
Digital PPE is the digital safety training of Stronger Nurse, built for nurses whose work and lives are online. Just as you would never walk into a room unprotected, you should never practice in public digital spaces unprotected either. The trainings live inside Stronger Nurse University as the Premium tier.
What is the SAFE Score?
The SAFE Score is a short check that scores your digital safety from 0 to 40. Your result points to the area that needs attention first: Cyber SAFE, Click SAFE, HIPAA SAFE, or Recover SAFE. It takes minutes and shows you exactly where to start.
What do the four SAFE trainings cover?
Cyber SAFE covers your accounts, passwords, and devices. Click SAFE covers the links, messages, and scams aimed at nurses. HIPAA SAFE covers protecting patient privacy and your license in everything you post. Recover SAFE walks you through responding when something has already gone wrong, step by step.
How much does SAFE training cost?
The full SAFE course is hosted inside Stronger Nurse University and included in Premium membership at $18 a month. All four SAFE books are in the shop as well: each ebook is $18, and the set of four is bundled at $58. Start with the SAFE Score either way, so you train where your score says you are weakest.
I think something has already gone wrong online. Where do I start?
Start with Recover SAFE inside Premium membership, which is built for exactly that moment and walks you through in order. If a patient privacy issue may be involved, follow your employer's reporting process as well. You do not have to sort it out alone.

Nonprofit: Stronger Nurse Stronger World

What is Stronger Nurse Stronger World?
Stronger Nurse Stronger World is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of Stronger Nurse. It exists because nurses are leaving, and students are falling out of programs, for solvable reasons: money, support, and being unseen. We strengthen nurses so they can strengthen the world.
Who does the nonprofit serve?
The nonprofit serves nursing students and working nurses, with scholarships, education, and direct support that keep nurses in school and at the bedside. It is different from a general charity because it is nurse led and focused on the exact pressure points that push nurses out. Every program answers one question: what would help this nurse stay?
What scholarships are offered, and what do they cover?
Scholarships support nurses across the LPN, ADN, and BSN pathways, set at $1,000 to $4,000 per student per year under the nonprofit's scholarship policy. They cover the real costs that derail students, not just tuition: books, fees, supplies, and the life expenses that compete with school. Round details are published on the Nonprofit page.
How and when can I apply for a scholarship?
Scholarship rounds are announced on the Nonprofit page and in the Stronger Nurse community, with the application and deadlines posted there. If no round is open, join the community or check the page soon, and tell us your story when applications open. We read every application ourselves.
How does donating through Givebutter work? Are gifts tax deductible?
Donations are made through our Givebutter campaign page, linked from the Nonprofit page, in any amount, one time or monthly. Stronger Nurse Stronger World is a registered 501(c)(3), EIN 33-2498569, so gifts are tax deductible to the extent the law allows. You will receive a receipt from Givebutter for your records.
What does my donation support? Why do recurring gifts matter?
Donations fund scholarships, educational programming, and direct support for nurses and students. Recurring gifts matter most because they let us plan: a steady monthly base means a student can be told yes with confidence. Even small monthly gifts, pooled across this community, change what we can promise.
I am a nurse. How can I volunteer as a mentor?
Mentors are the heartbeat of this work. Express your interest through the Nonprofit page or by emailing contact@strongernurse.com, and we will reach out as mentor matching opens in each round. In the meantime, being an encouraging presence in the community is mentoring too.
How can my business or school partner with the nonprofit?
Businesses partner by removing the real barriers students face: childcare, rides, tutoring, financial coaching, and practical services offered to our scholars and members. Schools partner by identifying students who need support to stay enrolled and connecting them with scholarships, mentoring, and community. Reach out through the Nonprofit page and we will design the partnership together.
I cannot give much money. What else can I do?
Plenty, and it matters. Give a small monthly amount if you can, share our campaigns and student stories, introduce us to a business, school, or neighbor who should know this work, or volunteer your skills. Every share and introduction widens the safety net that keeps a nurse in school.

Reclaim Shop

What makes your store different, and what do you sell?
Everything is made to order through our production partners, including Apliiq, Printify, and Printful for apparel and accessories and Lulu for books, so your item is created fresh for you instead of pulled from a warehouse. We offer three families: apparel, accessories, and the bookstore, with print books and eBooks. Less waste, and pieces you will not see everywhere.
What does made to order mean?
Your product is manufactured only after you order it. Production typically adds 2 to 7 business days, and in return you receive a brand new item made for you, with far less overproduction and waste. Because every piece is custom made, our production partners' standard policies apply, including the return policy below.
What is the difference between limited releases and classic pieces?
Limited releases are collections produced in restricted quantities for a limited time. Once one sells out or its window closes, it is never manufactured again, and product pages mark it clearly as Limited Release. Classic pieces are timeless designs that stay in permanent rotation, always available and regularly restocked.
How does my purchase support the nonprofit?
Seven percent of every sale at Reclaim by Stronger Nurse goes to Stronger Nurse Stronger World, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit, calculated on the total sale price of your order before taxes and shipping, across apparel, accessories, books, and digital products alike. A $30 shirt sends $2.10, a $50 item sends $3.50, and a $100 order sends $7.00 to scholarships and nurse support. The Nonprofit page carries the mission, the programs, and impact reporting, and the nonprofit answers above cover giving and deductibility.
Can I cancel or modify my order after placing it?
Yes, within 1 hour of placing it, by emailing reclaim.store@strongernurse.com. After 1 hour your order enters production and cannot be canceled or changed, because it is already being made for you.
How long will my order take, and how do I track it?
Production takes 2 to 7 business days, then standard shipping applies for your location and method. Most orders arrive within 7 to 14 business days in total. When your order ships, you will receive an email with tracking so you can follow it from production to your door. Peak seasons, product launches, and supply chain disruptions can extend production, and limited releases can take longer when demand is high.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, to most countries. International delivery times vary, and customs duties, taxes, or import fees in your country are your responsibility, since our production partners do not cover them. Check your country's import policies before ordering.
What if my package is delayed, lost, or shows delivered but never arrived?
If tracking shows delivered but the package is not there, check with household members and neighbors first, then give it 24 to 48 hours, since carriers sometimes mark packages early. If it is still missing, email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com with your order number and we will file a carrier claim. Delays caused by carriers, customs, or circumstances beyond our control do not qualify for reprints or refunds. A package is treated as lost when there is no delivery within 30 days of shipment in the US or 45 days internationally; confirmed lost packages are reprinted and reshipped at no cost to you, as long as you report it within 1 week after those timeframes.
What if I entered the wrong shipping address?
If the package is returned to us, we can reship it to the correct address, and the new shipping charges are yours. We cannot refund address errors, only reship, so please double check your address at checkout.
What is your return and refund policy?
Because every item is made to order, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on physical products, including clothing, accessories, and print books, and all sales are final once production begins, typically 1 hour after purchase. That includes ordering the wrong size or color, an item that does not fit, and simply not liking a product or a book's content, so please lean on the size charts, fit guides, product descriptions, and book previews before ordering. Limited releases follow this same policy. Defective items are the exception, covered next. For apparel, ordering one classic piece as a sample is a smart way to judge fit and quality before a larger order.
What if my item arrives defective, damaged, or is the wrong item?
You are covered with a free reprint when you report it within 30 days of delivery. Email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com with your order ID, clear photo or video evidence, and a short description. Covered defects include sewing and material flaws, binding problems, print quality issues like fading, cracking, wrong colors or misprints, the wrong item shipped, and damage in production or shipping. Not covered: problems in artwork files you provided, normal placement variation, major screen to print color differences, ordering errors, and change of mind. You do not need to return the defective item; keep it or dispose of it. Our partners require claims within 30 days of delivery so production records are still available, and a reprint in a different size may not be possible if a limited collection has sold out.
When will I receive my replacement?
Once your claim is approved, the reprint enters production immediately and ships within the standard 2 to 7 business day production window.
What is your refund policy for eBooks and digital downloads?
eBook and download sales are final once delivered, because delivery is instant; the same applies to print stationery and workbooks. Please read descriptions, previews, and sample chapters first. If you accidentally purchased the wrong digital product, email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com immediately: if you have not accessed or downloaded it, we may be able to help case by case. Once a digital product has been accessed or downloaded, the no refund policy applies.
Do you offer bulk ordering?
Yes, through our production partners. Printify starts at 20 similar items from the same provider, with discounts up to 46 percent on products and 50 percent on shipping. Printful starts at 25 units of the same product, with discounts up to 55 percent depending on quantity. Apliiq discounts begin at 2 or more items and grow with quantity. As long as the minimum quantity of the same base product is met, you can mix sizes, colors, and even designs and keep the bulk pricing. To place a bulk order, email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com with the product type and quantity, size and color preferences, your design files, and your timeline and shipping address. We will coordinate with our partners and send you a quote. Bulk is ideal for events, team apparel, and in person sales.
Do bulk orders follow the same policies?
Yes. Bulk orders carry no refunds, with free reprints for defects reported within 30 days with documentation, and 7 percent of every bulk order, discounted pricing included, goes to Stronger Nurse Stronger World. Volume makes the impact bigger.
What if I have a medical emergency or extenuating circumstances?
Life happens, and we will treat you like a person. For documented medical emergencies or exceptional hardship, we offer store credit as a gift card rather than a refund. Email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com with the details, and each case is reviewed individually.
Can I combine discount codes with other offers?
Stronger Nurse runs one standing discount: RECLAIM10, 10 percent off a first purchase when you join the store email list. It is one use per customer and never combines with any other offer, and some limited release collections or bulk orders may be excluded under the offer terms. There are no other sales or codes. Email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com if you are unsure about eligibility.
How do I contact customer support?
Email reclaim.store@strongernurse.com. We typically respond within 24 to 48 business hours. For urgent issues, put URGENT in the subject line.
