The Origin

Most nursing advice comes from people who don't work the floor.

Nursing school teaches you how to pass the NCLEX. It doesn't teach you how to survive your first code blue, manage 6 patients at once, or eat something besides vending machine chips at 3 AM.

Chad the Nurse is different. Founded by Chad Ballard — a working registered nurse and DAISY Award honoree. Every course, every product starts with one question: would this actually help a nurse on their next shift?

That's not a marketing angle. That's the entire company.

Coming Soon

Nurse-designed gear

Courses fund the inventory. Every product solves a problem Chad has lived through firsthand.

🚧 Physical products launching soon — bootcamp sales fund the first production run.
