Available for new graduate nurses

The chart teaches you the disease. It won't teach you how to stand in the room.

I'm Frank Sturniolo — 25 years as an emergency nurse, 7 more spent building the education, onboarding, and mentorship programs that new grads go through on their first day. I help nurses build the judgment and composure that no orientation checklist can hand them.

Who you'd be talking to

Frank Sturniolo, RN

I've spent 25 years working emergency departments — the overnight surges, the codes, the quiet 4am shifts where you learn the most. The last 7 have been in nursing education, operations, HR, and mentoring: building new-grad bootcamps, running simulation days, and having the conversations orientation doesn't leave room for.

Outside the department, I read Jungian psychology, leadership, and personality theory — not as an academic exercise, but because it's given me a better vocabulary for what actually happens to a new nurse under pressure, and how to talk someone through it.

How I'd hand this off to you

Written the way we talk to each other in the department

Every ED nurse knows SBAR — it's how we hand off what matters in under a minute. Here's mine.

S
Situation

You're new — maybe weeks in, maybe a couple of years — standing in a department that moves faster than any classroom prepared you for. The skills came from your bootcamp and your preceptor. The steadiness has to come from somewhere else.

B
Background

25 years working the floor of an emergency department. 7 years in nursing education, operations, HR, and mentoring — building new-grad onboarding programs, running simulation days, and sitting across from nurses in their hardest weeks, not just their orientation ones.

A
Assessment

My lens isn't only clinical. I've spent years studying Jungian psychology, leadership, personality, and the actual mechanics of listening — because what breaks most new nurses isn't a knowledge gap. It's confidence, communication, and not having anyone steady to think it through with.

R
Recommendation

If you're navigating the emergency department and could use someone who's been in it — not to fix you, but to listen and reason through it alongside you — start with a quick Clinical Readiness check. No cost, no catch.
