Nightingale Education Group Minimum Wage Increase At the Flame Forward! conference last August, Nightingale Education Group CEO Mikhail Shneyder, DNEd(hc), MBA, RN announced that no collaborator would make less than $25 per hour in the organization. This amount is more than three times the federal minimum wage. This wage increase was not just a policy change but a reflection of our values and commitment to investing in a high- performing community. We are grateful to KSL-TV in Salt Lake City for highlighting the impact of this change. A special thanks to collaborator Vee Fiso for her willingness to share her story of how this change has impacted her life in a positive way. Help Our Organization Continue to Flourish by Sharing on Comparably Over the years, Comparably has re- cognized our organization for multiple awards including Best CEO, Best Company Culture, Best Career Growth, and more. These recognitions are powerful not because of the titles, but because they are driven by collabo- rator feedback. As we look ahead to more opportunities for recognition, we need your help and feedback to remain eligible for upcoming awards. We are asking collaborators to please visit this link and leave a review on Comparably. It only takes a few minutes and makes a significant impact on our organization and its growth.
Policy and Regulation Update As a part of our ongoing efforts to build a Better World through Better Humanity and Better Health, Nightingale Education Group is ad- dressing the California Legislature by promoting Assembly Bill 1082. This bill would allow California learners to get clinical training in their state. Sponsored by Assemblyman Heath Flora, after the Assembly floor vote, we hope the bill will go to the California Senate for a successful vote. Things are looking promising this year, and we have very powerful sup- port on our side with hopes of picking powerful cosponsors. Our main concern is the governor’s office. The Board of Registered Nursing reports to Governor Newsom, and the members of this board are appoint- ed by him. The Board has once again chosen to oppose our bill, so we will need the governor to go against the recommendation of one of his agencies. This is no small feat, but we have a good team and are very hopeful. Keep a lookout for more information regarding this bill sponsorship coming soon.
Women’s History Month March celebrated Women’s History Month and annually it honors women’s contributions to American history. Women’s History Month began as a local cele- bration in Santa Rosa, California when the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” cele- bration in 1978 that consisted of parades, presentations, and an essay contest, all empowering what it means to be a woman. The theme for Women’s History Month 2025 was “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” During Women’s History Month and every day, we honor the remarkable women who have paved the way for many.
