Skool gives you levels.We turned them into a story. Every level represents how you show up for your own security, this community, and other nurses. This is NOT about being perfect. It's about progressing. Here’s what each level means and how to move up. 🩺 LEVEL 1 – NEW GRAD“Just starting the journey.” You just walked into the unit for the first time. At Level 1 you’re: - Getting your bearings. - Reading, watching, observing. - Maybe feeling behind (you’re not). How to move toward Level 2: - Read the START HERE posts. - Watch 1–2 resources in the Academy Learning Lab. - Leave your first comment or intro post. Everyone starts here, including Nurse Ashley. Welcome. 🔐 LEVEL 2 – PRECEPTEE “Learning from the community.” Now you’re on orientation with a friendly preceptor. At Level 2 you’re: - Asking questions. - Trying the basics (password manager, 2FA). - Replying to others when you can. How to move toward Level 3: - Post one question in the right channel. - Share one small win in 🎉 WINS & TRANSFORMATIONS. - Attend a free live session or watch a replay. You’re no longer lurking. You’re in the game. 🛡️ LEVEL 3 – COMPETENT “Basic skills mastered.” You can make it through a shift without someone holding your hand. At Level 3 you’re: - Using a password manager. - Turning on 2FA for your key accounts. - Running at least part of the First Monday ritual. How to move toward Level 4: - Finish your full First Monday checklist once. - Help answer a simple question for someone newer. - Share a before/after win (ex: reused passwords → unique). You’re becoming the “techy friend” without even meaning to. 💪 LEVEL 4 – PROFICIENT “Applying knowledge daily.” You don’t just know what to do, you actually do it. At Level 4 you’re: - Keeping your passwords and updates current. - Checking links and DMs before you click. - Showing up regularly for rituals or Win Wednesday. How to move toward Level 5: - Complete at least one full resource path in the Academy Learning Lab. - Teach or explain one concept (even in a short comment). - Share a story about catching a scam or fixing a risk.

🎉 WELCOME TO WIN WEDNESDAY This is where we celebrate EVERY win—no matter how small. Enabled 2FA on one account? WIN. Changed a single password? WIN. Thought about cybersecurity for 5 minutes? WIN. Here's the truth: Fortress Mode isn't built in one day. It's built in tiny, consistent actions that stack over time. This is where we celebrate those actions—together. 📋 WIN WEDNESDAY TEMPLATE (Copy/Paste This) Every Wednesday, post your win using this template: 🎉 WIN WEDNESDAY: [Date] ✅ MY WIN THIS WEEK: [What did you accomplish? Be specific!] 🔐 SECURITY HABIT I IMPLEMENTED: [What action did you take? Password change? 2FA setup? HIPAA check?] 👥 ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDY UPDATE: [Tag your buddy OR say "Looking for one!"] 🔥 FIRST MONDAY RITUAL STATUS: [Did you attend? Watch the replay? Complete the ritual solo?] 💪 NEXT WEEK'S GOAL: [What's ONE thing you'll do before next Wednesday?] Copy the template above, fill it in, and post it below every Wednesday. 🎯 WHY WIN WEDNESDAY WORKS 1. Accountability Without Shame You're not reporting to a boss. You're celebrating with peers who GET IT. No judgment. No "you should have done more." Just: "You did something. That's progress." 2. Peer Inspiration When you see Jessica migrate 20 passwords in one week, you think: "If she can do 20, I can do 5." When you see Marcus finally enable 2FA after 3 months of "I'll do it later," you realize: "It's okay to take your time. Progress > perfection." 3. Habit Formation Every Wednesday, you pause and ask: "What did I do this week?" That pause? That's the difference between drifting and progressing. 4. Community Building When you tag your accountability buddy, you're saying: "I see you. We're in this together." When 40 people post their wins in one day, you realize: "I'm not alone. This community is DOING THE WORK." 🔥 EXAMPLE WIN WEDNESDAY POSTS Here's what REAL wins look like: Example 1: Small Win (But Still a Win!) 🎉 WIN WEDNESDAY: February 5, 2026 ✅ MY WIN THIS WEEK:
