NEW NURSING INTERVIEW FLASHCARDS!

For those of you who knew Hailey, you know the incredible joy she brought to everything she touched. And for those who didn’t know her personally, Hailey had an endless love for the beach and traveling (though she absolutely HATED cold water 😆). These are some of my favorite memories we shared together, exploring sandy shores near and far, going on adventures that always felt like magic. Whether we were on a remote island across the world or camping close to home, Hailey’s light and love made every moment unforgettable. 🌊❤️

To my angel (because I know you’re keeping tabs on me running your business😆), today is Easter, and it’s impossible not to feel the weight of you not being here with us. Just when I think the pain couldn’t be deeper, it is. I wish you were here to create the family memories we dreamed about together. I miss you more than words can capture and can’t wait for the day I get to see you again.

Thank you for being my everything. You always have been and always will be my beautiful angel. 🪽 I love you forever, Hailey. ❤️

I don’t have the words to fully express the weight of this loss, but I want to take a moment to honor the most incredible woman—my wife, Hailey ❤️

Thank you for all the beautiful memories we created together. Thank you for loving me, for traveling the world with me, and for filling our life with laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments. You gave me a love that was so deep, so real, and so unconditional. I will carry that with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you for “forcing” me to go on that babymoon to Hawaii—which we had no idea would be our final trip together. It turned out to be one of the most special experiences of my life. We made memories there that I’ll hold onto forever.

I promise to tell Crew all about you—about your spirit, your strength, your kindness, and the incredible adventures we shared. I can’t wait to show him the pictures, to tell him the stories, and to make sure he knows just how amazing his mom was.

I miss you more than words can say. I love you endlessly, Hailey.

Until we meet again,
❤️Matt

Thank you all for your patience and understanding as we navigate this transition. Hailey poured her heart into this business, and we are committed to continuing her vision in her honor. RNnewgrads is still fully operational, with the exception of apparel sales at this time. All digital cheat sheets, physical interview notecards, and other resources are still available as usual.

You made my life special in more ways than I can count. From the moment we met, we were blessed to grow together—working side by side, chasing our dreams with determination and love. And you did it. You built something incredible.

Through sheer dedication, you taught yourself everything—running a business, marketing, content creation, and so much more. You created a community that trusted you, inspiring and educating millions of new grad nurses, RNs, doctors, and beyond. Your impact was immense, and I couldn’t be more proud.

Crew is going to grow up hearing about the incredible woman his mom was—how strong, brilliant, and fearless she was in everything she did. He’ll know that she was a true force, changing lives and leaving a legacy that will never be forgotten.

I love you always,
Matt 💔

It is with the heaviest of heart that I share the devastating news of the unexpected passing of my beautiful wife, Hailey Marie Okula, due to complications from childbirth. Words cannot convey the depth of the loss I feel. Hailey was more than I could have ever dreamed of in a wife and partner. She was gorgeous, smart, hardworking, passionate, trustworthy, and above all else, unbelievably loyal. For nearly 13 years, she stood by my side in the hardest of times, loving me endlessly, even when I felt undeserving of that love. She was my everything.

Hailey’s strength was unparalleled. Words can’t describe how badly we wanted to be parents. After years of infertility struggles and a long, challenging IVF process, we were overjoyed to be expecting Crew. Hailey faced every hurdle with so much courage and love—even though her body went through so much, she never wavered. I will never forget the moment I broke down, apologizing for the toll the process would take on her. She held my face, looked into my eyes, and said, “We are a team, and we’ll get through this together.” That was Hailey. A fighter. A teammate. A woman who would do anything for the people she loved.

Though her time with us was tragically cut short, Hailey’s love for Crew was limitless, long before he entered this world. She would have been the most amazing mom. Her spirit, courage, and love will live on in our son, and through everyone whose lives she touched.

Hailey poured her soul into her career as a nurse and her passion for teaching others through her business, RN New Grads. She was so proud of it and was dedicated to creating something meaningful, not just for herself, but for the nursing community she loved so much. She dreamed of helping new nurses thrive while also being present for our sweet Crew, building a life and legacy she was so proud of.
