The single best thing I have done to become a happier, healthier nurse was to become a Transformative Nurse Coach. After working in the ICU for years, I was spiraling towards burnout and thinking of leaving nursing all together. Since becoming a Board Certified Nurse Coach, I have built a private practice which allows me work with clients I love, set my own schedule, and charge my own rates. My new professional role fulfills me and prioritizes my own well-being. From that place, I can sustainably support my clients to create the lasting lifestyle changes that put them on a path towards wellness.
Yet I realized that this was not about my journey, but about the journey of each and every nurse who wants something more. So, my partner and I created The Nurse Coach Collective, a training academy for nurses to become Transformative Nurse Coaches and reinvent their nursing practice. As a member of the Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation Grand Challenge, I look forward to sharing wellness tips, information, and resources with other nurses - so that they can be more happy and well in their personal lives, and more fulfilled in their careers.
