The Art and Science of Nurse Coaching 
This is a terrific publication, sure to warm the heart of nurses who wish to work with clients in a one-to-one relationship, within the client’s worldview, and use themselves as a reservoir of healing.
This is so exciting! I can’t wait to read this. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thanks for the recommendation Helen,
I begin my coaching class early next month and am looking forward to taking the advanced holistic nursing board exam for the specialty of holistic nursing later in the year. Ann
Ann,
I am very interested in coaching and wanting to know what coaching class you are taking. Very exciting to see their is a book on nurse coaching. I look forward to your reply. Thanks
Sounds like a great book, and a very timely subject as well. Can’t wait to read it!
I am so excited for this publication!
I got all excited when I first saw the title thinking that it was about NURSES COACHING NURSES about the very same topics. At my ripe old age of 74, edu of NP, lots of healthcare and life experiences, I still want to help the more or less “newbies” to see how it used to be done in the days of Drs. Casey, Kildare and Welby. If I were still a writer, I would probably write it myself. Instead, I still have enough in me to wait a few years. Anna
What is the best health coaching/wellness coaching certificate program for nurses?
So exited to read this! This is part of my vision, helping others become more healthy through coaching!
Nurses now have a new role – nurse coaching – for transforming their vast knowledge of suffering and their innate wisdom and compassion into action. What a great benefit for both nurses and patients alike!
The time is ready for Nurse Coaching to make a meaningful patient-oriented difference in healthcare. The potential for moving into a prominent place in hospitals and clinics is exciting and this organization can make it happen. The certificate program is the way to the forefront of Nurse Coaching.
Go o inurse.com and sign up now I finished that program last year and am preparing to take the board certification exam in March, love the instructors, the program and my cohorts!
I have been an RN Health and Wellness Coach for over 3 years, obtaining my first certification through Wellcoaches. It was an amazing interactive telephonic program. Nursing has the background for terrific health coaches. It is much more than motivational interviewing. I have changed how I practice nursing!
Sounds good,much like what MH nurses have done for years. For a nurse practicing independently as a nurse counselor, this may also be useful.
