Nurse Coaching is an honest, professional and authentic option for clients (and Nurses) who want to take a different approach than the traditional healthcare model.
Nurse Coaches, who are Registered Nurses with exceptional education and experience in health coaching, step out of the way and encourage clients to safely explore, while listening deeply and offering powerful Nurse Coaching questions.
This is the story of a Registered Nurse (me) who stood up for herself and her patients, and what happened in the process. Nurses are one of the most dedicated professionals on the earth. Nurses vow to protect their patients from harm. Here is Nightingale’s Pledge from 1935, and it (or an updated version) continues to be said at nurse graduation ceremonies around the world.
I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly, to pass my life in purity and to practise my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavour to aid the physician in his work, and as a 'missioner of health' I will dedicate myself to devoted service to human welfare.
Nurse Coaches do not treat diseases or body parts, instead they honor people as unique, individual beings, comprised of wisdom and strengths. They engage patients and their families in all health-related decisions. Nurse Coaches see the possibility for healing and connect with patients on a deep level, and why they are essential in the healthcare space.
