“I find that people make the changes best when they uncover the information themselves. I can offer them information, but unless they come up with that solution, that's where real magic happens. That's where change happens when they come up with their own solution. 

And I find through the subconscious work with hypnosis and yoga nidra, that sometimes you just really need to be in that relaxed state to have it come to the s...

Inspiring Collective Community: Christine Gilchrist PhD, MPH, RN, NC-BC, CH Highlights

"To each of you— to ask, at this point, 'what is it you're hoping for'?  And then when you have that, when you've reflected on that, to go back inside and ask, 'what is your deeper hope'? I think, to be able to connect with feelings of hope through difficult times that certainly we experience in our lives and as ...

    Menopause Insights from a Nurse Coach-Suzanne Greiner BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights

    “Yes, I'm going through perimenopause. And what do I want my perimenopause story to look like? Do I want to be a victim to going through this?

    Or do I want to be that victor? I went through perimenopause, and I was able to do this, and I was able to find solutions for my own health. And I think the kicker for me at that point in my perimenopausal jou...

    86: Building a Meditation App- Ann Adams, MS, RN Highlights

    "Two supportive practices that are accessible to anybody is their breath— that can help regulate their nervous system, just by learning different ways to breathe. And gratitude. So a gratitude practice is free, and that helps you not ignore what's negative, but helps you scan the horizon for also what's good.  

    If we have a dysregulated nervous system, we tend...

    85: Celebrating Integrative Nurse Coaching: Karen Avino EdD, RN, AHN-BC, HWNC-BC Highlights

    "The trend word out there is well being, right? We want Nurses, everyone, to feel like they are in the state of well being.  We know that well being is really static. It's like in the present moment, I'm feeling well, whereas really, self development is about well becoming, because it's a much longer journey of... and neve...

    "In the Nurse coaching certificate course, we definitely learned about mindfulness. And you know, that sounds maybe trivial to somebody who's not familiar with Nurse coaching. Sure, we know mindfulness is research fact and very effective, but it just goes so much deeper than that.

    You know, we don't often as Nurses, allow ourselves enough time, time with our patients, time with ourselves, time to breathe, time to drin...

    “…the problem and what is driving Nurses from the profession in droves like never seen before— please don't talk to me about attrition, well, yes, that's a factor—the world is hemorrhaging Nurses. And that's a quote from Dr. Terrance Hill, medical sociologist, the world is hemorrhaging Nurses and the root cause for that, it's not about burnout.

    And please stop gaslighting Nurses about burnout resilience. Please j...

    82: Uplifting Messages from the Universe! Annie Jones PhD, MBA, MSN, RN, AOCN, NC-BC Highlights

    “I thank the universe and have much gratitude. I think what's on my heart is that community is so important. 

     And it's our own responsibility for ourselves, and to remember that when we see another member of our community— so in other words, our Nursing group, our Nurse coaches in particular— is that we're a sister and brot...

    81: Building a Business as a New Nurse Coach- Whitney Distefano BSN, RN, NC-BC 

    “As a new business owner in the community, it's just been one learning opportunity after another, and truly just like a practice of vulnerability, of showing up and putting yourself out there and really doing the best I can to be detached from the outcome, which is what they teach us as Nurse Coaches as well. 

     Showing up day in and day out, and know...

    "Nurses are so well suited for psychedelics, and we bring so many skill sets that other disciplines don't, and I don't think any one discipline has it all, but I think we bring a really important piece of the puzzle. And if you think about it, Nurses are with patients in non ordinary states of consciousness, sometimes every day.

    Together We Can Stop Shame and Blame in Nursing-Kristy Meyer RN, BSN, NC-BC Highlights

    “I feel like self-care is often discussed in a way like, well, you're burned out, it’s because you're not doing self-care, or you're burned out, that means you're not resilient.

    And I feel like there's a lot of shame and blame in there, when really, we work in really tough environments, and we see really hard things, and a ...

    “It's okay to find balance, and to go to different areas and explore... so we can continue to have peace within ourselves, so you can have joy. If you're feeling angst or feeling physically ill and your mind isn't at rest, we can't find joy.” ~ Dena Alberti PhD, RN, NPD-BC, HN-BC, HWNC-BC

    "I finally did find my purpose, and my purpose is to nurture an atmosphere of unlimited potential for those around me. And when I typed those words out, I cried, and I still get emotional about it, because I'm like, you know what?

    "I am helping Nurses at the bedside and providing them with tools and expertise to change their practice, and make a difference in the things they do every single day. And that's how we should be practicing.  It's all not patient care, some of it's the practice environment. And maybe there's best practices for how to create a better work environment." ~Jill Arzouman DNP, RN, ACNS, BC, CMSRN, NC-BC, RYT...

    "If you don't feel like enough, if you feel like you need something more, start talking to someone about why you feel that way. And really cultivate a sense of awareness. And you're not going to find the answer outside yourself.

    “…you need space in order for energy to be exchanged and to hear what we're saying, and hear what the other person said. Historically, I've wanted to fill that space really. 

    So, it's still practice for me as well. I still have to work on it. But just trying to lean into that. And, allow that space to exist so people get the benefit of hearing themselves talk too.” ~Lindsay Frey MA, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, HNB-BC, CDCES
