Scrubs in the Trenches

Scrubs in the Trenches

An holistic perspective on Healthcare from an experienced ICU RN with specific training in Health Coaching called Nurse Coaching (Think RN +Life Coach= Nurse Coach: RN NC-BC) Many medical professionals are walking away from traditional medicine roles because we are sick and tired of a system that promotes a sick and tired population instead of trying to find out the root causes for their symptoms. So this season will focus on Medical Professionals who are stepping into Professional Coaching roles and highlighting all of the amazing work that they are doing! So join me as I interview people from all different backgrounds to provide a glimpse into Healthcare that you otherwise wouldn’t get. This show is for entertainment purposes only and I’m pretty sure that some lawyer somewhere would like for me to remind you that this is NOT MEANT AS MEDICAL ADVICE
