How is Nurse Life Coaching Different?
May 21, 2024Nurse Coaching is an incredible specialty that has been growing leaps and bounds over the last five years mostly because of amazing certifications that have really put Nurse Coaching on the map! These fantastic programs have been mostly focused on Health and Wellness coaching.
The premise of all nurse coaching is the same:
Assessment, Diagnosis (not disease based), Outcomes Identification, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation
The Nurse Coach partners with the client into a non-judgmental healing container and makes the client an expert of their own healing.
For wellness coaching we ask clients about their health, and ask them about their desired state of health. There are so many great tools for health coaching that we learned in our Certification. Assessing diet, exercise, sleep, mindfulness, etc. However, inevitably once we created the safe container very rarely did health stay the primary focus. Energy wanted to go to the most acute place of suffering. Most nurse coaches find themselves coaching around the other areas:
The Nurse Life Coach Academy teaches methods and structure to help coach other parts of the Wheel of Life so that no matter the topic that comes up in session, we have tools and resources to bring to the client.
The Nurse Life Coach Academy training was modeled after the highest level Life Coaching Schools and Non-Nurse Coaching Trainings bringing it all together so that we can get the CEU’s required to sit for your Nurse Coach Board Certification!
Also, the United States coaching industry is in an explosive era of growth. This 20 Billion dollar industry is now being made up of a small number of board certified professionals like you, the future NC-BC!! (Nurse Coach Board Certified).
Nurse Life Coaching is going to explode. Whether it is nurses in private practice, or nurses bringing their coaching skills to their organizations, it is a natural solution to the biggest challenges that many nurses face.
Because nurses are the most trusted industry in the country, nurse life coaches are at an advantage when it comes to marketing their services.
Life coaching improves health outcomes for certain patients. A limited analysis of two randomized controlled trials found that the coaching methods that aim to improve self-efficacy and self-empowerment can improve health outcomes especially for people who don’t benefit from intensified interventions.

This certification fills the natural gap in education recognized for CEU’s that trains nurses how to be extraordinary Life Coaches!
