Where nurse coaches become professionals

This isn't more education — it's implementation.

When we asked certified nurse coaches what they wished they had after certification, we heard the same things again and again:

In medicine, a residency is how a license becomes real-world skill and confidence. Coaching is no different. The Nurse Coach Residency™ is a structured, 3-trimester mentorship built to turn certified nurse coaches into confident, profitable practitioners — through real reps, real clients, and real revenue.

I have the training — now I need real clients.

I don’t want more theory. I need accountability.

I want to build a real business, not a hobby.

I need a roadmap and someone to walk it with me.

A 3-trimester residency model

From foundation to scale.

Each Trimester takes 4–6 months. Move faster and graduate early, or take a balanced pace while working full-time. 200 total CEUs across 12–18 months of structured implementation.

You'll be placed in a small pod of no more than 10 coaches starting the same month, led by a dedicated Residency Coach who knows your journey.

Multiple monthly coaching labs

Client Creation Labs, Sales Labs, and Mindset Labs — choose the support you need, when you need it. Real feedback on real situations.

Weekly progress benchmarks

Required progress forms and activation milestones. All benchmarks must be met to advance — because structure is what turns students into professionals.

Prior to The Residency program, I had no paid coaching clients and doubted whether I should continue pursuing private practice. Now I have 3 paid clients, several potential clients on my schedule, and I'm no longer questioning my ability to do this.

Is this your next right step?

Who the Residency is
— and isn't — for.

This is not a program for nurses without formal coach training. It is built for certified nurse coaches who are ready to move from learning into real-world application.

This is for you if…

  • You are a certified nurse coach ready to start or grow a business
  • You want more autonomy, purpose, and income from your nursing career
  • You are ready to implement — not just learn another modality
  • You're pursuing private practice, organizational contracts, or both
  • You value structure, accountability, and ethical client enrollment

This is not for you if…

  • You haven't completed formal nurse coach certification yet
  • You're looking for a get-rich-overnight shortcut
  • You prefer watching modules to coaching real people
  • You're unwilling to track actions or receive direct feedback
  • You're collecting another certification with no plan to build a practice
  • You're waiting for a "perfect time" to begin

Who is the Nurse Coach Residency for?

The Residency is designed for certified nurse coaches who are ready to start or grow a coaching business. It is built for nurses who already have a coaching foundation and are ready to move into real-world application — whether your goal is part-time practice or a multiple six-figure coaching career.

How long does the program take?

Each Trimester takes 4–6 months. If you move faster through the activations and complete your coaching hours, you can graduate a Trimester early. Full-time working nurses have the flexibility to take the full six months per Trimester without penalty — 12–18 months total for the full Residency.

How much time per week do I need?

Trimesters I and II require 8–12 hours per week. Trimester III moves to 10–20 hours per week as you're scaling. This includes live calls, outreach, client sessions, and implementation work. The program is specifically built to accommodate working nurses.

What kind of results can I expect?

We've mentored 800+ nurse coaches and helped 35+ past the $10K/month goal. Trimester I outcome is your first 1–5 paying clients. Trimester II outcome is your first $10K earned. Trimester III outcome is a scalable business and capstone project. Results vary directly with your participation, consistency, and willingness to take action.

Can I enroll one Trimester at a time?

Yes. You can enroll in a single Trimester if you want to focus on a specific stage of growth or need flexibility with time and investment. Most students serious about building a business choose the full track for continuity, accountability, and long-term results — and the Full Residency pricing reflects a meaningful savings over individual Trimesters.

Is this built for organizational coaching programs?

Yes. If your goal is to build a nurse coaching program within a healthcare organization, your Trimester III capstone can be fully tailored to that vision. We still recommend completing Trimesters I and II to build 150+ cumulative coaching hours and real client experience — every active organizational contract we know of started with a part-time private practice first.

Is this just more education?

This is not more education. The Residency is built on execution — activation-based milestones, real coaching hours, supervised feedback, and pod-based accountability. You don't graduate by finishing modules; you graduate by hitting real business benchmarks.

What is the "Powerful Conversation" method?

PC#1 is your first coaching conversation — where you apply core techniques and presence. PC#2 is coaching your potential client through to a clear decision: a path forward and a yes or no, not a "maybe." Our method of teaching sales as advocacy is what we're known for — and it's the single most important skill for a profitable practice.

12–18 months from now…

Imagine where you'll be.

You're no longer wondering how to get clients — you're enrolling them with confidence. You're no longer questioning whether nurse coaching can be profitable — you're getting paid for your work. It's happening for nurses just like you:

This program gave me the structure, tools, and support to turn my passion into something sustainable. I now feel ready to invite clients in and stand in the value of my work.

Kris Christie

The coaching support and road map to create a successful business is invaluable. I generated 5 paid clients during the first 12 weeks. Worth every penny of the investment.

Colleen Rosenberg

Now I have 3 paid clients, several potential clients on my schedule, and I’m no longer questioning my ability to do this.

Jaime Pittman

You are one decision away from making this your reality.

Our results commitment

Results are not guaranteed and are directly tied to your level of participation, consistency, and willingness to take action. The Residency is designed to provide the structure, tools, and support — your outcomes will reflect how fully you engage with the process.

This is NOT a get-rich-overnight program. It is evidence-based mentorship, built on six years of work with hundreds of nurse coaches who have built real, profitable practices through structured action.
