I bet this isn’t what you thought nursing
would be…
You thought getting through nursing school was the hard part.
You worked your way through clinicals, exams, care plans, and NCLEX. You finally got the job you worked so hard for.
So why do you sometimes feel like you have no idea what you're doing?
You’re learning a million things at once. You’re trying to remember everything from orientation. You’re figuring out how to prioritize, communicate, and keep up with the pace of the shift.
And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you're also trying to become a nurse.
You want to be helpful without being a burden.
You want your coworkers and preceptors to know you're trying.
You want to feel confident instead of constantly second-guessing yourself.
And when you finally get home, you may still be replaying your shift in your head.
“Nurses are a unique kind. They have this insatiable need to care for others, which is both their greatest gift and fatal flaw.”
Jean Watson
You second-guess yourself constantly, wondering if you're doing enough or missing something.
You can't quite turn off your work brain when you leave the hospital…even when you desperately want to unwind.
You feel overwhelmed by the mental load of learning your new role while trying to keep up with everything happening around you.
You worry about what your coworkers, preceptor, or patients think of you when you don't know the answer or make a mistake.
Here’s The Truth:
Nursing CAN feel like the career you hoped it would be
while you’re still learning!
You can feel more confident in yourself…even when you don't know everything yet.
You can quiet the constant second-guessing and spend less time wondering whether you're doing nursing "right."
You can handle the emotional side of nursing without carrying every difficult shift home with you.
You can show up as the nurse you are becoming without feeling like you have to be perfect.
I know exactly how
you feel…
I felt that way too.
I used to go through the motions of shifts wondering why any of this was happening. I felt overworked and irritated by every order and every ask made of me. I experienced the need to connect and the lack of desire to talk to anyone at the same time. I felt guilty about missing things while being away from my family and equally guilty for not being at work to help when it was busy. I was disappointed with myself and felt frustrated after working so hard to become a nurse just to feel like it wasn’t worth it. I wanted to escape my career. When I found coaching it felt like the light had been turned on in a dark room. I started to see the world around me in a different way. I found self-compassion, gratitude, and joy in areas of my life where it was missing. The tools of life coaching helped me recover from burnout and re-engage with my life.One in which I was empowered to succeed.Nurses are innate helpers. When I learned the concepts used in life coaching, I saw big shifts in my perspective and in my practice. I knew I had to share them with my colleagues and help others who were experiencing the same struggles. It was time to put aside the coping strategies of laughing at memes or making snarky comments and orient my fellow nurses to a more useful way of thinking. I studied coaching and got certified as a life coach. I now consistently apply coaching tools in so many different areas of my life. I am here to teach you the strategies that will shift your mindset and create empowerment in any situation. I can help you create a career you enjoy and a life you love.
Let’s Work Together
You don't have to figure out new-nurse life on your own. Starting your nursing career is exciting. And hard. You can be grateful for your job and still feel overwhelmed by it. You can love caring for patients and still question whether you're cut out for nursing. You can be proud that you made it through nursing school and still feel like the least experienced person in the room.
We’ll examine your individual challenges that you face everyday. We will unwind your overwhelm, stress, and anxiety so that you can connect with the nurse you thought you would be when you finished school. I’ll give you the tools to help you feel confident, empowered, and in control of this early stage of your career.
That's how coaching can help.

You’re learning a new profession, finding your place on a team, caring for other people, and figuring out how to take care of yourself at the same time.
That's a lot.
You don't have to prove that you're struggling "enough" before you deserve support.
