Nurses often do not get the credit that they deserve…

They are tending to the needs of patients all day long, while working long hours, and often at a salary that is not commensurate with their education and skill set.

Plus, the conventional medicine and hospital industry are quickly becoming undesirable places to work when less care is being given and resources are being cut…

This is why so many nurses are making the switch to health coaching and leaving the “sick care” industry behind – to find out more details as to how nurses and healthcare practitioners are making a better living and helping more people as health coaches tune into today’s Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess Episode 344 for all the details!

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Switching Their Focus
    Most nurses want to help people truly get well and in conventional medicine the focus is predominantly on medicating people and not looking for the underlying root cause like they would as a health coaching.

  2. Better Hours & Pay
    As a Certified Health Coach nurses are able to make their own hours, have a family friendly schedule, and make the same pay in less time.

  3. Job Satisfaction
    Many nurses are fed up with the long shifts, inability to stop for lunch or to use the bathroom, and they want a career that focuses more on helping people get well rather than only treating sick people. This is one more reasons why so many nurses are making the switch to become health coaches.
