“The most organized, user friendly, content robust, and virtrually interactive platform. I’ve finally found my professional and heartfelt purpose – the Transformative Nurse Coach Certificate Program was the foundational launch pad I needed.”

Kayy O’Connell, BSN, RN, NC-BC

“During this course, every bite tastes good. The videos are like a rich, savory broth that left me feeling nourished and satisfied. The activities are like perfectly cooked vegetables, crisp and full of flavor.

Discussions are like a decadent dessert, a delightful surprise that added an extra layer of enjoyment.

Overall, this program was like a full-course meal, satisfying all my cravings and leaving me fulfilled. I’m SO glad that I took the time to savor each bite of this delicious meal.

Craig Onwuharonye, BSN, RN

Karen Irvin, BSN, MPH, RN, HWNC-BC

“After 20 years in nursing, I still hadn’t found my true calling… until this program. Within days of starting the course, I knew I was where I needed to be; as a nurse and for my own wellbeing.”

Shanti Woodside, BSN, RN, Nurse Coach

“100% worth the investment of time and money. I’ve become a better nurse, a better co-worker – even a better wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend. A wonderful experience that taught me how to bring more holistic care into the world.”

The Course is well-organized, extensive, and addresses many aspects of a patient’s journey back to health and wellness.

I’ve always loved nursing because it offers so many options for ways to care for others. This Transformative Nurse Coaching program expands those possibilities exponentially.

Great question!

We focus on providing you with a world-class learning experience, so that you create extraordinary results in your life and practice.

We listen closely to our student’s feedback and are constantly improving and iterating to provide you with the absolute best learning journey possible.

Simple, yet profound.

What Kind of Professional Opportunities Are There For Nurse Coaches?

Nurse Coaching can be applied to any area of nursing that you choose.

Start your own business, implement Nurse coaching into your current position, or create a new one for yourself.

Nurse Coaches work in hospitals, clinics, and wellness centers. They partner with integrative and functional medicine docs, naturopaths, MDs, DOs, and NPs.

They work for insurance companies, corporate wellness, and even with kids and teachers. 

Your professional opportunities are limitless – this will help you design your ideal practice and reap the benefits for years to come.

What is included with the price of this Nurse Coach certificate program?
  • 7 months of online learning, support, and supervision
  • 120 CNEs Total
    • 60 Hours of supervised coaching
    • 60 Hours of learning and practicing coaching methodologies
  • State-of-the-art remote learning, with exclusive access to all online modules, course work, and group video-conferences

  • Lifetime access to course material and our exclusive community of Transformative Nurse Coaches.

Do You Have Payment Plans?

Yes! You can pay all-at-once or over a number of months.

If you choose an installment plan, this means that you make your first payment upon registration, and then all future payments will be automatic monthly withdrawals. There is a nominal additional processing fee for installment plans. 

Can I take this course while working full time?

Yes! This course was designed by nurses, for nurses – so it’s intentionally created to allow you to be successful with your busy schedule.

Much of the course is self-paced, it’s 100% virtual, and you only need to dedicate about 5-6 hours/week to your learning in order to be successful.

Most nurses in this course are simultaneously working full time, managing families, pursuing hobbies, taking vacations, and many also studying in other programs as well.

Needless to say, it’s designed to be very flexible and doable for the “busy nurse”… which I think is all of us 🙂 

Board Certification Requirements

This training provides you with 100% of the education and supervised practicum hours needed to sit for the board certification in either Nurse Coaching, Holistic Nursing, or both.

But there are some additional prerequisites required by the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation:

https://thenursecoaches.com/about/national-nurse-coach-board-certification/

Will My Hospital/Institution Pay For This Course?

Around 30% of our graduates have been either partially or fully reimbursed for this training by their employer.

While we can’t guarantee this, we encourage you to talk to your employer since many do have an “education allowance” for continuing education and certifications, offering as much as $2,000-$3,000 a year.

Speak with your manager and human resources department to find out if the Transformative Nurse Coach Program will qualify for this reimbursement.

What is the Difference Between Each Collective?

Each Collective of the Transformative Nurse Coach Certificate Program is virtually identical, with the exception of the start dates.

So, choose the date that works best for you and enjoy the ride!

How Many Nurses in Each Collective?

Each online Collective is comprised of about 30 nurses in total.

We’ve tested this extensively and have found this to be the magic number for maximum engagement and interactive learning.

And to take it one step further, after week 6, we divide your cohort in half one more time.

That way, you’ll meet with an intimate group of 15 incredible nurses every month to discuss case studies, receive expert mentorship from your co-instructor, and practice Nurse Coaching in a live environment.

Doesn’t get much more personalized than that! 

What is a Co-Instructor?
Each online course has a Co-Instructor who is responsible for offering you direct support and personalized feedback every step of the way.

These individuals are powerful Nurse Coaches who have learned directly from Heather and Peter in the past. They’ve demonstrated extraordinary prowess in the field of Nurse Coaching, which is why they were hand-selected for this position.

They’ve received additional training beyond what we provide in this course so that they can go above and beyond for you.

Your co-instructor will be an invaluable resource for you.

Technical Requirements

To take any course by The Nurse Coach Collective, you must have access to:

  • Working internet capable of streaming audio, video, downloading documents, and engaging with peers.

We also have an incredible tech support team to help you with any challenges that may arise. They are available 24/7.

Refund and Withdrawal Policy

We go to great lengths to ensure that you are a good fit for the program. In fact, we personally speak with each and every nurse who is interested! 

So, we encourage you to reflect and ensure that this is the right decision for you.

But, we know life happens. You have 72 hours from signup for a 100% refund, no questions asked. After that, see our terms of service and refund policy. 

Can I sign up with a friend?

Yes, yes, yes!

In fact, we encourage you to sign up with friends and colleagues, because the growth you’ll experience together will be magnified.  

If you are considering signing up for a program, ask yourself:

“Which nurses do I know who might really love to go through this experience with me?”

Are there any guarantees that I’ll pass the certification exam?

At the time of this writing, we have a 100% pass rate for the certification exam! So while we can’t make guarantees for things that are out of our control, we do a great job of preparing you (and all of our students) for success!

Do you have to take a certification exam to be a nurse coach?

If you want to become a Board Certified Nurse Coach, you will need to take the certification exam provided by AHNCC after completing our program. While not required, nearly all of our students choose to become board certified, since our program provides you with all of the education and practice necessary to sit for this exam.

Is this program accredited?

Yes! Our program is peer-reviewed bi-annually by the American Holistic Nurses Association. 

This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by the American Holistic Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
