“We see this a lot in oncology too, where we're seeing a lot of use of hypnosis in even outpatient oncology, Nurses learning hypnotic language and using it there. Patients starting to feel more supported. Like, I knew you supported me before, but when we add that extra layer of using our communication styles with more conscious effort, our patients feel it, they draw more meaning from those experiences.” ~Christy Cowgill BCH, RN, CRNA, MBA, CHBE, NC-BC

Ah-Ha Moments

• Placebo and beliefs are powerful and can have reduced negative symptomology
• Nocebo is a negative suggestion, like side effects, headaches, nausea, weight gain etc.
• Elimination of or creating positive flips in language and words will support our patients more effectively
• Hypnosis is a state of being conscious and focused and taking in suggestions as if they are true
• Adding in positivity to neutralize the negatives helps support full healing
• Words are important for the meaning you understand for your healing

“And that's where we get into that fixed thinking, the black and white thinking, And I use this thing where I say, well, it's not an "or" it's an "and". It's both. It can be both. You can be happy, and you can be sad at the same time. Similar to what I was talking to you when I was with you guys when my brother passed. 

Well, I was really sad, however, there were moments there that were just joyful for me. It was both. We're capable, our humaneness is capable. That's wholism to me, that's experiencing the whole. And sometimes I spell holistic Nurse with a W.”  ~Sandy Rousso, MSN, RN, HWNC-BC

Ah-Ha's 

• Nurses practice under their own license. We are not practicing medicine; we are practicing Nursing
• Going where you are called, despite what others think, will bring you great joy.  Go there
• What is your spiritual business plan?  Have you considered this concept?
• “Sometimes you don’t have all the answers, you just know you need to begin”  Dr. Barbara Dossey
• When you discover your passion, and connect to it, you will inspire others to find their passion
• Share what you know, it will help others blossom
• When we realize we have choice, we realize we are free
• You have an inner still point, and you can find it and return to it

“Being fully present, allows me to get into touch with the wonders of life and the wonders of everything around. And I find that incredibly nourishing, and I find that incredibly healing. And I know, from the 10 years or more that I've been doing mindfulness, that I've become a stronger person in myself.”  ~Louise Bobbitt, RN, PgDipNurs

• Mindfulness can help with suffering, anxiety, emotions hidden away, forgiveness, how to recognize feelings and how to recognize and be with them
• Mindfulness helps with personal honesty, instead of hiding from self
• Mindfulness practices lead to gratitude
• Mindfulness extends into personal and professional life, relationships, and decision making

“We need to teach our Nurses how to find this peace within during stressful times, and it's really just breathing, it's breath work. It's getting our heart electrical rhythm under control, our heart rate variability, and in sync with our emotions which come from the mind. 

I know for me, in the critical care world, I definitely didn't stop to breathe during my stressful times. But learning to take a moment and work on breathing and breathing into the emotions of the heart, which are appreciation, caring, love, whatever those good emotions are, finding those and breathing into that emotion.”  ~Kim Karracker RN, NC-BC

Ah-Has

• Experiencing what it’s like to live with a chronic disease becomes a very authentic way to connect to the needs and desires of patients and clients experiencing something similar
• HeartMath is an easy and powerful tool to use to help clients connect to their own wisdom
• Food is one element of whole-body healing, and Nurse Coaches are using food to help their clients find health
• All Nurses should take Nurse Coach training to help support them in their stressful jobs
• Nurse Coaching tools and skills will help support Nurses of all specialties prevent burnout and reduce turnover

What it’s like to be a Nurse Coach Practicum Student- Holly Blankenship, MSN, RN Highlights

Ah-Ha's

“The practicum is super cool, because I'm getting a little taste of what it's going to be like to have my business and how I want it to be. I get to be creative and provide space for people… and I get to see whole changes with them and goals being reached during it.”  ~Holly Blankenship, MSN, RN

• Nurses can have health changes because of the stress of death, grief, suffering, the shift work, and extreme measures of caring for others over themselves.
• We are all connected as humans, through human, real life experiences.
• It’s OK to work with a therapist and make yourself the number 1 priority!
• Is being a ‘people pleaser’ really serving you?
• Whole person wellness, real foods, solid sleep and rest, acupuncture, movement, stress reduction, and caring for
• There is a big difference between counseling and coaching.  Coaching helps people reflect and dig deep to create goals and plans of action
• Self-efficacy must be built, reinforced and supported in order to make change
• Nurse Coach Practicum is challenging, and yet, oh so cool and amazing, in personal and professional growth.

Thriving with a Nurse Coach Action Mindset-Kimberly Foster, BSN, RN, HN-BC, HWNC-BC, HMCP, Sacred Geometry Energy Healer Highlights

“To be able to pause and say, no, this is the course of action I want to take, was a really powerful tool that I had to learn and to actually use-- the whole action mindset.” ~Kimberly Foster, BSN, RN, HN-BC, HWNC-BC, HMCP, Sacred Geometry Energy Healer Highlights

Ah-Has

• Nurses are juggling so many people, things and needs. How can you step back and create space for you within all of it?  It’s OK to do that.
• It’s hard to set boundaries, and you can still set boundaries!
• How can you share your obvious gifts with the world?
• Who is your influence as a Nurse and a Human?
• What shifts can you make to function from a state of overflow?
• Holistic Nursing and Nurse Coaching practices, create space for you to just be

Ah-Has

“There's so much that needs to be done, so much change that needs to happen. How will we ever do it? And then I step back and it's like, one Nurse at a time, one situation at a time, one ripple will start making that change. And then it doesn't seem so overwhelming, I think.” ~Karen Day, MSN, RN, NC-BC

•  We can make change, one Nurse at a time, one situation at a time
• Our younger Nurses are training younger Nurses as preceptors, teachers, and mentors.  Many of them don’t have lots of experience.  How can we support them with more grace, acceptance and resources
• Nursing needs to create a culture shift to truly support each other without judgement.  We can do this by honoring our past, learning from it, acknowledging it and shifting towards more self-care, resources, and each other
• The pressure of perfection does not always support us and can be a pathway to burnout, and Nurses leaving the profession
• Creating sacred spaces, where anything goes, where anything can be said, where it is safe to share and discuss.  This is different than a route cause analysis, or a clinical debrief, however… there is potential to create a sacred space in those areas too!
• Acknowledge the strengths in each other.  Acknowledge that you see another Nurse struggling, and ask them how you can help
• What can help you feel better?  Mindfulness?  Movement? Time alone?  Time with friends?  Going outside? 
• Including Nurse Coaching in all Nursing curriculum will support Nurses better on their journey

Debriefing to Heal Nurses- Tara Ryan Kosmas, MSN, RN, NC-BC, CHSE, SOAR

“It’s the backbone of how Debriefing the Front Lines kind of defines Nurse Coaching. 
We as humans are this collection of stories, and Nurse Coaching enables the client to connect with themselves through this intentional dialogue that creates meaning and acceptance in the story, during the good, the bad, and the painful parts.” ~Tara Ryan Kosmas, MSN, RN, NC-BC, CHSE, SOAR

•  We must talk about the suffering and trauma we experience as Nurses, even if it is difficult
• Alone is no longer enough.  Find colleagues, organizations and people who support you, pay for debriefing and coaching if your organization does not offer it
• It’s time to put yourself fist, in a loving, no-judgment way
• Cumulative caretaking trauma is a result of ongoing, overexposure, day in and day out, to abnormal and traumatic events, with no time for acknowledgement, discussion, processing, and recovery, that leads to emotional, physical, and spiritual suffering. 
• Part of the trauma Nurses face as a result of COVID, was a feeling that our systems betrayed us.  For example, lack of PPE and resources, Nurses having to work at the bedside while other professions did not, drastically changing protocols without much notice
• Psychological first aid, peer support and debriefing can be offered by Nurse Coaches to prevent burnout and improve turnover

How to Unlearn and Relearn in Nurse Coaching- Pam Melson, MSN, RN, NC Highlights

Ah-Has

• Learning, unlearning and relearning allows opportunity and possibility to unfold
• You don’t have to know it all, and it’s ok to change the way you do things at any point in your life
• Nurse Coaching is a beautiful beginning for healing whatever you want to support or heal
• All Nursing schools should have a Nurse Coaching component in the curricula
• Healers are more resilient when they acknowledge this ability within themselves
• Be patient, be still, allow alignment, as it always seems to align
• We are all just walking each other home
• Nurse Coaching is a means to find the home that is inside you
• The art and science of Nursing, plus the magic of Nurse Coaching
• Nurse Coaching listens to what the patient wants.  It’s not that we make the goals happen, we walk beside the client to support them in all their desires

Letting Go of Critical Care to Find Nurse Coaching: Nicole Vienneau MSN, RN, NC-BC 

“I said, “Well, I'm a Holistic Nurse.” And I've never said that before. Because I've always been a Critical Care Nurse. But through this journey of Nurse Coaching, I have uncovered a deeper way of being a Nurse.” ~Nicole A. Vienneau MSN, RN, NC-BC

Ah-Has

• When Nurses come together, anything can happen
• Make the ask.  See the no, as a next opportunity.  You are never stuck
• It’s important to know that stories and their meanings can change over time based on new learnings and understandings
• When you shift your thought process to what could become, your choices become limitless
• Nurses can ebb and flow into different specialties based on their needs, desires and interests
• Symbolism and meaning are important to each person’s story and a Nurse coach can learn more about their clients when they ask open-ended questions and offer silence and deep empathy
• What can happen when you let go of self-limiting beliefs and open to the possibilities?
• It’s ok to ask for what you want and what you need
