How to Become a Nurse Coach

To become a nurse coach, you must first be a registered nurse with at least two years of experience. After completing additional training and certification, the process can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your level of education and experience.

A nurse coach works with clients to promote health and wellness by helping them set goals, develop self-care strategies, and create sustainable lifestyle changes. They also provide education and support to help clients navigate their healthcare experiences.

A board-certified nurse coach can only practice in states where they are licensed as a registered nurse. However, some states may have specific requirements for nurse coaches to practice independently or under supervision.
