Episode 1 - How Do I Use Coaching in My Nursing Practice?

Welcome to the Transform Nursing Podcast! I am Nikki Akparewa, the Creative Director of Transform Nursing and your host.  In my podcasts real nurses, have real conversations that cause real results.  I would like to introduce you to an amazing and dear friend of mine, Gail Haun, who is a master nurse coach.  

On episode 1 of the Transform Nursing Podcast, we discuss the overwhelming importance of nurses learning how to coach patients through active listening and reflective questioning.  In a one on one conversation with master coach Gail Haun, who has fulfilled many leadership roles in nursing along with coaching, we learn about how coaching co-creates the relationship between nurse and patient so that the patient is empowered to own their health and wellness.

You will learn that we are in the midst of a wellness revolution and that if nurses want to remain influential and improve patient outcomes they will have to embrace the role of coach in their nursing practice.

Takeaways from this Episode:

• Coaching is a leadership skill and tool
• Asking patients questions that help them think deeper is at the heart of empowerment
• Use cue cards or quick coaching cards to integrate motivational interviewing into your conversation with patients
• Understand the difference between leadership and management practices
