For me, success coaching is the ultimate supporting role that subtly changes with the needs of each student.  It may be a conduit for learning strategies; a guide to the intricacies of test-taking; support for managing a wildly busy schedule; a sounding board for “what-if” possibilities; a reminder to seek balance in everything you do; or simply a safe place to take a breath and regroup.

I look forward to supporting you, however that may look, as you navigate your nursing education!
