Integrative Nurse Coaches Are Transforming Healthcare

Improving health outcomes and the way patient care is delivered should be a goal of every healthcare professional. With over three million nurses in the United States, we have a significant opportunity to be the catalysts of change through a combination of our deep seeded knowledge, clinical experience, and holistic nursing skills.

Nurse Coaching Pioneers Unite

The Integrative Nurse Coach® Certificate Program (INCCP) was set up and created by the International Nurse Coach Association. This unique program is designed for all  nurses seeking skills leading toward certification with an emphasis on promoting wellness, preventing disease, managing and supporting patients with chronic conditions.
