Hey there!
My name is Ashley and I am proud to say that I am now a published author and Nurse Coach!
I have been absorbed in the healthcare industry for nearly 20 years, working as a Registered Nurse for the last 14 years and now turned Nurse Coach. My passion for nursing (as detailed in Just a Nurse: Memoir on the Heartbeat of Healing) has seemed to be a lifelong devotion of caring for others. I, like so many others, worked the front-lines through the pandemic where unfortunately my burnout reached it’s breaking point.
Left shattered and empty, with a debilitating spinal fracture and no hope for living let alone nursing I found myself on the losing end of a career I had dedicated my life to. On the verge of not renewing my nursing license, I decided to volunteer which saved not only my nursing license but my will to live. From there I took on the daunting task of learning to truly care for myself first so that I can serve from a full cup.
Now on the other side of burnout, I find myself called to help others navigate and prevent the detriment that compassion fatigue has on those who care the most.
Thank you for visiting my page and learning more about me. I look forward to connecting with you and partnering together to ultimately put caring and health back at the focus of healthcare.
