Fitness Nurse Overnight: Warning, this info is my opinion and I only make suggestions.
It is my hope is that it'll help you to get creative and start thinking about titles and who you want to help.
OVERNIGHT FITNESS NURSE:
Please listen first...
Here are some titles I came up with:
1.Behavioral Health/ Psych Nursing (Weight loss starts between the ears, poor
self-esteem, depression, poor body image) Behavioral Health Fitness Nurse
2. Cardiac Nursing (Cardiac training post cardiac rehab) Cardiac Fitness Nurse
3. Community Health Nursing (Community exercise programs for specialty populations)
Community Health Fitness Nurse
4.Gastroenterology Nursing (Exercise and peristalsis for constipation, absorption, GERD) G.I. Fitness Nurse
5.Geriatric Nursing (restorative, strength, balance, flexibility, osteoporosis, ALZ)
Adult/Elder/Senior Care Fitness Nurse
6.Oncology Nursing (Breast cancer exercise certs., etc.) Oncology Fitness Nurse
specializing in exercise for breast cancer survivors/thrivers.
7. Maternal/Child Nursing (follow ACOG requirements) Post-Natal Fitness Nurse
8. Pediatric Nursing (various ages, hyperactivity, childhood obesity) Pediatric Fitness
Nurse
9. School Nursing - same as pediatric in your specialty (school age children)
10. Holistic Nursing (yoga, Tai Chi, reiki) Holistic Fitness Nurse
11. Orthopedic Nursing (Post rehab) Orthopedic Fitness Nurse
12. Rehab/Restorative Nursing (post-rehab), Restorative Fitness Nurse
13. Medical/Surgical Nursing (many chronic health problems fall under here that can be improved through exercise) Like Diabetes, Arthritis, Asthma, Osteoporosis, Hypertension, Obesity, etc. Fitness Nurse SPECIALIZING in Diabetes. OR Fitness Nurse SPECIALIZING in chronic diseases. OR you can always say Adult Care Fitness Nurse. You can even use a "type" of training and eating to label or brand your fitness nursing services.
Here’s an example of what I've said and written in past marketing:
Specializing in exercise and health coaching for:
Waist Reduction and
Bone health for women over 35 who are ready to stop eating rabbit food!
When I work with clients I usually train 2-4 people at a time, often in small groups in proper exercise for waist reduction, bone health (very few privates). The rest I help over the computer and the phone.
May also use:
Disease processes such as - Diabetic Fitness Nurse, Cancer Fitness Nurse, Osteo-Care Fitness Nurse, etc. Sometimes we may think we don’t want to be labeled; but people need to know what kind of nurse you are and how you will bring that experience to your fitness sessions that they will pay for.
You can also name yourself after a movement like, "The Green Fitness Nurse" or "The Pilates Fitness Nurse".
Remember if you just want to work with “so-called healthy people”, you are not looking at your neighbors, real people. Please don't think "healthy" means people on the Lucille Roberts commercials. You also will be most likely competing with personal trainers and other fitness professionals training "healthy" people.
If you are stuck on a title, e-mail me with your ideas. You may also use any of the titles I have listed here.

4. Private one-on-one Fitness Nursing Coaching
Monthly coaching packages that help you answer the questions of:
- How do I start? I'm not sure where I want to work or where to start?
- What if I fail? Getting comfortable in taking action and changing your mind and learning as you go.
- In what ways are you self qualified as an authority in fitness nursing. We work on building this all-important self-confidence step. You'd be surprised how qualified you are right now, but are just not aware.
- We address the common fears of taking your ideas and gifts and offering them to others in exchange for money.
- How to combine doing what you love with making a contribution with making money and how that equals fulfillment; more important than happiness.
- How to identify an existing market with people who are actively seeking your solution.
- Getting clear on what is your solution?
- What is your offer and how will your deliver it?
- Who is your 'ideal client' and what's in it for them?
- How will your client be different after working with you?
You will receive 4 weekly 45-minute coaching session, e-maill support and accountability standards from week to week. You are given the 'road map'. We walk it together. You discover the transformation that you will give to your ideal clients. The "How" for them.
When I hired a coach, I lost every old client I had who paid me $97.00 a month. But I gained new private 'ideal' clients at $500.00 a month who were more invested and got much better results because of their investment in their self; not so much their investment in me. What a shift in my money consciousness!
As nurses and empathetic, caring people this is where we really need a drastic shift in attitude and feelings about money!
Currently, I am in the process of putting up a payment page for this one-on-one fitness nursing coaching. If you need to contact me immediately, please do so at: info@fitnessnursing.com and or call me at (732) 620-2193. Ask for Lori.
