Do you want to form a joint venture with physicians in private practice? Get referrals from physicians? Collaborate with other health care professionals?
All to improve patient outcomes?
Do you feel that you have a lot to offer your specific patients/clients by training and teaching them to move effectively in their own body, lessen their medications, strength and flexibility, self-worth and again - improve their health outcomes through fitness?
Do you want to learn how to improve the lives of those you want to help, through fitness, personally and while working for yourself (or a company) from your phone doing virtual group fitness coaching and utilizing your home computer?
Then you are at the right place.
We are professional nurses with a specialty in fitness. We start with the medical diagnosis, utilize the nursing process and use exercise as our treatment in our plan of care. This company is dedicated to promoting our assessment skills as nurses and combining our fitness skills to deliver quality exercise programming that will bring us referrals and collaboration from other healthcare professional colleagues.

What's Fitness Nursing?
Fitness Nursing is the practice of promoting fitness through an integrated and holistic approach to people who are at all levels of wellness and health, including those with active disease. The goal of fitness nursing is to improve and enhance functional levels and a sense of well being, and to create a life long commitment to health and fitness.
Certified Fitness Nurse™Coach is the practice of promoting the benefits of fitness, life long waist reduction and reduction of all health-related numbers through supportive movement patterns and other integrative proven coaching techniques, to people at risk for metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and inflammation. The goal of the Certified Fitness Nurse™Coach is to empower the client to exercise on their own through self-efficacy and guided support and using the minimum effective doses of exercise, diet and supplementation/medication to get the client's desired result.

A Licensed Professional nurse (RN or LPN) who has enthusiasm for fitness and may often work with people who may require a physicians/APN's clearance to exercise.

This company will help guide any nurse who wants to explore the possibilities of working in the following areas as a Fitness Nurse or Certified Fitness Nurse™Coach or your own type of fitness nurse by:
defining what kind of fitnesss nurse you want to be. Then presenting yourself and your great work / your fitness nursing program to: cardiac rehab centers, physical therapy centers, physician's practices, clinics doing health assessments, health fairs and screenings, hospital-based wellness centers, teaching specialty exercise classes (post-gastric bypass & lap band surgeries, osteoporosis, breast cancer, arthritis, post-rehab, post-cardiac rehab, morbid obesity, etc.), providing your own personal fitness nurse training services, specialty bootcamps, coaching, professional speaking, selling information products (dvd's, e-books, actual fitness products, etc.) webinar leader, consulting.
Once you have defined your uniqueness, value and difference from other fitness professionals there are... Endless opportunities! But you have to project yourself as a fitness nurse, NOT a personal trainer or group fitness instructor who happens to be a nurse. When someone asks you what do you do, you should say, "I'm a nurse", not "I'm a Pilates Instructor", IF you want to be a fitness nurse. When they ask what kind, you answer, "A Fitness Nurse". I'd like you to go to "FN Overnight" link and get a more specific name. Become more holistic and inclusive with other health care professionals. Let them know what you are doing. Just a suggestion.
