Hello everyone, I have decided to focus my efforts on another skool that will provide holistic wellness and lifestyle medicine education directly to patients/clients. I would love to have other nurses in the skool to provide helpful feedback to participating members. It is a paid subscription, but I will be sending each of you a link for free membership. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Please let me know if you'd like some assistance starting your own skool. I really encourage anyone that loves to provide content to others consider using their 14 day trial option. Thank you all for your participation in this little endeavor of mine. Greatly appreciate it.

Hello my fellow healthcare professionals. I'm excited to announce that I have STARTED (WIP) a new group called "Roots To Health". This is a private paid subscription group that will include similar subjects as we have here in our Nursing Revolution Group, but is geared towards the public. My dream is to have a group focused on lifestyle medicine and has healthcare professionals available to interact and participate in the health journey of the general public/community members. You do not need to be a "Lifestyle Medicine" expert because many of the practices are holistic nursing interventions. Right now, the majority of the participants are from American Samoa, an unincorporated US Territory in the South Pacific. I've been here on island for the past 2 months and within the last month have started a whole plant juice company called Tropical SOL Juice Company. Look for us on FB: TropicalSOLJuice. What I've learned: People want to be healthier and happier. They are open and willing to learn about their health and ways to improve. Its the implementation of these interventions that is the biggest obstacle. Culture, family and peer pressure plays a major role in keeping them stuck in lifestyle practices that are harmful to their health. If this sounds like a group you are interested in participating in and/or learning more about, please join our group for $1 a month. This is our "FOUNDING MEMBERS" rate and won't change for you. I'm extremely excited to see how this "Nursing Model" of care plays out and how participants and healthcare professionals feel about it. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to seeing you in "Roots To Health"🥰🥰🥰 https://www.skool.com/roots-to-health-6290?invite=6469eb746fef4cfca9b5efeb7efde961

When I tell people that I'm a nurse, they automatically assume that I'm in the hospital. "Oh what hospital do you work at?" I love saying that I haven't worked in a hospital since 2008 and that the best part of being a nurse is that there are INFINITE settings in which we can contribute to the health and well-being of all humans. I started this group to emphasize how much nurses can contribute to the health of the world, and it starts with ourselves. As role models, we have to walk the talk. We can't just "take care" of patients and assume they know what that means when we don't even "take care" of ourselves. I became a licensed massage therapist in 2015, but it wasn't until I got sober in 2017 that I really embraced a holistic way of living. Looking back at my life when I was still drinking, physically I was "healthy", but mentally, emotionally and spiritually I was "sick". There are two terms that are very similar, but not the same, holistic wellness and lifestyle medicine. Maybe you've heard that nursing is both an art and a science, and to be a great nurse, you need to know how to practice both excellently. That is how I think of holistic wellness and lifestyle medicine. Holistic wellness is the art of mind, body, and spirt while lifestyle medicine is the evidence based science of living using holistic interventions. Now, back to what does your work environment look like.......sorry for the tangent. 😉 For the last 6 months, I have been self employed. What does that look like? Well, I've been connecting and networking like a mad women. Looking for like minded healthcare providers and community leaders that are engaged in holistic lifestyle activities. I've traveled to the South Pacific to embrace my culture and to introduce, encourage, and support holistic wellness and lifestyle medicine to the community. In the process of doing all that, I started my own whole plant juice company called Tropical Sol Juice Company. With my uncles help, we developed a plant medicine juice that uses all locally sourced ingredients, coconut water, ginger, turmeric, moringa leaves, miracle leaves, and papaya leaves and made it palatable for everyday consumption. Oddly, this tropical island is considered a food dessert and our juice is one of the only ways to get fresh, locally sourced, whole plants in a super convenient way. I am having a BLAST sharing all the benefits of fresh plants with the community and reminding people of all the vitamins and minerals that plants have, and encouraging them to incorporate them into their daily routine.

I am here and I am ready to be a part of this movement ...que happy dance 😁

Hello everyone, We have our first content contributors subject posted in our ASHI classroom. Will did an AMAZING JOB and provided a very thorough and culture specific examples of mental health and American Samoa. Please take a look under the ASHI classroom- Mental Health Module. I'd like to inform the RN students that are preparing for their NCLEX exam that this study guide is available to them if they would like to use it. I just need the groups "OK" to move forward with that. Please VOTE! **Only some members have access to the ASHI classroom so not everyone will see the content.
