Earn 5 CE Credits While Reconnecting With Your Creativity.
A continuing education course designed for nurses- evidence-based, restorative, and rooted in the science of well-being.
Build resilience, reduce stress, and rediscover joy in your practice through reflective, research-backed creative exercises you can complete at your own pace.
Feeling drained, disconnected, or like you're running on empty?
Nursing is one of the most rewarding - and most demanding - careers. But the long shifts, emotional load, and constant pressure can leave you drained.
That’s why I created Brave Beginner Art - a self-paced, beginner-friendly course that helps you manage stress, restore emotional balance, and strengthen resilience using simple, creative practices. You don’t need to be ‘artistic’ to benefit - just open to exploring creativity as a tool for healing and growth.
This course is for nurses who:
Are curious about creative wellness but aren’t sure how to begin.
Feel emotionally or physically drained from the demands of caregiving.
Want to prevent burnout—before it takes root.
Struggle to carve out time or space for self-care that actually feels restorative.
Want real tools backed by research and rooted in lived nursing experience.
Are ready to reignite their sense of purpose and curiosity.
Want CE credits that go beyond the usual—and actually support their well-being.
Are open to thinking creatively about their future, their resilience, and what’s next.

About the Instructor
Hi there, I'm Nicole.
After 25 years in nursing, I know how physically, emotionally, and mentally overwhelming healthcare can be.
Like many nurses, I spent years putting others first while neglecting my own well-being. I created this course to offer what I wish I’d had-a safe, supportive way to manage stress, process emotions, and reconnect through creativity.
Today, I'm a full-time artist, and I’ve seen how simple creative practices can be powerful tools for grounding, clarity, and resilience.
This isn’t about making “art”-it’s about caring for yourself in real, sustainable ways. If you're feeling drained or want support for your long-term well-being, this course is for you.
