Dr. Katie Stephens, RN

I’m Dr. Katie Stephens, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, a certified Caritas Coach, and Nursing Excellence Consultant.  My mission is to empower nurses and healthcare leaders through compassionate, heart-centered coaching. I distill evidence-based leadership strategies and caring science principles into practical, transformative tools for personal and professional growth.

As a certified Caritas Coach with 20 years of nursing and leadership experience, I’ve seen how burnout and workplace challenges can dim the passion of healthcare professionals. I’m here to share that while these struggles are real, they can be overcome. 

Through Caritas Coaching, rooted in Watson’s Caring Science, I guide nurses and leaders to rediscover their purpose, foster resilience, and create caring, healing environments. Transformation, empowerment, and renewed passion are possible. Take one small, courageous step each day toward your goals, and watch your impact and fulfillment grow!
