BECOME THE RESTFUL NURSE
How would you feel if you went above and beyond for yourself like you do for your patients and loved ones?
As natural caretakers, we feel wired to constantly be doing something for someone. But when we’re mentally, physically, and spiritually exhausted, we can’t serve God and our neighbors as we were created to.
The Restful Nurse Course
Course Overview:
The Restful Nurse Course is a self-paced continuing education course designed to support nurses in cultivating sustainable practices for mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through five audio modules with supplemental video, workbook activities, and self-assessments, participants will explore the science of stress resilience, strategies to restore physical vitality, methods to cultivate peace of mind, and practices for spiritual renewal. By the end of the course, learners will integrate these tools and create their own personalized Rest Care Plan to support resilience, reduce burnout, and sustain their health and professional longevity.
Course Objectives:
Through a self-assessment, learners will identify the type of rest (mental, physical, or spiritual) they most need in their current season and prioritize strategies to address that area of greatest need.
Identify and apply strategies and tools that support mental, physical, and spiritual rest.
By the end of the course, learners will create their unique Rest Care Plan by designing and implementing sustainable rhythms in both professional and personal settings by integrating evidence-informed strategies for mental, physical, and spiritual renewal.
Nurses who complete the course will receive 5.0 Continuing Nursing Education Contact Hours from Debriefing the Front Lines, Inc. Provider Number: #LT0308-0621. To find out more about DTFL, please click here.
Who needs rest?
✓ The nurse who gives every last piece of herself and feels guilty for resting.
✓ The proactive nurse who’s always looking out for everyone until she has no time for herself.
✓ The don’t-let-them-see-you-sweat nurse who never asks for help.
Remember, even God rested after He finished creating (Genesis 2:2)
A personal note from Kim:
As a nurse of 18 years, I know the weight of the work we carry, and how easily our own well-being can slip away. I created the Restful Nurse Course because I personally experienced how building restful rhythms transformed my life-helping me find balance, renew my spirit, and restore my energy. My prayer is that this course will bring the same peace and fulfillment to you!!

THE RESTFUL NURSE COURSE
Find peace wherever you are in 5 modules
Module one
Building Stress
Resilience
In this foundational module, you’ll explore the nervous system and how the physical symptoms of stress manifest in your work and home environment. You will complete a brief health assessment to understand how stress and unrest are impacting your body. This module sets the stage for building resiliency by creating physical, mental, and spiritual restful rhythms.
Module two
Cultivating Peace of Mind
Discover the critical importance of mental rest in your role as a nurse. You’ll learn practices for both work and home, such as mindfulness and somatic exercises, to help you stay grounded and fully present. By cultivating peace of mind, you’ll enhance your focus, reduce burnout, and maintain a healthier work-life balance.
Module three
Restoring Your Physical Vitality
Learn how to renew your energy and well-being through physical practices. You’ll focus on incorporating joyful movement into your daily routine, setting the stage for quality sleep, and making nourishing meal choices. By prioritizing your physical vitality, you’ll enhance your stamina, improve overall health, and maintain the strength needed to care for yourself and others effectively.
Module four
Renewing Your Spirit
In this section, we delve into Christian spiritual practices like prayer, gratitude, and meditation, which provide a deep sense of peace and hope beyond what you can achieve on your own. These practices bring purpose and meaning to your work and life. It is ultimately through Jesus that your self-care practices can truly renew your spirit and sustain you in your journey.
Module FIVE
The Rested and Regulated Nurse
This final module brings together all of the insights and practices from the course to help you develop your own personalized rest care plan. By integrating physical, mental, and spiritual restful rhythms, you will create a comprehensive approach to becoming The Restful Nurse!
Here’s what others have said after completing the Restful Nurse Course:
“This was an AMAZING course. Your passion on this subject really shines through…”
“…and I do believe it was your calling to make this course! The workbook is so beautifully designed and well thought out. It’s simple to follow yet includes so many great tools. Your voice is so calm and soothing in the audio recordings and I appreciate how encouraging you were throughout the course. I love the real world examples and how it’s all so relatable. I’m excited for more people to get the opportunity to take it because it truly was so helpful. I am practicing a lot of the things you taught in the course and I’m excited to see the long term benefits!!”
~Kelsey A.
“If you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you've lost your spark for nursing, please consider giving yourself the gift of the Restful Nurse Course!”
Over the past 6 months, l've had the privilege of completing the course on my own timeline, learning new and very specific types of exhaustion, signs of burnout, and in turn specific types of rest needed to feel like I have energy for the profession of nursing again. The course walks you through types of rest needed including physical, mental, and spiritual. It helped me identify specific signs of when I need to rest and develop a personalized plan of what to do when that happens.
There is much peace in validating and recognizing the challenges of caregiving, both professionally and then at home parenting and/or caring for others.
So thankful for this course. Kim, you have done an incredible job bringing this to the world!
Thank You!!”
~Dana C.
What happens when you ground into restful rhythms?
Renew your resiliency
As a nurse, you always need to be the strong one. Find new ways to ground yourself in those most stressful moments, so they remain moments and not eras.
Restore your peace
Balance comes from setting an example of rest. When you’re at peace with yourself, you’ll be able to pour into your friends, family, and patients.
Realize your wellness
When you care for your body, mind, and soul, wellness becomes a habit, not a prescription.

You might be thinking…
✗ I already rest
That’s so good to hear! This course will go deeper than taking your scheduled breaks or making sure you’re getting good sleep (although those things are so important!). The Restful Nurse will offer you concrete steps to create lasting, sustainable change in your life that you can return to when work and life get challenging.
✗ Self-care is selfish
It’s true that we live in a culture where the self seems to be the highest priority. Yet in its simplest form, self-care is about caring for what God has given us. This means that rest should be part of a holy vocation.
✗ I don’t have time to do this
I know how it feels to be pulled in a million directions. But because you’re here, I know you desire something more for yourself and know that what you’re doing now isn’t sustainable. The lessons in the course can be completed in less time than it takes you to read this webpage, and the few moments you spend on activities will help you manage stress more effectively, giving you a renewed sense of presence and purpose.
