Holistic Nursing As A Solution For Burnout

What’s really driving nurses away from the bedside? It’s not just burnout—it’s misalignment. Nurses across the country are walking away from the profession they love because they’re stuck in systems that value charting over connection and protocols over true healing. In this episode of Nurses Out Loud, we talk with Sarah Scott-Weaver, FNP-C, HN-BC, IFMCP, a seasoned Holistic Nurse and Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, about how holistic nursing can bridge the gap between professional purpose and patient-centered care.
Sarah shares her own journey from hospital leadership to founding Entourage Health, LLC and creating the Holistic Nurse Certification Prep Program—a self-paced, online pathway that equips nurses with evidence-informed holistic practices, from trauma-informed care to functional nutrition.
We bust myths about holistic nursing, showing how board-certified holistic nurses are leading change in hospitals, clinics, and private practices—not as outsiders, but as innovators shaping the future of healthcare. We also explore how holistic nursing is a form of activism, resisting the mechanization of medicine and restoring humanity to the healing process.
Whether you’re feeling burned out, searching for deeper meaning in your nursing career, or simply curious about how to integrate holistic principles into your practice, this conversation will inspire you to see yourself not just as “a nurse,” but as a leader and instrument of healing.
Tune in and discover how you can reclaim your purpose, align your work with your values, and step into the role of a holistic leader in healthcare.
