Your IDEL coach, the program that helps liberal nurses improve their daily lives

What are the difficulties encountered by liberal nurses? A nurse since 2015, I became a private nurse in 2018. This new status, although synonymous with freedom, revealed to me all the loneliness that could be hidden there.

Liberal nurses (IDEL) are entrepreneurs who receive no training in business management, finance or taxation. They then surround themselves with financial and administrative service providers, without having control over their activity. This stress is sometimes mixed with a harsh reality, that of tax adjustments and professional credits to pay them.

To learn this profession, liberal nurses are left to their own devices: I discovered it too. On Facebook groups of liberal nurses, they seek advice from colleagues who have followed the same methods. But this then means maintaining a biased vision of the profession and what is possible to do.

It anchors in the collective imagination the idea of ​​the “good sister” nurse, ready to sacrifice her professional, family and financial life for her patients. However, the idea in creating Your IDEL coach is to help self-employed nurses find serenity in their daily lives. How did you found Ton coach IDEL?

I have always accompanied my friends and colleagues who are liberal nurses. I was in difficulty myself, but I never wanted to resign myself to the difficulty of the job. On the contrary: I started looking for solutions to improve my daily life.

I shared my tips around me, then I launched myself on social networks to help other liberal nurses. There, several people came to me and asked me to help them. This is how the idea of ​​Ton Coach IDEL was born: offering independent nurses personalized support over three months to resolve financial, organizational or management issues.

I called this support “The Second Diploma”: school does not teach us to become liberal, but Your IDEL Coach aims to provide the right keys. What support when a liberal nurse requests Your IDEL Coach? I organize a first meeting with her to take stock of the situation: her daily organization, her geographical location, etc.

Then, together we establish a roadmap for the next three months, with a goal to achieve. It can be revised upwards or downwards, depending on the realities on the ground and the time available. Ethically, I never promise better turnover, an increase in the number of patients or employees.

On the other hand, my role is to change her way of thinking, to improve her organization and her visibility, so that she stops being subjected to her activity as a liberal nurse. The method given by Your IDEL Coach will allow him to adapt his profession to his desires and needs. How many independent nurses have you followed since the launch of Ton Coach IDEL?
