Meet Nurse Haskins | “Transformational Speaker & Nurse Coach”

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nurse Haskins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nurse, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
I truly believe that my legacy is being created while I am here. I believe “Nurse Haskins” the brand, the woman behind the brand, the mom, the friend and nurse coach & mentor will be remembered for my HEART~which has always been for people.

I am always touched by the impact….by use of intentional words that inspire, motivate, cultivate and transform a community of change within the profession of nursing.

I would want people to remember that I became the CHANGE that I always wanted to see within this profession.

My motto has always been, “This is bigger than you” reach back and pull forward, serve others.

I never allowed my circumstances to determine, deter, or deviate me off my journey to success. I’ve always reminded myself, you are in control of your future!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Wow…..that’s a great question. Innovation and personal development. I am a doerer. I’m also a visionary. So, finding ways to balancing it all can be tedious at times. The brand, my buisnesses, community involvement and intentional professional connections. I work as a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner at “Brighter Health & Primary Care” where I am also the CEO. Outside of that, its “Nurse Haskins, creating DREAMChasers on social media, coaching and mentoring nurses and students to reach their highest academic potential and level up. Recently in 2021, I added, “Varian Healthcare & Wellness Solutions” my wellness consulting business in honor of the life of my son, Varian. It’s a great place to be when you feel like you are living in your purpose to serve others.

I’m also a non-traditional student who worked hard for everything from KFC to CEO of my own primary care practice, yes, that’s me. It’s possible.

I also walked across the stage 4 months after my son was tragically killed in a car accident, how, I have no idea; but yes, it’s possible.

I’ve learned that WE can use our story to impact and transform the lives of others, no matter how painful it may be, it’s going to be a blessing in the lives of others who see themselves in you because “This is bigger than you”.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Yes. Let’s do it. I love to entertain. I would definitely say a SPA day is in order. Let’s unwind with a glass of wine, and some self care to start things off. Brunch is my favorite part of the day, we can head to 5 Church Street, downtown, visit Ponce City Market for a stroll, then head over to Lenox Mall for some shopping!!
I love art museums, live music with cultural diversity splashed in or some old school R&B always does well.

I am always looking to explore new eateries, or arts museums.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My2HEARTbeats are the wind beneath my wings. My 2 children~ One is with me, and One is with God.

I am always transparently sharing my journey on social media and publicly to REMEMBER YOUR~WHY…..Well, they are my why.

Why I started 25 years ago as a Certified Nursing Assistant and never quit~ until I became a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner.

They were my daily reminders that I needed to keep pushing past any obstacles I encountered along the way. Giving up was never an option, because that’s what I instilled in them, we don’t quit.

You are capable of becoming anything you set your mind to become and I needed to be that example.
