Hi! I’m Gwendolyn – Wife, mom of two, NICU nurse and founder of NICU Coach and the NICU Survival Guide for parents! I’m a Montanan and am in love with mountains, crisp air and open spaces. My heart, schedule and hands are full, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

BUT YOU ALSO NEED PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

The practical experience

8 years of NICU experience in level II, III and IV NICUs and as a travel nurse

Means l've seen some crazy stuff

Member of the high risk preemie neonatal resuscitation team

Where many of my crazy stories— and PTSD— comes from

Worked in 7 different NICUs across the nation

means well-rounded education and support for you! NICUs are SO different from one another!

Dayshift and nightshift experience

They're different beasts, believe me

I've always worked full-time

Not on purpose, but it means way more experience for you. There's a huge difference between per diem and full time

NICU Mom

Gwendolyn’s real-world NICU experience, combined with her deep compassion for NICU families, makes her an unparalleled resource for parents. She simplifies complex medical information and offers emotional support to help you navigate the NICU journey with confidence.

I have a passion for teaching!

In multiple hospitals, it has been amazing to be a preceptor in the NICU for nursing students, new NICU staff hires and NICU nurse travelers.

I am loving being a preceptor for nursing students completing their 3-month NICU nursing senior capstone! Go top-notch NICU care!!

I care infinitely about the NICU parent experience

If I’ve witnessed anything that moves me to action, it’s the fact that I see so many NICU parents fall through the cracks and not get the support they need. I see it all the time. But in addition to providing that to my NICU patient’s parents, I wanted to offer it to more parents. It’s why I started NICU Coach and am writing the NICU Ninja courses for NICU parents! Be the change, baby.

Nicu Coach And Nicu Ninja

I started NICU Coach in an effort to expand my parent support efforts beyond the bedside of my NICU job. It’s my way of being there for more parents at a time when they desperately need someone who knows this crazy NICU world and truly cares about helping them through it.
The NICU Ninja courses I’m writing help parents become exactly that—ninjas of the NICU. My first course, the NICU Parent survival guide, is everything that I would tell you about the NICU if I had all the time we needed to give you the explanation, orientation and attention you deserve and NEED to get through the NICU in one piece.
