Questions to Ask Before Enrolling

Overview

Choosing an INCA program is more than selecting a course—it’s making a commitment to your growth as a nurse and as a human being. Before enrolling, we invite you to pause and reflect on what you’re truly looking for at this stage of your professional journey. Reflecting on Your “Why” INCA programs are designed for nurses who are seeking depth, meaning, and sustainable impact in their work. Consider asking yourself: What is calling me toward integrative, holistic, or coaching-informed practice right now? What feels missing, incomplete, or unsustainable in my current role? What kind of nurse do I want to grow into over the next few years? Thinking About Readiness INCA programs are experiential and reflective by design. They invite you to engage not just intellectually, but personally and professionally. Questions to consider: Am I open to self-reflection and personal growth alongside skill development? Am I willing to engage thoughtfully with learning materials and practices? Can I realistically commit the time and attention this program requires? You do not need to have everything figured out—but curiosity, openness, and willingness to engage matter. Choosing the Right Program INCA offers multiple programs with different structures and levels of depth. You might reflect on: Do I want a comprehensive framework that builds core coaching competencies? Am I drawn to a specific specialty area right now? Would a cohort-based experience or a self-paced format better support my learning style? Many nurses begin with INCCP as a foundation, while others start with a specialty program and build over time. There is no single “right” path—only what aligns best with your goals. Considering the Investment INCA programs are intentionally designed as premium professional education. As you think about tuition, consider: What investing in your growth could make possible in your career and life How this education aligns with your long-term professional vision Whether this feels like the right season to commit fully to learning Many nurses view INCA programs not as an expense, but as an investment in sustainability, fulfillment, and impact. Listening to Your Inner Yes For many students, the decision to enroll is less about checking every box and more about recognizing a quiet but persistent inner yes. You don’t need to be “ready” in every way. You do need to feel aligned, curious, and willing to engage with the process.
