Meet Regina - Your No-BS Nurse Mentor
I’m Regina Burrington, MSN, RN, NC-BC—an experienced registered nurse, board-certified nurse coach, and founder of Trew Coaching.
It Didn’t Start With Confidence
Early in my nursing career, I cared for a patient whose condition seemed to be changing. I felt that something was wrong, but I hesitated to speak up. I was afraid of being wrong, sounding incompetent, and confirming the fear already running through my mind: Maybe I don’t belong here.
My charge nurse recognized what was happening and stepped in. The patient received the attention they needed, but the experience stayed with me.
I realized that self-doubt was not only affecting how I felt—it was affecting how confidently I communicated when it mattered.
I did not become confident overnight. I built confidence through experience, honest reflection, support, and learning to trust what I was noticing. Now, I help new and early-career nurses develop those skills sooner—without expecting themselves to be fearless or perfect first.
Why I Created Trew Coaching
Nursing school teaches you how to provide clinical care, but it cannot fully prepare you for the emotional and professional realities of becoming a nurse.
It does not always teach you how to speak up when you are intimidated, trust your judgment when you are still learning, recover after a difficult shift, or stop treating every mistake as proof that you do not belong.
Too many new and early-career nurses are expected to navigate those challenges alone. They are told that confidence will come with time—but they are not always given the support and practical tools needed to build it.
I created Trew Coaching to help close that gap.
Through honest mentorship, practical strategies, and the M.I.N.E. Shift Method™, I help nurses strengthen their confidence, communication, clinical thinking, and ability to build careers they can sustain.
What No-BS Mentorship Means
No-BS mentorship means you will receive support that is honest, practical, and grounded in the realities of nursing.
I will not dismiss what you are experiencing with toxic positivity or tell you to “just be more confident.” We will look honestly at what is keeping you stuck, identify what you need, and develop strategies you can use in real nursing practice.
This is not about becoming fearless or never making mistakes. It is about learning to trust yourself, communicate more confidently, grow through difficult experiences, and build a nursing career that does not require you to lose yourself along the way.
You do not need to become a perfect nurse. You need the right support to keep becoming the nurse you are capable of being.
