About Vernon L. Williams – Stress Prevention Coach for Bedside Nurses

My life’s work is centered on helping people reduce stress.

My Connection With Bedside Nurses

For more than 20 years, I was a patient advocate working alongside bedside nurses.

That experience gave me an up-close view of the extraordinary demands placed on nurses.

I saw nurses dealing with difficult patients, unexpected situations, heavy workloads, emotional demands, and the stress that can come with caring for others day after day.

Drawing upon my training in Applied Behavioral Science and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I began coaching nurses on how to reduce stress. After coaching several nurses, they realized they could reduce their stress by changing their thinking.

I found that work deeply rewarding.

It eventually led me to write:

Calm in the Chaos: How Bedside Nurses Can Prevent Stress, Avoid Burnout and Stay Centered During Every Shift

and to develop:

Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program

These resources represent my specialized work with bedside nurses.

My Background

I hold a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavioral Science from Johns Hopkins University. I have studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have also spent more than 20 years as a patient and have authored 14 personal development books.

I have conducted webinars on stress prevention for multiple entities.

My academic background, professional experience, writing, and years of working directly with people have all contributed to the approach I use today.

My credentials and experience are only part of the story.

What matters most to me is helping people.
