Nena Hart is a Registered Nurse with a Masters in Nursing Administration and has a history of transforming stagnant operations struggling with their staffing and systems into thriving regions with high-performing teams.

Through more than a decade of post-acute care leadership, Nena has seen the negative effects of staffing instability on census growth, quality and survey outcomes. Nena was able to grow the census in her own region from 700 to over 1500 patients and opened 10 denovo locations, all in under 3 years.

She is a certified ACHC and CHAP accreditation consultant in Home Care, Palliative Care, Hospice, and Home Health. As the area vice president of operations, she led her region to the largest single-parent provider survey in the nation at that time.

She is a Certified Lean Healthcare Professional (CLHP) and is the Owner of Hart Healthcare Solutions, which helps post-acute care organizations take back the operational health of their organization, improve efficiency, stop the vicious cycle of critical staffing, enhance survey outcomes, and ultimately improve patient care.

She worked her way up the corporate ladder for over 10 years and was finally recruited to her "dream job" as a CEO in Hawaii, only to be fired five weeks later.
Left with a huge new lease and no income, she started her own consulting and coaching company, working from home, matching her CEO salary in half the hours, in her leggings.

She now helps other exhausted nurses embrace entrepreneurship and love nursing again with her podcast and coaching business Nurses Making Waves! She lives in Hawaii and enjoys reading, cooking, doing puzzles with her kids, and going to the beach with her family during "normal" office hours.
