A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I've been thinking about all the things I'm thankful for. First and foremost, my family, my wonderful husband, our four kids, and of course, our dog Sunny! I'm also incredibly grateful for the NNBA and the amazing nurses I've had the opportunity to meet and work with over the years. What a blessing it is to be surrounded by people who are passionate about helping others and making a difference!

I also want to remind you that our Call for Speakers for the 2027 NNBA Conference in Virginia Beach is open through January 31st! If you have knowledge or experiences that could help another nurse entrepreneur, I'd love to encourage you to apply.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving!

With gratitude,

Nena

💡 Nurse Tip of the Week: Stop Giving Away Your Expertise for Free

As nurses, we're naturally inclined to help. But when you're running a business, it's important to recognize when a quick question turns into a free consultation.

Think about how often someone asks to "pick your brain" or sends a message looking for professional advice. Those conversations can quickly add up! So here's something to try: Create a simple response that acknowledges their question and directs them to a paid consultation or service where you can properly address their needs.

You can be helpful without giving away the knowledge and experience you've spent years developing. Remember: Your expertise is what makes your business valuable. Treat it that way!
