For over 40 years, the NNBA has supported nurses in breaking free from traditional bedside roles and building meaningful, life-changing businesses. Our community and annual conference continue to set the standard for nurse entrepreneurship.

TO SCOTTSDALE

Live sessions. Real connections. A room full of nurses who get it.


The 41st NNBA Annual Conference is July 16–18th and there's still time to grab your seat before the doors open!

Think being an introvert holds you back at conferences? It might actually be your biggest advantage.


In this week's live, Casey shares why introverts often make the strongest, most meaningful connections and how to use your natural strengths to network without pretending to be the loudest person in the room.

A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


Two weeks. That's all that stands between us and Scottsdale.


The 41st NNBA Annual Conference is on July 16–18, and if you haven't registered yet, don't worry... there's still time! This conference changed my entire career 6 years ago and I truly believe it can do the same for you. The room we're building in Arizona is full of nurses who decided to bet on themselves, and being surrounded by people who truly get it changes everything!


In this issue, we're also spotlighting some of our incredible associate partners. These are the businesses and organizations that show up for nurse entrepreneurs, so take a moment to explore what they have to offer. You might find exactly what you've been looking for.


And because we love showing up for you too... we've got high-value resources and workshops from NNBA members waiting inside our community. Don't forget to check them out.


Nursing has never been easy. But the nurses who've walked through NNBA over the past 41 years will tell you the same thing: betting on yourself is always worth it.


Your seat in Scottsdale is still available. I hope to see you there!

With gratitude,

Nena
