A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


I shared my story last week, but if you missed it—here’s the short version. I think it is worth hearing.


When I started my business, I had no income, no roadmap, and no clue what was ahead. I had just gotten fired from what I thought was my "dream job" after moving my entire family across the country. I watched the NNBA Conference virtually, sitting in my closet—scared, but hopeful (and a little desperate).


That single decision to show up changed everything.


It gave me clarity, confidence, and connections I still lean on today.


You may not know exactly what the return will be.

But I believe showing up will shift something in you—just like it did for me.


If you are still on the fence, consider this your sign.

Say yes to your future. Say yes to possibility.


We are celebrating 40 years of the NNBA at our Annual Conference in Las Vegas this July 17–19th. From pre-conference workshops to breakout sessions, exhibitor experiences, and surprises in between—there’s something for everyone at every stage in their journey.


We will be there and we would love to see you too.

step can change everything.


With gratitude,

Summer Reflection: What's Worth Carrying Forward?

It's only natural to pause—but not just for rest. It’s also a smart time to filter out what’s no longer serving your business.


Here’s your nudge for the week:

  • Review one part of your business (offers, pricing, client list) and ask: Do I still want this?

  • Declutter your digital workspace—clear inboxes, desktop, or unused tools.

  • Identify one thing you want to do differently when you return to full speed.

Sometimes growth comes from doing less—but doing it with more intention. This pause won’t last forever. Use it to clear space for what’s next.
