April 15th, 2026

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.

You didn't spend years mastering patient care just to stay in one lane. The NNBA 2026 Conference is where nurses who think bigger come together — to learn, connect, and build something beyond the bedside.


Over three days in Scottsdale, you'll get inside access to real strategies from nursing leaders who've built thriving businesses and carved out non-traditional careers.


Early Bird pricing is still available — but not for long.

This year at NNBA 2026, we are proud to feature Sharon Burch, MSN, APRN, PHCNS-BC, APHN-BC! 


As one of our featured speakers at NNBA 2026, Sharon knows what it takes to turn a clinical idea into something that actually generates revenue. At this year's conference in Scottsdale, she'll walk you through the real-world strategies behind building a business on your nursing expertise — from concept to scalable model.

Put your brand in front of nurse entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders who are ready to invest in their future. Sponsorship, exhibitor, and advertising packages are available — spots are limited.

Bonnie Kitahata, RN knows firsthand what it feels like when the bad days stop being occasional — and start becoming the norm. Instead of walking away from nursing, she built a community so nurses don't have to.


BreakingBurnout.com is where nurses come to reclaim their energy, reconnect with their purpose, and take care of themselves the way they take care of everyone else. Through her blog, podcast, and books, Bonnie is proving that burnout isn't the end of your nursing story.

A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


Something shifted this month. I felt it in every conversation. Nurses aren't just dreaming about something different anymore. They're ready to actually do it, which is SO exciting!


That energy is exactly why Nashville and Scottsdale matter so much right now.

The Nashville Intensive on May 1–2 is for the nurse who's done waiting. Small group, real work, your 90-day plan built right there in the room. Bring someone who's ready too and you'll both get 50% off with this code: BRINGAFRIEND.


NNBA 2026 in Scottsdale, July 16–18 is where that plan gets bigger. Three days of high-level strategy, including top-tier speakers who will walk you through everything you need. Early Bird pricing is still open so don't miss that!


This issue also features NNBA member Bonnie Kitahata, who turned her own burnout into a movement which is proof that your hardest seasons can become your most powerful platform.
