Didn’t snag one at the conference? Now’s your chance. Available online while supplies last. | | | | Hi Nurses,
One of the most powerful steps you can take as a nurse entrepreneur is getting clear on your vision. Vision not only gives your business direction, but it also shapes how others see you and your brand. At its core, a strong brand is simply your vision, values, and purpose communicated in a way people can recognize and trust.
The truth is, whether you’re validating a new idea, protecting yourself from burnout, or exploring fresh career alternatives, it all circles back to purpose. When you’re grounded in why you started, your decisions become clearer, your opportunities expand, and your work feels more sustainable.
No matter where you are in your journey, remember this: your vision matters, your brand tells your story, and your purpose is what keeps you moving forward. And together, as a community, we’re showing that nurses in business can build impact, income, and freedom without losing ourselves in the process.
With gratitude, Nena | | Which Nurse Business Path Matches You? | See your future more clearly! Every business begins with a clear picture of where you’re headed. This quiz is designed to help you step back, look forward, and see which path aligns with the future you want to create.
| | | FREE Business Workbook for Nurses: Create the Future You Want | | What if your business could reflect the life you actually want? What if your next step felt clear instead of overwhelming? What if you had a guide to help you connect the dots?
That’s what this workbook was created for. From mindset shifts and clarity on your first offer to the legal and financial essentials, it helps you lay the foundation for a business that supports the future you’re working toward. | | | | The Strategy Syllabus: Week 4 with NNBA President Nena Hart, PhD, RN | |
Our very own NNBA President, Nena Hart, led a powerful conversation on The Undervalue Epidemic—why so many nurses are underpaid, overlooked, and overworked, and what you can do to change it. Here’s what you’ll take away from this session:
Why nurses’ expertise is so often undervalued The mindset traps that keep us stuck in burnout and low pay First steps to start owning your worth and building confidence How nurses are creating revenue streams that reflect their true value Practical ways to balance freedom, fulfillment, and fair pay
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been “playing small,” this is the encouragement and strategy you’ve been waiting for.
You didn’t leave the bedside just to build another version of burnout. It’s time to create a business that fits your life, not the other way around.
With that, we wrap up The Strategy Syllabus series—thank you to everyone who joined the conversations and replays.
| | | | Learning doesn't stop here! Starting September 23, we’re launching The Career Compass, a 4-week series for nurses who may not love the idea of business ownership but know bedside isn’t their forever home. Together, we’ll explore four fulfilling career alternatives: leadership, education, consulting, and non-clinical roles.
PLUS: New CE courses, conference updates, and more ways NNBA is helping you shape your future beyond the bedside.
