Dear Nurses,

An important question to ask yourself is WHY you want to start your own nursing business. Do you want the freedom of being your own boss? Do you want the challenge of building something significant that touches and improves people's lives? Maybe it is simply that you desire flexibility and additional income of an entrepreneur lifestyle. It is so important to know your WHY because once you do, the HOW's start showing up. The How's are showing up in a big way at the Nurse Entrepreneurship & Career Alternatives Educational Conference July 21-23, 2022.

This not-to-miss event is where nurses from all over the country participate in a mixed agenda format, and networking that is incredibly powerful. You have probably heard the expression, if you want to travel fast, travel alone; if you want to travel far, go together. The NNBA has traveled far because of traveling with you for the past 37 years in business! Our strength is our richly resourced membership of nurses, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and mentors. The NNBA is a springboard for nurses looking to start a business, or to make their current business more successful!

In the last newsletter we previewed the 4 in-depth preconference workshop offerings. In this issue, I’ll share Friday and Saturday’s Main Conference sessions. Register here for this affordable and massive-value conference!

Joan Sullivan Garrett, MedAire Founder and Chairman of the Board
If you haven’t heard of Joan Sullivan Garrett or MedAire, you are in for a ride! As a flight nurse, all Joan ever wanted to do is save lives. In 1984, the loss of a young patient in the remote mountains of Arizona compelled her to pioneer global telemedicine–quite a feat in those days. Joan’s entrepreneurial story of what it took to build a multi-million-dollar international company will inspire you to break boundaries and realize your dreams.
