Dear Nurses,

This week we’re celebrating the 4th of July, marking the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted and the United States officially became its own nation. We typically celebrate America’s birthday with parades, barbeques, picnics, and my favorite, fireworks! I can’t help but compare the fireworks of Independence Day to nurse entrepreneurs starting a business and declaring their Independence Day. There is the preparation and planning, initial investment for materials and set-up, creativity, the launch and timing, risk and uncertainty, the spectacular moments, and community engagement. It’s a vivid metaphor, right?

The NNBA is passionate about providing nurses with information on the career options available through entrepreneurial models. We believe in diversification, not having all our eggs in one basket, to protect the financial strength and longevity of our careers. Attending NNBA’s Nurse Entrepreneurship & Career Alternatives Conference identifies options and concrete models that work for today’s nurses, as a side hustle or full time. The sessions and workshops are filled with massive-value content, contact hours, and provide a high ROI. Established nurse business owners can discover multiple ways to expand their current offerings. The sessions will inspire, motivate and equip you to go from where you are to where you want to be!
