| | | Dear Nurses,
It’s hard to believe that August is already here and the NNBA 36th Annual Educational Conference on Nurse Entrepreneurship and Career Alternatives is next month! We always see an increase of membership in the months before the conference and this is probably because NNBA members receive $100.00 savings off the conference price. Everyone appreciates a good deal, right? However, I’d like to share what nurses tell us are the reasons they join and retain their NNBA memberships:
“The NNBA is dedicated to empowering nurses through entrepreneurship, helping nurses succeed and thrive in business.” “Business success starts with a clear plan of action and multiple business plans are in the business training center that comprehensively covers categories of nursing businesses. We like and benefit seeing concrete models that work.” “We feel NNBA’s commitment to member support, providing connections, resources, and promotional opportunities.” “The NNBA has a powerful referral network and a proven track record of nurses starting and growing their business.” “The presentations and the conversations at the annual conference each fall are electric and transformational.”
Rhonda Adams, DNP, RN from Massachusetts and Anthony Watson, RN from Ohio exemplify how connecting through the NNBA and collaborating helped their individual and joint efforts in minority neighborhoods to provide mobile COVID education, testing, and vaccination. Check them out below in addition to Lynn Visser's, MSN, RN, PHN, CEN, CPEN, FAEN and Michelle Mattson’s, RN, BSN, MBA new books. Plus, health advocacy is showing strong growth as a nursing business. Melissa Cardine and Jennifer Whalen from the Bridge Health Advocates, PLLC. will be presenting a preconference workshop Create a Profitable Health Advocacy Business as a Nurse Patient Advocate. Check out their ad below for the next Keystone Program.
The experience, knowledge, and impact of our community is amazing - as well as the support that is provided to fellow nurse entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. You will have the opportunity to make incredible and meaningful connections by networking with many NNBA members who share your interests and passion.

Michelle Mattson’s book Scrapping the Scrubs is a guide for nurse entrepreneurs. Written from the perspective of a seasoned nurse, the book is a guide for nurses who are ready to "scrap their scrubs" and become business owners but have no idea of where to start. Intended to inspire those ready for a change in their nursing career, the reader is tasked with understanding the why, and examining possible avenues based on skills they already have. Success is possible as demonstrated by the examples of successful nurse entrepreneurs providing insight into their " how and why”. It was an honor to interviewed for Michelle’s book along with several other NNBA nurse entrepreneur members!
