A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that the journey to building something of your own is both exciting and challenging. Some days, it feels like you’re on top of the world, and other days, you wonder if you’re even making progress. Trust me, you’re not alone in that.

But no matter where you are in your business, remember that every step forward counts. The work you’re putting in now is laying the foundation for something bigger. My advice? Utilize every resource available to you.


Join our live calls on Tuesdays, get involved in the conference, and stay connected with other nurse entrepreneurs. The more you show up, the more you grow!


Don't forget your "why". You’re building more than a business; you’re creating a future on your terms. Keep going, I’m cheering you on!

Stop Wasting Time & Money: Use The Liberated Nurse’s Guide to Validate Your Business Idea!

Nurses possess a deep understanding of healthcare, and many have innovative business ideas that can make a real difference. The challenge lies in taking the first step toward creating a business that empowers them to help others while achieving personal and professional freedom.


The key to starting strong is validating the business idea to ensure it’s both impactful and sustainable. This essential process helps aspiring nurse entrepreneurs avoid wasting time, money, and energy on courses, coaching, or marketing strategies that might not align with their goals.
