It’s easy to market and promote NNBA’s annual educational conference on entrepreneurship and career alternatives. The conference, like our organization’s mission, is driven by its core values to serve, encourage, educate, empower, and connect nurses. As the president of the NNBA, I have the honor of speaking with so many nurses from around the country. I hear about their experiences and why, for so many nurses right now, is a point in their life that they’re looking for a change. In Nurse’s Tug of War: Do I Stay or Do I Go?, I wrote about this desire for change. In addition, I’ve been a nurse entrepreneur for over twenty years and I’ve experienced first-hand the joy of autonomy and fulfillment that comes with business ownership.

I have witnessed how NNBA’s conference changes lives. So, while it is easy for me to promote the conference’s value, I decided not to. Instead, here is what your nursing colleagues that have attended the conference have to say about its value:

“I want to thank you. I came to my first NNBA conference three years ago and it changed my life. The connections that I was put in touch with have been a part of my life and it only gets better each year. The nurses I’ve met have become like family and the business skills I have learned are benefiting all areas of my career.”
“Wow! What an amazing event, I have never been to an event with such welcoming and wonderful attendees and staff. You all are truly a step above. Thank you!”
“Building relationships that make a positive impact and the fantastic line- up of speakers building upon each other, and so much great experience shared. Too many aha… moments to count. Inspiring, informative, validating, and motivational!”
“I have been experiencing “burnout” and I needed a reboot. I have met such kind and helpful people. The conference was great!”
“Learning about starting and growing a successful healthcare business that I own says it all!!!”
“I learned that ‘I can have fear but I can do it anyway’ was a revelation. When speakers said some of what they each experienced and how they handled it, was priceless to me.”
“The experience, knowledge, and impact of this supportive community of nurses is amazing and I am so excited to be part of this wonderful NNBA nurses in business community!”

“I believe in NNBA’s mission of encouragement, business education, empowerment, and connections. I wanted to experience the conference magic that I have been reading about; I did!”
