Bedside to Business: A Nurse's Guide to Business and Private Practice
Nursing gave us the skills to care deeply for others, but it didn’t prepare us for the journey of building a practice of our own.
When words like marketing, cash flow, and business planning come up, it’s easy to feel like you’re stepping into unfamiliar territory.
This book was created for nurses like you—the ones who know there’s more to give, but want to do it in a way that honors their values, their energy, and their calling.
I wrote Bedside to Business as a companion, not a textbook. Inside, you’ll find encouragement, real-life lessons, and practical steps you can take to move forward without burnout or overwhelm. Think of it as a guide to remind you that you can create a practice that reflects who you are as a nurse and as a healer.
Inside You’ll Discover:
Finding your zone of genius – clarifying your unique gifts and shaping a practice that grows from them.
Understanding your dream client – connecting with those you’re most called to serve in authentic, human ways.
Building ethically and sustainably – creating a business model that honors your integrity and values.
Staying in momentum – learning how to move forward one step at a time without losing sight of your own well-being.
And Just as Important—What Not to Do:
Don’t try to be everything to everyone—clarity brings more ease than hustle.
Don’t ignore your own needs—your practice can only thrive if you do.
Don’t get lost in comparison—your authenticity is your strength.
Don’t wait for “perfect”—progress is built in small, intentional steps.
This book isn’t about chasing success—it’s about creating alignment. It’s about building a business that feels like an extension of your nursing heart, while giving you the freedom to serve in new ways.
Many nurses who’ve read it shared how it gave them the confidence to start their own practice, or finally take that step they’d been hesitating on.
My hope is that this guide makes the path easier for you, too.
