why nnba?
Your future as a nurse in business starts right here.
For 40 years, the National Nurses in Business Association has been the ultimate resource for nurses looking for more—more freedom, more impact, and more control over their careers. Thousands of nurses have transitioned from employees to business owners, consultants, and innovators with the support of NNBA’s training, mentorship, and networking opportunities.
That’s really because we get it—starting and growing a business is time-consuming, overwhelming, and sometimes even financially straining (especially when you’re going through it all alone). That’s why the NNBA provides the exact tools and network you need to shortcut your learning curve, save time (and money), and fast-track your success.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to invest in yourself and your business—this is it.

Right now, you’re focused on building your foundation in nursing, honing your skills, gaining clinical experience, and preparing for a career where you can make a real difference in people’s lives.
But maybe you’ve already seen the challenges nurses face first hand—long shifts, burnout, limited pay, and a system that doesn’t always value your expertise.

At the NNBA, we believe nurses deserve options.
So whether you want to start your own business one day or simply explore non-traditional career paths, we provide the education, mentorship, and network to help you get ahead—before you even graduate.

for nurses
Your Business. Your Terms. Your Time.
You’ve spent years—maybe even decades—pouring your heart and soul into your nursing career.
You’ve worked the long shifts, covered extra hours, missed family events, and put others before yourself more times than you can count.
You LOVE caring for others, and yet… something still feels off.
Maybe you feel trapped in a system that undervalues your expertise. You’re overworked, underpaid, and exhausted from trying to meet impossible expectations.
Maybe you’ve realized that your passion for helping others doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your own health and well-being.
Or maybe you know you’re meant for something bigger—but you’re unsure how to take the first step.
This is where the NNBA comes in. Let’s build successful businesses and positive change in our communities together.

LET'S TALK
Listen, if you’ve read this far, something inside you is telling you that the NNBA could be the answer you’ve been looking for. Maybe you still have a few hesitations though and your doubts are totally normal—but don’t let them hold you back.
Here's what you might be thinking...
(And why you belong here anyway...)
“I don’t even know what kind of business I want to start. Can the NNBA still help me?”
Yes! So many of our members started exactly where you are—curious about entrepreneurship but unsure of what to do next. The NNBA provides clarity, mentorship, and business training to help you uncover the best path forward. So you don’t need to have all the answers right now, you just need to take the first step by joining the NNBA and taking advantage of everything we have to offer.
“I don’t have time to start a business right now.”
We get it—nurses are busy. That’s why NNBA is designed to support you at your own pace. Whether you’re ready to launch today or just gathering information for the future, you’ll have access to on-demand resources, a supportive network, and opportunities to grow whenever you’re ready.
“I’m not sure I can afford this.”
If you’re serious about gaining financial freedom through entrepreneurship, investing in yourself is truly the first step. Instead of spending many painful years trying to figure it out alone, the NNBA gives you access to proven strategies, expert guidance, and a network that helps you avoid costly mistakes. So the real question is—can you afford NOT to do this?
“What if I’m not ‘business-minded’?”
You don’t need an MBA to build a successful business—you just need the right support, tools, and mindset. Nurses are natural leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators—all the skills needed to succeed in business. The NNBA helps you turn those skills into opportunities.
“I’m already a part of other nursing associations, how is the NNBA different?”
Unlike traditional nursing associations, the NNBA is focused entirely on entrepreneurship. We help nurses build businesses, create financial freedom, and transition into self-employment with expert guidance and support along the way.
“I just want to attend the NNBA’s annual conference, do I have to be a member?”
No! You don’t have to be a member to attend the NNBA Annual Conference—it’s open to all nurses interested in nontraditional career paths and entrepreneurship. However, NNBA members receive an exclusive $100 discount on registration, along with year-round access to our education, networking, and business-building opportunities.
“I feel overwhelmed just thinking about all of this.”
That’s exactly why the NNBA exists—to make the path to entrepreneurship simpler, more accessible, and far less overwhelming. Instead of wasting hours googling “how to start a business,” you’ll have a step-by-step roadmap, real mentorship, and a community that has your back.
YOU'RE HERE FOR A REASON
Success in business isn't about having all the answers—it’s about taking action, even when it feels scary.
Just remember, we are nurses like you—we’ve felt the burnout, the frustration, the longing for something different. We’ve felt undervalued, overworked, and financially stuck as employees. We’ve spent hours researching, experienced heartbreaking failures, and dreamt of being the changemakers in deteriorating systems. But instead of settling, we built something of our own.
And if you’re ready to do the same, then you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. With the right support, the right strategy, and a community that’s been in your shoes, turning your expertise into a business isn’t just possible—it’s completely within reach.
So Let's Do This!
