What does โNursepreneurโ really mean?
At first, it was just a name. Something to get things off the ground. Micah worried it was too vague and confusing when we first met. Nurse + Entrepreneur + Lab? I asked her yesterday what the name meant againโand if she planned to change it... I joined 3 months ago, and with time, Iโve seen the mission take shape โwith every nurse weโve helped, itโs gotten clearer. Her answer threw me off: โItโs not about learning to coach. Itโs about becoming the kind of person who leads, who builds, who decides.โ And honestly? That hit. Because entrepreneurship is not a checklist. It's not one-size-fits-all. Itโs messy. Itโs creative. Itโs personal. It requires a whole new mindset. Which brings me back to the lab. A labโliterallyโis where discovery happens. Itโs where scientists run tests. Try different formulas. Collect data. Make mistakes. Pivot. Repeat. In the lab, nurses donโt just follow protocolsโthey innovate. They test, they tweak, and sometimesโฆ they discover the cure. Thatโs what Nursepreneur Lab is. Itโs not a linear course or a polished path. Itโs a place to experiment. To try things that might not workโyet. To get messy. To learn how to think like a creator, not just a caregiver. To take the skill set you already haveโand upgrade the mindset you were never taught. Because nurses already know how to lead under pressure. We already know how to adapt, assess, and show up for others. Now itโs time to show up for ourselves. Weโre not just building businesses. Weโre building freedom. Weโre building new ways to serveโwithout burnout. Weโre building the future of nursing... and it doesnโt live inside a hospital. This is about nurses healing the worldโby stepping outside the system and building their own. And honestly? That feels like the real cure.
