Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur

06/11/2026

Nurses see things that many people never see.

We see the rushed discharges.
We see the confused families.
We see the patients who do not understand their medications.
We see the gaps in communication between providers, facilities, and family members.
We see how overwhelming the healthcare system can feel for people who are already scared, sick, or exhausted.

That is why patient advocacy matters so much to me.

Patients and families often need someone who can help them slow things down, ask the right questions, understand their options, and feel less alone.

Many experienced nurses already have the heart and instincts of an advocate.

But turning that into a professional service requires structure.

That is where many nurses get stuck.

They know they can help, but they are not sure how to turn that calling into a business.

My Self-Paced Digital Course was created to help nurses begin building that foundation.

It is practical, real-world training for nurses who want to understand professional patient advocacy and explore whether this could be their next chapter.

If you are a nurse who has been feeling that pull toward advocacy, I would love to talk with you.

Book a call with me, and we can discuss where you are and what your next step could be.

🍁 NEPAC is back — and it’s happening October 12–13 in Worcester, MA during peak New England foliage.

If you want to sharpen your advocacy skills (or learn what patient advocacy really looks like in today’s complex healthcare system), this conference is for you:
✅ Independent patient advocates
✅ People exploring the field
✅ Healthcare professionals who want to advocate better inside the system
✅ Patients, caregivers, and anyone who wants to navigate healthcare more safely

We’re building two powerful days of practical learning, real-world strategies, and meaningful connections — plus an optional social event to keep the conversation going.

Most nurses who are drawn to patient advocacy are not afraid of the advocacy itself.

They already know how to advocate.
They already know how to ask better questions.
They already know how to notice what others miss.
They already know how to stand beside a patient or family when the healthcare system feels overwhelming.

The part that feels intimidating is usually the business side.

How do I start?
How do I price my services?
How do I find clients?
How do I talk about what I do without sounding “salesy”?
How do I build something professional, ethical, and sustainable?

That is exactly why the Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur program exists.

My training is designed to help experienced nurses turn their advocacy skills into a real professional patient advocacy business with structure, guidance, mentorship, and community.

If you have been thinking about becoming a professional patient advocate, now is the time to take the next step.

Schedule a call with me to learn whether this path is right for you.

Become a certified patient advocate and launch your own advocacy business. Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur offers step-by-step training, mentorship, and resources designed for nurses and healthcare professionals ready to make a difference beyond the hospital.

The healthcare system is hard to navigate, even for people who have spent their careers inside it.

For patients and families, it can feel overwhelming.

Questions come fast. Decisions feel heavy. Discharge plans can be confusing. Long-term care options are difficult to compare. And in the middle of it all, families are often trying to make choices while they are scared, exhausted, and unsure what to ask next.

This is why professional patient advocacy matters.

Patient advocates help bring clarity, education, support, and calm into moments that can otherwise feel chaotic. They help patients and families understand their options, communicate more effectively, and move through the healthcare system with more confidence.

At Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur, Teri helps nurses and healthcare professionals understand how to use their experience in a new way by learning how to build a professional patient advocacy business.

And this month, there are several ways to take the next step:

The next NAE Cohort begins June 11.
The Self-Paced Digital Course is available for those who need flexibility.
Mentoring is available for former students and advocates who are already building.
And NEPAC is coming this fall for advocates who want to keep learning, growing, and connecting with others in the field.

Wherever you are in your patient advocacy journey, there is a next step.

If you have been feeling the pull toward patient advocacy, now is a good time to pay attention to it.

Some of the hardest moments in healthcare happen when families are in crisis, emotions are high, and the path forward is not clear.

In this Unfiltered Friday, I’m sharing about one of the sessions I’m especially looking forward to at the New England Patient Advocacy Conference: Ethics in Healthcare.

We’ll be looking at real cases, difficult conversations, ethical boundaries, and how advocates can help families navigate some of the most painful and complex decisions they may ever face.

Patient advocates have the time to sit with families, ask questions, bring clarity, and help bring calm to the chaos.

If you work in healthcare, advocacy, caregiving, or simply want to better understand this growing field, I would love for you to join us October 12–13.

And right now, we’re offering a special pre-launch sale through May 31. Tickets are available for $250, and that includes your conference ticket plus a free ticket to the October 12 dinner networking event and comedy show.

This offer was previously opened to alumni only, but we’re making it available during this pre-launch window.

I hope to see you there.

Starting a patient advocacy business can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming if you do not know what to avoid.

Many new advocates struggle because they:
- Do not clearly understand the business side
- Try to serve everyone instead of identifying the right audience
- Underprice their services
- Lack a clear process for finding clients
- Try to build alone without mentorship or structure

In Teri’s free webinar, From Nurse to Professional Patient Advocate, she’ll walk through what this career path looks like and how to avoid common mistakes when launching your own advocacy business.
