What does β€œNursepreneur” 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 againβ€”and if she planned to change it...
I joined 3 months ago, and with time, I’ve seen the mission take shape β€”with every nurse we’ve helped, it’s gotten clearer.
Her answer threw me off:
β€œIt’s not about learning to coach. It’s about becoming the kind of person who leads, who builds, who decides.”
And honestly? That hit.
Because entrepreneurship is not a checklist.
It's not one-size-fits-all.
It’s messy. It’s creative. It’s personal.
It requires a whole new mindset.
Which brings me back to the lab.
A labβ€”literallyβ€”is where discovery happens.
It’s where scientists run tests.
Try different formulas.
Collect data.
Make mistakes.
Pivot.
Repeat.
In the lab, nurses don’t just follow protocolsβ€”they innovate.
They test, they tweak, and sometimes… they discover the cure.
That’s what Nursepreneur Lab is.
It’s not a linear course or a polished path.
It’s a place to experiment. To try things that might not workβ€”yet.
To get messy. To learn how to think like a creator, not just a caregiver.
To take the skill set you already haveβ€”and 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 it’s time to show up for ourselves.
We’re not just building businesses.
We’re building freedom.
We’re building new ways to serveβ€”without burnout.
We’re building the future of nursing... and it doesn’t live inside a hospital.
This is about nurses healing the worldβ€”by stepping outside the system and building their own.
And honestly?
That feels like the real cure.
