It is my strong belief that if we spend more time focusing on supporting and uplifting our colleagues, nurses would find greater satisfaction in the work that they do. Therefore I decided to create a monthly blog series: the Nursing Entrepreneur Spotlight – that focuses on exploring other nurse entrepreneurs and the fantastic work they’re doing. Since I’ve launched my company The Nurse Speak, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful business savvy nurses. I’ve learned that there are so many amazing nurse entrepreneurs out there doing some really groundbreaking work, and this month’s featured guest is no different! So please let’s welcome this May’s featured nurse entrepreneur – Keith Carlson!

CONNECTING WITH KEITH
I met Keith Carlson at the 2017 National Nurses in Business Association conference in St. Pete Beach FL. Keith was one of the many talented speakers at the conference, and I am very pleased that I got to hear him speak! During the conference, he was very approachable, knowledgeable and eager to offer to help aspiring nurse entrepreneurs. Since the conference, Keith and I have kept in touch, supporting and collaborating with one another and providing referrals for potential clients. I am looking forward to many future collaborations with Keith, and I hope to see him again soon at this year’s NNBA conference in Las Vegas.
