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 September’s featured nurse entrepreneur – Brittney Wilson!

I met Brittney at the 2017 National Nurses in Business Association conference in St. Pete Beach FL. Brittney was one of the many talented speakers and vendors at the conference, and I am very pleased that I got to meet her! During the conference, she was very approachable, knowledgeable and eager to offer to help aspiring nurse entrepreneurs.
