Episode #22
The Nurse Entrepreneur Mindset Building a Career Beyond the Bedside
Most nurses were taught to fit into the healthcare system. What if the greatest impact you'll ever make happens when you build something outside of it? In this episode of Dare to Do Nursing Differently, I sit down with Lorie Brown, RN, MN, JD, a nurse attorney, entrepreneur, and educator who has spent more than four decades helping nurses discover what's possible beyond traditional roles. We discuss: • Why nurses are uniquely qualified to solve healthcare's biggest problems. • The growing opportunities in nurse coaching, concierge nursing, and entrepreneurship. • How losing a job unexpectedly became the catalyst for building two successful businesses. • Why competition among nurses is a myth, and why there's room for all of us to succeed. • The mindset shift every nurse needs: stop focusing on what you're trying to escape and start getting clear about where you want to go. One statement from Lori stayed with me: "You have to know where you want to go, not what you want to get away from." If you've ever wondered whether your nursing career could look different, this conversation offers practical insight, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on what's possible. Watch the full episode and let me know:What does "doing nursing differently" mean to you? #NurseEntrepreneur #NurseLeadership #NurseBusinessStrategy #FutureOfNursing #NursesFeedTheirYoung
