The Elite Nurse Practitioner Show

Episode 134: Veteran NP

Justin Allan, FNP Episode 134

Today we speak with Kimberly, an adult and women’s health nurse practitioner working in the VA hospital system. A Navy veteran, Kimberly pivoted to an NP career after working as a dental hygienist for over 20 years. She plans to work under the federal medical system to earn a substantial pension, while simultaneously operating her own practice to generate supplementary income.  


In this episode, Kimberly learns how to bring her practice to life. She has all the puzzle pieces needed to flourish in her field: an LLC, a payment processing platform, a telemedicine model, and a potential brick and mortar location. Justin uses his expertise to give Kimberly actionable steps for the creation of a thriving business. We cover the ideal strategies for developing a niche, running a cash-only practice, dealing with competition from large-scale healthcare entities, and more.
