This Course Shows You How to Start Turning Your Nursing Experience into a Profitable Business
You know how to assess complex health situations and hold steady in a crisis.
But nursing school never taught you how to safely start and run a business that provides your services directly to the public, or know if your idea will actually support you financially.
Until now, you've not had real guidance to turn your nursing experience into a profitable business.
The Liberated Nurse Business Foundations course shows you how to start changing that.
The realistic, self-paced answer to: “Where do I actually begin?”

Real Nurses, Real Foundations
This is an information-packed course. By explaining Business Models for nurses and protecting my RN license, it has given me a roadmap to put my Nurse Coach ideas into action. The videos were easy to understand, and I like the fill-in-the-blank assignments. The course made me focus on what was necessary and kept me on track.
If you're stepping into the business side of healthcare, the Business Foundations course gives you a powerful blend of business models, legal and ethical clarity, and the mindset shift every nurse entrepreneur needs to begin. It's where 'I want to be an entrepreneur' starts becoming 'I am an entrepreneur.'
I discovered practical, tangible ways to redefine and reclaim my nursing practice that creates true healing for me and my clients, frees me from the fear-based conditioning endemic to healthcare culture, and creates a sense of safety and stability in 'my lane.'

Learn from Sharon Burch’s Leadership
I’m Sharon Burch, MSN, APRN, PHCNS-BC, APHN-BC, HWNC-BC — a nurse since 1974 and a nurse entrepreneur since 1984.
I’ve built and sold five businesses, authored two textbooks and more than 40 continuing education courses, and served as a business consultant to the American Holistic Nurses Association, Hawaii Yoga Institute, Nurses in Charge, and other for-profit and nonprofit nurse-led organizations.
I founded the Liberated Nurse Business Academy because nurses deserve a business education built around their license, their ethics, and their reality — not around someone else’s.
Business Foundations is the course I want every nurse to have before stepping into entrepreneurship.

Everything you need to know before buying the Liberated Nurse Business Foundations course.
What if I take this course and decide business ownership isn’t for me?
Lesson 1’s readiness assessment and Lesson 6’s program comparison are designed to help you get to a clear “yes, this fits,” "no, it doesn't fit," or “not right now.” Either way, you'll have better insight to use your time and energy in ways that serve you best.
I’m afraid of putting my license at risk.
Lesson 3 exists for exactly this concern. You’ll work through a decision tree so you can answer your questions from your own state’s regulations, not from guessing.
