Hello,
djmicu,
I think that most of the LNCs desire to have their own practice. At least that is the way it is with the ones with whom I am involved. Just had our quarterly meeting last night (about 50) and all are private practice.
I started out independently. Just incorporated this year. It is not asking too much. Actually, this gives you much independance.
I took the Vickie Milazzo course. You can see the ad above many of these pages, or contact:

Great to have you here. You have the experience to be a successful LNC.
Is it possible to start out as an independent LNC?
