Side gig/business while NP??

Specialties Advanced

Published

So I'm literally in the final 2 weeks of school. What a journey. I already have a great gig lined up in a specialty that I'm very familiar and comfortable. At 44, I feel fortunate that I had a great nursing career, and now have the opportunity to have a great NP career too.

Over the last 4-5 years though, I've dealt with a personal health thing and through it, I've really learned to embrace the power of food, functional movement, primal concepts, faith, spirituality, etc.

I would love to start a side gig doing some sort of 'coaching' or something like that, where I wouldn't really be using my NP license but would be teaching people how to take control of their lives. I eat LCHF and am VERY passionate about it, even wrote a couple testimonials for a physician writing a book and engage EVERY co-worker I can with education about it (related to disease management).

It's sad that in the area I live, there aren't really ANY functional medicine or integrative medicine docs, because if there was, I would be breaking down their doors!

Any ideas how I can get this thing going, or does anyone else here have something similar?

Are you talking about being a life coach? Sure, why not do it.
