Beyond Bedside-Nurse to CEO

From hospital hallways to boardroom decisions — discover how a bedside nurse built her own healthcare agency and became a CEO.

As nurses, we give everything to our patients, but too often we’re left overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Beyond the Bedside: From Nurse to CEO is the roadmap I wish I had when I realized I wanted more — not just for my career, but for my life, my family, and my community.

In this book, I share my journey:

✅ How I turned a $300 LLC into a thriving healthcare business

✅ Navigating licensing, Medicaid, and contracts with PAS, HCS, CLASS, and DFPS

✅ Finding my first clients — and growing through referrals and community partnerships

✅ The challenges of staffing, leadership, and building a values-driven culture

✅ Why systems, policies, and trauma-informed care are the backbone of success

This isn’t just a story — it’s a step-by-step guide for nurses, healthcare professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to create impact and income beyond traditional bedside care.

You’ll Learn:

• How to move from task master to true leader
• The secrets of building trust with clients and families
• The contracts and services that can grow a Medicaid-approved agency
• The tools and systems (QuickBooks, EVV, Alora, binders, Google Forms) that keep your business running smoothly
• How faith, family, and resilience fuel the journey from shifts to success
