·21 min·1 clip

Bridget built the Holistic Nursing Entrepreneur Program after finishing her doctorate and facing imposter syndrome.

1. The Functional Nurse Podcast episode centers on Bridget Sager’s Holistic Nursing Entrepreneur Program and how she built it for nurses starting businesses. 2. Bridget Sager is the host, a family nurse practitioner who teaches functional medicine and entrepreneurial skills to nurses and nurse practitioners. 3. The episode asks what the Holistic Nursing Entrepreneur Program actually includes and why Bridget created it. 4. Bridget says she has taught functional medicine to almost 1,000 nurses, and many asked for business support. 5. She says nurses in her courses often want to start their own practice after seeing that their current job does not align with their values. 6. Bridget describes her own early nurse-coaching years as a period of “reinventing the wheel” with other nurse entrepreneurs. 7. She says she and her friends repeated the same research on electronic health records, paperwork, marketing, and client boundaries. 8. Bridget says she found nurse business programs costing $15,000 or more and aimed at very specific practice models. 9. She says her target learner is a self-starter who wants instructions, time-saving guidance, and a checklist of what not to forget. 10. Bridget says she finished her doctorate, started an MBA program, and completed a digital marketing certification before building the course. 11. She says the program is 15 modules long and includes expert interviews inside many modules. 12. Bridget says almost two dozen founding nurses helped shape the course by sharing fears, wins, tools, and mistakes. 13. She says each module includes a “nursing spotlight” interview with at least one founding nurse. 14. Bridget says those interviews cover EHR selection, niche choice, service pricing, patient types, practice struggles, and referral networks. 15. She says the course also includes expert interviews that often bring discounts or connection opportunities for participants. 16. Bridget says module zero covers course navigation, community support, and short sections with videos, audio, slides, and resources. 17. She says the teaching style is organized and practical, with smaller sections because longer videos worked better when broken up. 18. The episode feels like a solo walkthrough, with Bridget narrating the course structure directly and moving module by module. 19. Nurses considering private practice and self-paced business education would get the most value from this episode. 20. Nurses who want only clinical content and no entrepreneurship focus may skip it.
