Launch Your APN Practice is an online learning course to provide advanced practice nurses with the exact steps for planning & launching a profitable, successful APN Practice.
Taking your practice from idea to reality is a challenge, especially when you’re doing it all on your own. Starting an APN practice requires clarity, drive, and persistence. Without a roadmap or guidance, the process can be overwhelming.
The Launch Your APN Practice Course saves you years of expensive trial and error. Plus, this course helps you navigate confusing laws you probably didn’t know even existed. We’ve already helped nurse entrepreneurs around the country, and we’d be honored to help you, too!
Whether you’re just starting out or you’re in the first year of practice ownership
The entire program is based online so you can participate from home or work.
All course materials – including easy-to-follow videos, done-for-you templates, resource lists, and worksheets – are within your personal student portal. In your personal student portal, you can ask questions, get feedback directly from your mentor, Veronica Pike!
There are 19 core modules of the Launch Your APN Practice curriculum. Each module contains an individual video lesson plus corresponding worksheets to help you integrate and apply the lessons to your practice.
You have lifetime access to the training! All course content is available immediately, so you can speed things up or slow things down based on your own schedule.
So if you’re working a full-time job, a part-time job, getting married, having a baby, or dealing with any big life events during the program, don’t worry about falling behind. The training materials are always here for you to revisit and review.
We recommend approximately 4 hours per week to watch the course content, complete your worksheets and – if you’d like – engage with your mentors and the community in your course portal.
Naturally, the more focus and dedication you put into Launch Your APN Practice, the more you’ll get out of it. But if you’re not able to carve out that much time at first, don’t worry. Many of our students go through the program as best they can, pause and return to it as their schedule allows.
You don’t have to do it alone! The Launch Your APN Practice gives you instant access to your course portal. In the portal, you can ask questions and get personalized responses directly from your AANE course leader Veronica Pike!
In this course you will find…
Attorneys are expensive. That’s why our co-Founder and healthcare regulatory attorney, Griffin Mulcahey, has compiled the basic legal templates you’ll need (i.e. patient agreements, employment contracts, etc) to fast-track your practice and save you money!
In addition to legal templates, you'll also get interactive checklists, guides, and more. With each worksheet you complete, you're one more step closer to launching your dream practice!
Even though you can take this course at your own pace, that doesn’t mean you’re alone as you learn! You’ll never feel stuck in our online portal. Feel free to ask questions as you go and get answers directly from your course mentor Veronica!
Your care and satisfaction is our number one priority. If you have technical issues or are simply having a challenge you need help with, write info@aane.us and we’ll take care of you.
There are three core parts – Plan Your Practice, Launch Your Practice, and Thrive with Your Practice. In addition to all 19 modules, you also get access to a comprehensive library of done-for-you templates, resources, and our Q&A functionality in the course portal – giving everything you need to kickstart your dream practice.
Here’s our exact curriculum so you can see the program is right for you.
Module 1: Patient (and Competition) First
Having a deep understanding of your target market is vital to a successful practice launch. This is how you will connect with your ideal patients. Once you discover who your perfect patients are, we walk you through how to evaluate your competitors so that you can build a practice that stands out!
Module 2: Visualize and Strategize Your New Business Plan
The beauty of starting your own practice is that you can make it into exactly what YOU want it to be. The problem is that most APNs don’t know all the options available to them …or they feel completely overwhelmed by all the options! To build your best practice, you need a clear vision and goal to steer towards. That’s why this lesson helps you visualize your ideal practice – how it will serve you, who you will serve, and what services you will provide. Then, we help you strategize by developing the roadmap to make it a reality (budget, timeline, profitability projections, etc).
Module 3: Planning for Financial Security
We understand that a big question and fear is “How much will it cost me to start?” There’s no need for any guesswork here! In this lesson you’ll learn the process of estimating your startup costs in detail. We share a perfect template for calculating your startup costs, which includes:
Feel secure knowing exactly where you money needs to go today and as you grow.
Module 4: Navigating Your Funding Options
There are a number of different avenues for funding your practice, from self-funding to traditional loans, venture capital, and crowdfunding. This lesson will help you make sense of all of those options and help you decide which one (if any) are right for you.
Module 1: Your Ideal Office
There are important decisions to make when it comes to choosing your office – from actual geographic location to the type of physical space you’ll need. Once again, we will guide you through all of your options and help you navigate the best choice that matches what you have planned and created in the first part of this course.
Module 2: Lions and Tigers and….. LEGAL!
Starting your practice usually begins with many (and sometimes scary) legal questions. You don’t have to figure it out on your own! In fact, this lesson will help you easily understand the pros and cons of different business structures (LLC vs. PPLC vs Corporation, etc) so you can choose which best fits your vision, as well as the state and federal filing requirements to make your business entity official … and awesome!
Module 3: The Best Practice Model for You
There are a number of different ways you could set up your practice. Do you want to build a concierge service? Do you want to accept insurance or stay strictly private pay? There’s no right or wrong. Just what best fits you. Here we’ll introduce you to the major practice models in use today. We’ll explain how each model works, discuss the pros and cons, and talk about how you get paid.
Module 4: Marketing Made Easy
You’re a nurse, not a marketer. We get it. But the truth is that marketing is what drives revenue – and therefore a successful practice. That’s why we created this lesson to help you set up the foundation for your successful marketing launch. You will learn how to build your brand, create your website, set up your social media accounts, and more.
Module 5: Your Best (or worst) Business Partner – The Bank
Making money is important (and great!), but where you put your money is just as vital to your success. Just like not all practices are alike, not all banking institutions are alike. And knowing the difference can help save you from many unnecessary headaches down the line. Here you will learn why it’s important to separate your personal and business finances; and how to choose the best bank for your practice.
Module 6: Insuring Your Practice and It’s Growth
There are 6 primary types of business insurance. We will help you determine which ones you need now and those that you’d like to have at some point in the future.
Module 7: Regulatory Compliance Before Opening Your Doors
Legal and regulatory compliance can feel like a daunting task for a healthcare entrepreneur. Learn what permits, licenses and registrations need to be completed in order for you to open your clinic doors.
Module 8: Maintaining a Culture of Compliance
Unlike other types of businesses, Nurse Owners need to make sure to cross all their “t’s” and dot all their “i’s” to make sure their practice stays within compliance. Learn which policies and procedures your practice needs to have in place, and how to create them. This includes patient policies, clinical policies and procedures, and employee policies and procedures.
Module 9: Working with Physicians
Each state has difference rules for Nurse Owners and how they must work with physician. We start this lesson by explaining the laws and regulations related to collaborating with physicians (if required in your state). Plus, we help you find and choose your ideal collaborating physician(s) as well as help you set up the agreement and reimbursement for your collaborating physician.
Module 10: Tech Essentials
The right software can be your best friend when starting your practice. Here we will teach you the types of software systems you’ll need to manage your practice. We cover electronic health records, practice management software, communication systems, telehealth platforms, and point of sale solutions.
Module 11: Establish Vendor Relationships
Vendors are another vital partnership for your practice. After this lesson, you’ll be able to determine which vendor relationships you need to start your practice and how to set them up. You’ll likely need more than you think!
Module 12: Medical Equipment and Supplies
Obviously, you’ll need to know where and how to get the medical equipment and supplies you need. Not all supplies are created equally, but you also don’t have to pay top dollar for everything either! Learn how to create an inventory of the equipment and supplies specific to your practice.
Module 1: Crunching the Numbers
We know that accounting and taxes might not be the sexiest part of starting your practice, but not knowing this information could really hurt you down the line! That’s why we outline basic accounting and tax principles for you. We also recommend certain software to help make accounting and bookkeeping a breeze. And we provide tips to hiring a good accountant. Don’t let Uncle Sam take more taxes than you need to give!
Module 2: Hire and Manage Amazing Employees
Building a team can be one of the best parts of starting your own practice! This lesson covers traditional staff roles, the key differences between independent contractors and employees, steps to hiring the right people, government mandated benefits and how to implement them. Your dream team is just around the corner.
Module 3: Compliance Continued…
In our business, compliance is a BIG issue. That’s why we have another lesson dedicated to the compliance issues you must be aware of in order to maintain your successful practice. Learn the three main categories of ongoing compliance:
As you can see, starting your own practice requires a lot of clarity and important decisions. It’s no wonder so many APN’s feel overwhelmed and never open the doors to their dream practice. But that doesn’t have to be you!
With this course, you can take on everything one step at a time. Plus, you’ll have an amazing community of fellow APN’s and Nurse Owner experts to help guide and motivate you every step of the way!

Absolutely. This course was designed for you! You can take your practice from an idea to a fully functioning business with the knowledge and lessons inside. Included in your course is a 1-year timeline and checklist leading up to the practice of your launch! After we walk you through the steps of launching your practice we teach you how to successfully manage it, too!
However – we recognize that sometimes you may not want to leave, but perhaps the timing just isn’t right for you, maybe something has come up in your personal life, or your project has had to be put on hold and you just can’t justify paying for something that you know you’ll not be able to utilize for a few months. So you can also put your account on hold for a few months if need.
Admittedly, this course was specifically designed for up-and-coming nurse entrepreneurs. With that said, we have had experienced Nurse Entrepreneurs get great value from this course as well. You can learn about different business models to start including in your practice. This can help you launch additional locations for your practice.
