I’m really looking forward to this year’s 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭, and I’ll be speaking twice during the three-day event.

I’ll open the summit on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟏𝟏:𝟎𝟎 𝐀𝐌–𝟏𝟐:𝟎𝟎 𝐏𝐌 𝐄𝐓 with:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫

This will be a chance to step back and look at what we’re seeing across the functional nursing community—what nurses and NPs are asking for, how the field is evolving, what we’re learning through education and partnerships, results from the 2026 State of Functional Nursing Survey, and where I think some of the biggest opportunities are ahead.

Then I’ll close the summit on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟓:𝟑𝟎–𝟔:𝟑𝟎 𝐏𝐌 𝐄𝐓 with:

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞

For this session, I’ll share some of the recurring lessons I’ve seen from RNs and NPs creating new businesses, services, roles, and models of care—including what tends to help people move forward and what often gets in the way.

The full summit is 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥, with 15 sessions over three days covering functional medicine, whole-person care, research, clinical innovation, entrepreneurship, and new possibilities for RNs and NPs.

If that sounds like your world—or the world you’re trying to move toward—I’d love to have you there.

If you’re a nurse who’s ever felt like something’s missing in how we treat patients, this one’s for you.

The real issue: functional medicine looks at the root cause, not just the symptom.

But here’s the gap: most nurses were never taught how to practice that way safely, confidently, and within scope.

Here’s the truth: nurses are already the ones positioned to close that gap. You’re who patients trust, and the one spending the most time with them.

This is where IFN comes in: real tools, real confidence, without stepping outside your license.
