Nurses with a desire to work for themselves may consider building several different types of businesses:
- Nurse consulting
- Home care or care management services
- Nursing education or training
- Care coordination or patient advocacy
- Wellness or health coaching
- Healthcare staffing and/or recruiting
Launching a nursing-related business means thinking beyond care delivery alone and understanding how to build something sustainable. Nurses who want to pursue this path can benefit from stronger skills in leadership, finance, analytics, change management, and organizational planning.
Our MBA program is designed to help develop these competencies. You can build on your nursing background with practical business knowledge that supports your ability to evaluate opportunities, lead teams, and make informed decisions in a healthcare-focused business setting.

* BLS pay estimates calculate the median annual wage for various occupations. Per the BLS the median wage for an occupation is: "The wage at which half of the workers in the occupation earned more than that amount, and half earned less. Median wage data are from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey." Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook 2024. BLS median wage estimates do not represent entry-level wages and/or salaries. Multiple factors, including prior experience, age, geographic market in which you want to work, and degree level and field, will affect career outcomes, including starting salary and earnings as an experienced employee. Herzing neither represents that its graduates will earn the median salaries calculated by BLS for a particular job nor guarantees that graduation from its program will result in a job, promotion, particular wage or salary, or other career growth.
