Starting a business as a nurse entrepreneur can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Inside the Collaborative Physician Network by IBA Nurses, mentorship circles have become one of the most powerful tools for helping new nurse-led practices succeed. These circles connect experienced nurse business owners with those just getting started, offering real guidance, encouragement, and clarity every step of the way.
Whether you're launching a wellness practice, IV hydration service, or primary care clinic, the right support system can make all the difference. Let’s explore how mentorship within the Collaborative Physician Network is shaping the future of nurse entrepreneurship.
What Is a Mentorship Circle?
Mentorship circles are small, focused groups formed within the Collaborative Physician Network that bring together nurses at different stages of business growth. These circles are designed to foster:
Peer-to-peer learning
Open conversations about challenges and wins
Ongoing accountability
Guided support from experienced nurse leaders
Each circle is built on trust, shared goals, and a deep understanding of the unique journey of healthcare entrepreneurship.
Why Mentorship Is Essential in Nurse-Led Business
Starting a healthcare business isn’t just about clinical expertise; it’s about navigating legal structures, securing collaborating physicians, building systems, marketing, and managing finances. Most nurses don’t learn these things in school.
That’s where the Collaborative Physician Network stands out.
Through mentorship, members gain:
Clarity on business strategy
Step-by-step guidance on licensure, credentialing, and compliance
Insight into avoiding common mistakes
Connection with collaborators and vendors
Confidence from someone who’s been there
This kind of support accelerates growth and cuts down on guesswork.
Real Wins from the Collaborative Physician Network
Many members have shared that their mentorship circle helped them:
Launch faster by receiving feedback on business plans
Choose the right collaborative physician with confidence
Overcome fear around legal or clinical responsibility
Price their services correctly based on industry insights
Stay motivated and consistent, even when things feel hard
It’s not just about having a mentor, it’s about being surrounded by others who understand the ups and downs of building a practice from scratch.
How the Network Builds Future Mentors
The beauty of the Collaborative Physician Network is its cycle of support. Those who start as mentees often return later as mentors, paying it forward and uplifting the next wave of nurse entrepreneurs.
This creates a ripple effect across the nursing community, elevating leadership, ownership, and collaboration at every level.
What Makes the IBAN Mentorship Model Different?
Here’s what sets this network apart:
Built for nurses, by nurses, every mentor knows your exact path
Practical tools and templates to reduce overwhelmBusiness-focused insight, not just clinical guidance
Support that continues post-launch, not just during setup

If you’re ready to launch your practice and want more than just a checklist, join a mentorship circle inside the Collaborative Physician Network.
You’ll get real-time answers, emotional support, and guidance from nurses who’ve already walked the road you're on.
