Learn what’s possible as a board-certified Nurse Coach—and how private practice works.
Yes, many Nurse Coaches choose to open their own independent private practices, focusing on lifestyle health, wellness, prevention, and behavior change. There is no requirement for physician oversight or clinical supervision to operate a Nurse Coaching practice.
Nurse Coaches typically operate as wellness professionals, and most offer private pay services. Clients often pay out of pocket and may submit receipts for reimbursement through their Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), or in some cases, private insurance.
INCCP includes a Professional Practice Branch specifically for those pursuing private practice. This self-paced track guides you through foundational business steps—such as legal setup, branding, marketing, pricing, and ethical considerations—so you can launch with clarity and confidence.
If your vision includes entrepreneurship, this program fully supports that pathway.
