Rose: "There is something for every NP! I have been taking classes offered by the Elite NP since 2021. The content is clear, effective, and supported. Justin gives you the information in a step-by-step method to get your new venture up and running. I have been dealing with ‘analysis paralysis’ for a while. I kept listening to his podcasts and reviewing classes until I finally felt ready to pull the trigger. Thank you Elite NP for the information, encouragement and support to help us advance!"

Jeffrey A: "I am currently practicing independently now because of the courses being offered through the Elite NP. Justin's site is my go-to site now. The customer service is great the information is great. I strongly recommend any active nurse practitioner who is looking to break out of the grind and become independent to look into these courses and his site. Every time I visit his site I have new ideas for my independent practice I'm becoming very confident in my ability to keep expanding as an independent nurse practitioner. Again I strongly recommend any nurse practitioner looking to seek Independence to just begin taking a course of interest. That's all it took for me was taking one course and everything has changed. I wish you all the best of luck. And Justin keep up the good work."
