Lindsey C: The Elite NP is an amazing program for nurse practitioners like myself who are ready to become entrepreneurs and branch out of corporate healthcare. Justin is always responsive, usually same day. He provides so much great content in his courses and truly cares about other NP's and their success. His courses are affordable and contain great education. I have learned a ton with the men's health courses, weight loss course, and telehealth course. Without his program and courses, I would not feel prepared enough to do this. He also gives me the encouragement I need to keep going when it gets hard. Between his courses, facebook group, and podcasts, there is a wealth of information. I'm so glad I found The Elite NP.
