Christy W: I recently took the weight loss course and absolutely loved it! Very informative with meds, consents, labs ect. Also, the the general support of the elite NP team is amazing, I’ve had to directly message with some questions and the response and expertise is very much appreciated!
Taniqua A: The Elite Np is the truth! His weight loss course is worth every penny! I love that there were forms to use for my business, because I wouldn't have known where to begin. I love his drive and passion to help other NPs. His passion is reflected in his courses, podcasts, and the way he responds quickly to emails.
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.
Hi, I'm Justin Allan MSN FNP
I am the owner and author of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, one of the hottest blogs for nurse practitioners who want to break free from the shackles of modern healthcare.
I have been practicing as an NP for 7 years. I have worked all over the country and in many different settings. I became sick of working for others and not earning what I knew what was possible and fair. So I decided to venture out on my own.
I now own multiple successful side practices and businesses as an NP. My goal is to share the knowledge I have learned and developed to my fellow NP colleagues so you can reach a level of success that very few NPs will ever achieve. It is possible to build profitable practices and businesses as a nurse practitioner!
