Description

In this episode, Justin talks with Kelly Dugan, a nurse practitioner who spent years in urology before realizing the field had an untapped opportunity: bringing urology consults directly to nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Kelly shares her journey from ER nurse to private practice, what it was like getting bought out by private equity, and why she’s now building her own mobile urology service.

They discuss the realities of credentialing, malpractice insurance, and billing, but Justin emphasizes a key lesson, don’t get stuck on small details. The most successful NPs focus on patient care, customer service, and getting started. If you’re an NP looking to launch a niche practice or escape the corporate grind, this episode will inspire you to take the leap.
