As the U.S. healthcare system continues to grapple with a historic nursing shortage, the proposed FY 2026 federal budget threatens to accelerate the crisis through sweeping cuts to nursing education, research, and Medicaid support—posing profound implications for workforce sustainability, patient access, and innovation.

As business owners, we all run into problems from time to time. Some are small, others bigger, and some appear to be colossal. For NPs in private practice, most problems fall into one of two broad categories: people-related and other, frequently technology-related.
