Inspiring Conversations with Nicole Bennett
July 23, 2026
​
Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Bennett. Nicole, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey to becoming a business owner and a leader really happened by chance. About 15 years ago, I was working in medical research with three kids at home, and I began exploring what I wanted to do next. My employer offered to sponsor my enrollment in a pilot program to train registered nurses. Around that time I discovered the option of becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Psych NP).
