Financial advisors who actually understand nursing.
From bedside RN to independent CRNA, nursing spans a $70-$400K income range with real financial complexity at the advanced-practice end. Matched with advisors who work with nurses every day.
Nursing finances aren't one thing
A bedside RN at a non-profit hospital and an independent locum CRNA have almost nothing in common financially. One's focus is PSLF and 403(b) maxing; the other's is S-corp optimization, 1099 tax planning, and avoiding aggressive insurance pitches at a $260K income level. A generalist advisor who "works with healthcare professionals" often means "physicians" and the advice doesn't translate.
- CRNA school ROI. $150-250K of advanced-practice education debt for a potential doubling of income. The math works for most but not all — specialist advisor runs the actual numbers.
- PSLF for hospital-based nurses. Most non-profit hospitals qualify. 10 years of qualifying payments can forgive $100K+.
- Independent CRNA 1099 structuring. S-corp election, entity setup, retirement plan options (SEP, solo 401(k)). Big tax differences.
- Travel nurse multi-state tax. Housing stipends, state residency, tax-home rules. Common pitfalls that cost $10K+.
- Aggressive insurance sales targeting. CRNAs in particular get pitched whole life, annuities, and "tax-advantaged" plans that mostly benefit the salesperson.
