Abstract
Nurse practitioners (NPs) play a vital role in expanding health care access, yet many are inadequately prepared for entrepreneurship due to gaps in business education, financial literacy, and regulatory knowledge. This review examines the educational deficiencies that hinder NP entrepreneurial success and explores effective strategies for addressing these gaps. Findings highlight the need for structured business training, mentorship programs, and experiential learning opportunities to equip NPs with the skills necessary for independent practice. Incorporating entrepreneurship education into NP curricula can enhance confidence, improve practice sustainability, and foster health care innovation.
