MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey guys! My name is Francesca Etienne and I am the Founder of Beyond Nursing Experience. At an early age I knew I wanted to make an impact, be an advocate and serve my community, but I thought that the only way to accomplish this was by becoming an attorney. After a few months of working at a law firm as a paralegal I quickly realized that becoming an attorney was not the route that God had for me...in other words I hated it. I had two options in front of me. I could either continue my childhood dream of becoming an attorney knowing that I would be unhappy or I could do what most people are terrified of and start all over.
Let's just say that I am glad that I did not go with the first option. A few years later I am now a Registered Nurse. I am in a career that I love, maximizing my degree and making the impact I always knew that I was called for both in and out of the hospital.
Though I love what I do, early on in my career I recognized that there was an absence of a supportive community within healthcare institutions, I made it my mission to provide nurses with the necessary support they deserved. To fulfill this vision I created a groundbreaking conference series called Beyond Nurses Experience. BNE stands as an example of how individuals can transform their passion into tangible solutions.
