The Dr.Des Show

How Nurses Can Pivot Into Public Health Consulting (Alumni Blueprint)

Dr. Des

Enroll in Subcontracting to 6 Figures

In this alumni spotlight, Dr. Des sits down with Ghecora Boyd, Founder & CEO of the Public Health Nurse Collaborative (PHN Collaborative) and graduate of Subcontracting to Six Figures. Ghecora shares how she launched PHN Collaborative just weeks after finishing the course, why she intentionally bridges nursing, public health, and patient experience strategy, and the wins she’s seen so far—from abstract reviews for national/international conferences to RFP collaborations sparked through the community. You’ll hear practical advice for nurses exploring public health consulting, what clinical skills translate seamlessly, and how to build momentum on LinkedIn without waiting for “perfect.” Finally, Dr. Des closes with a clear call: if you’re ready to build your consulting business, enroll before doors close (or join the waitlist if you’re listening later). 

What you’ll learn

  • How to combine nursing, public health, and patient experience into a differentiated consulting offer. 
  • The course modules and decisions that helped Ghecora package her business model (LLC vs. other structures, niche clarity, early strategy). 
  • Wins post-course: conference abstract reviews, expanded network, and RFP collaboration opportunities through the Club. 
  • Practical steps for nurses pivoting into public health consulting (where to look beyond hospital settings, how to “bridge” skills). 
  • LinkedIn momentum: announcing your business, engaging intentionally, and inviting collaboration—without waiting until it’s perfect. 
  • Mindset + operations: time-blocking, building support systems, and growing while in a DNP program.
