A League of Your OwnAbout StacyThe cover story

Nurse first. Builder by accident.

Trauma and critical care nurse, then nurse practitioner, then founder of ARNP Collaborative, a direct-pay practice in Tampa Bay. I had zero coding experience. I built it anyway, and now I build it for you.

The cover story

Left field, then a league of my own.

Softball, fourth through eighth grade: I was stuck in left field, playing with blades of grass and getting hit in the face by the ball. My brain was in left field too. Basketball went even worse. I found my thing in cheerleading.

This site is named after my favorite movie, A League of Their Own. Blame Madonna. People have told me my whole life that I’m in a league of my own, and not always as a compliment. Fair. I am my own thing.

So are you. If you’re an NP going out on your own, you don’t need a corporate playbook. You need a website, an app and a back office that fit how you actually practice. I built mine. Let me build yours.

Professional doesn’t have to be ugly. Pretty shoes don’t have to hurt.

The short version

How an NP ended up building apps.

01 · The bedside

Trauma and critical care.

Years at the bedside taught me speed, calm and how to fix things with whatever is in reach.

02 · The practice

Nurse practitioner.

I opened my own cash-pay concierge practice so patients could text me and actually get an answer.

03 · The build

Accidental tech founder.

The software didn’t fit, so I built my own: website, patient app and back office. Now other NPs ask me to build theirs.

Scouting report
This is seriously encroaching on world-class development. We have clients who could learn from this for their own client interface, but they’re not customer-centric enough to understand why it matters.
