Meet Sarah Michelle Boes
Sarah Michelle is a nurse educator, entrepreneur, top 100 podcast host, and founder of Sarah Michelle NP Reviews (SMNP) - one of the current leading names in nurse practitioner board preparation services. After the acquisition of her company SMNP in 2022, she now serves as the Chief Nursing Officer of Blueprint Test Prep.
Sarah Michelle earned her BSN from the University of Kentucky, her MSN in Nursing Education from Western Governors University, and finally her post MSN-FNP from Eastern Kentucky University. Throughout this time, she worked in a variety of healthcare settings from oncology to intensive care, while also simultaneously teaching nursing labs and clinicals at the baccalaureate level. Soon after finishing her post MSN-FNP, she founded SMNP with the goal of helping nurse practitioner students achieve two goals: dampening down their anxiety levels but also building up their confidence prior to taking boards and ultimately transitioning into practice.
Her relatable, transparent and innovative approach to nursing education has struck a chord with thousands of students worldwide. Sarah’s ultimate passion is to further propel the lifelong learning journey of the nurse while also bringing heightened awareness to the importance of mental health in the entire nursing education space.
Sarah’s Featured Keynote Presentation:
Forge Your Path: Cultivating Confidence in Nursing and Entrepreneurship
In a world where anxiety is often seen as a liability, one nurse's journey reveals how it can be a superpower. After almost being expelled from nursing school for a panic attack, Sarah Michelle Boes rewrote her narrative, transforming anxiety into a driving force for success. Realizing the traditional nursing path wasn't for her, she forged her own way, creating a company that has helped over 40,000 students pass their board exams with a 99% success rate. By age 26, Sarah became a self-made millionaire, demonstrating that taking risks and believing in oneself can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
This keynote explores the principles of self-empowerment and how to leverage personal challenges as unique strengths. Attendees will learn practical strategies for self-advocacy, entrepreneurship, and resilience. The talk will also highlight the broader impacts of personal success, including the ability to give back to the community and be present for loved ones in critical moments.
