I frequently get asked...
1. “Why don’t you offer promotions like so-and-so?”
2. “Why can’t I tip you?”
3. “Why does another provider do this, but you don’t?”
And they’re fair questions.
The answer is that I’m a nurse first and a business owner second.
As an independent practice nurse, I don’t get to make every business or marketing decision based simply on what might attract more clients. My nursing practice is still regulated by the College of Nurses of Ontario, and I choose to follow the professional expectations that come with that.
That’s why you won’t see me offering promotional discounts on nursing services, soliciting client testimonials, or using client before-and-after photos on my social media or website.
It’s also why I politely decline tips.
Your trust, referrals and a simple thank-you truly are enough.
People notice that other business or health providers do things differently and naturally wonder why I don't do the same. I can only speak for my own practice and the standards I am accountable to.
For me, independent practice is still nursing practice—and protecting the professional nurse-client relationship, your privacy and your trust will always come before marketing.
So if you've ever wondered why I do things a little differently… that's why. ❤️
Nursing care is healthcare — even when it is provided through a private business.
