In this episode of The Functional Nurse Podcast, Samantha Hamilton MSN-Ed, RN sat down with Jessica Spradley, RN, BSN, a former Navy corpsman, emergency department nurse, and Functional Nursing Program student, to discuss her journey into functional medicine and her new role in a functional medicine clinic.

Jessica shared how she applies functional nursing principles in the emergency department through practical nutrition education, root cause thinking, and small, meaningful lifestyle changes. She also discussed her experience with functional lab testing, the GI-MAP, and the elimination diet, and how they transformed both her personal health and nursing practice.

If you missed this episode when it first aired, go listen now. It's an inspiring conversation for nurses wondering how functional nursing can fit into traditional healthcare while creating a more meaningful career.

I’m really looking forward to this year’s 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭, and I’ll be speaking twice during the three-day event.

I’ll open the summit on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟏𝟏:𝟎𝟎 𝐀𝐌–𝟏𝟐:𝟎𝟎 𝐏𝐌 𝐄𝐓 with:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫

This will be a chance to step back and look at what we’re seeing across the functional nursing community—what nurses and NPs are asking for, how the field is evolving, what we’re learning through education and partnerships, results from the 2026 State of Functional Nursing Survey, and where I think some of the biggest opportunities are ahead.

Then I’ll close the summit on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟓:𝟑𝟎–𝟔:𝟑𝟎 𝐏𝐌 𝐄𝐓 with:

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞

For this session, I’ll share some of the recurring lessons I’ve seen from RNs and NPs creating new businesses, services, roles, and models of care—including what tends to help people move forward and what often gets in the way.

The full summit is 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥, with 15 sessions over three days covering functional medicine, whole-person care, research, clinical innovation, entrepreneurship, and new possibilities for RNs and NPs.

If that sounds like your world—or the world you’re trying to move toward—I’d love to have you there.

If you’re a nurse who’s ever felt like something’s missing in how we treat patients, this one’s for you.

The real issue: functional medicine looks at the root cause, not just the symptom.

But here’s the gap: most nurses were never taught how to practice that way safely, confidently, and within scope.

Here’s the truth: nurses are already the ones positioned to close that gap. You’re who patients trust, and the one spending the most time with them.

This is where IFN comes in: real tools, real confidence, without stepping outside your license.

What if the first step to starting your own nursing practice isn't launching a business, but simply finding out who's interested?

In this episode of The Functional Nurse Podcast, Dr. Brigitte Sager explores how nurses and nurse practitioners can take a small but powerful first step toward entrepreneurship by building a waitlist before they're ready to launch. From overcoming imposter syndrome and finding your niche to understanding what potential clients actually need, Brigitte shares practical strategies for building confidence and exploring opportunities without the pressure of having everything figured out. You'll learn how a simple waitlist can help you gauge interest, gather valuable insights, and create momentum while staying mindful of your scope of practice and professional boundaries. Whether you're dreaming of starting a functional nursing practice, exploring nurse coaching, or simply wondering what's possible beyond traditional healthcare, this episode is full of encouragement and actionable advice to help you move forward!

I'd love the group's help with something that I think could give us an interesting snapshot of this community and the larger field.

The Institute for Functional Nursing™ is conducting a 2026 State of Functional Nursing Survey, and I'm hoping to hear from nurses and nurse practitioners across a wide range of roles and stages.

The survey looks at how nursing professionals are currently incorporating functional and integrative approaches, practice settings, use of labs, barriers to practicing this way, areas where nurses want more education, and where we think functional nursing is headed.

You absolutely do not need to be an IFN student or member to participate, and you do not need to currently work in a functional medicine practice. In fact, hearing from nurses who are interested in this area but are still figuring out how or whether to incorporate it into their careers is really important too.

It takes about 4–5 minutes:

The survey closes October 25 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

And as a thank-you for taking the survey, you can optionally enter to win our Intro to Functional Nursing course — a $199 value for yourself or to gift to a nurse friend. We’ll randomly select one winner and notify them on October 26.

I'll be analyzing the responses for an upcoming presentation on the State of Functional Nursing at our annual Redefining the Future of Nursing Summit in November, and I'm hoping we can gather a broad enough response to identify some meaningful patterns.

Please feel free to share the link with other nurses and NPs who would have a perspective to contribute.

In this episode of The Functional Nurse Podcast, Brigitte Sager DNP, FNP-C, FMCP-M, CNE challenged one of healthcare's most common narratives: are nurses truly burned out, or are they experiencing something deeper?

She explored the concept of professional misalignment and how functional nursing helps many nurses reconnect with the purpose that first drew them to the profession through root cause care, patient education, prevention, and meaningful therapeutic relationships.

If you missed this episode when it first aired, go listen now. It's an encouraging conversation for any nurse questioning their next step or searching for a more fulfilling way to practice. 🔗 https://youtu.be/ulYC-eKd02s
