Start Your Own Practice | Nurse Practitioner | Connecticut | Fall 2026
About the role
Kinstead helps experienced Nurse Practitioners across Connecticut start their own independent practices, providing the business and operational support needed to make it doable. You own your practice, choose the patients you want to serve, and decide what your schedule looks like. You can begin with just a few hours a week while continuing to work elsewhere and grow at whatever pace makes sense — the practice may stay part‑time or eventually replace your current job. More than 45 Nurse Practitioners have already worked with Kinstead to start and grow practices of their own.
