Feedback From Our Students
“Training videos are AWESOME. I’m an audio/visual learner so this was perfect! Absolutely recommend her training course if your going into patient advocacy, hands down this was very useful. I have moderate experience, but Teri had key concepts and strategies that I don’t think you’ll ever hear or learn from anybody else.”
“Teri Deher was instrumental in my success in becoming an RN Patient Advocate. She walks you through every step of how to become a successful nurse entrepreneur. In fact, within a few weeks of opening my advocacy business, I had five active clients and I had paid back my business loan. I feel secure knowing that I have Teri by my side to answer any questions that come up. Teri is truly a blessing in my life.”
