Nationwide — The highly anticipated Nurse Boss Summit 2026 is returning to Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 31 – August 1, 2026, at the McKimmon Conference and Training Center, bringing together nurses, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, and industry leaders for two days of education, inspiration, networking, and empowerment.
Founded by Dr. Tammy Jurnett-Lewis, nurse, entrepreneur, author, and Executive Director of The Anthony Lewis Foundation for Brain Tumors, the Nurse Boss Summit was created to empower healthcare professionals to expand their impact, build their legacy, and explore opportunities beyond the bedside.
Over the years, the summit has attracted attendees from across the United States and featured an impressive lineup of celebrity guests, healthcare leaders, entrepreneurs, and influencers. Previous guests have included Bern Nadette Stanis (Thelma from Good Times), Guy Lockard (Chicago Med), Lamman Rucker (Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns and Why Did I Get Married?), Adrienne “Gammy” Norris (Red Table Talk), and actor Larenz Tate, among many others.
This year’s featured celebrity guest is legendary R&B artist Ronnie DeVoe, best known as a member of the iconic groups New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe. DeVoe will share insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, perseverance, and building a successful brand while navigating the challenges of business ownership.

“The Nurse Boss Summit is more than a conference—it’s a movement,” says Dr. Tammy Jurnett-Lewis. “Our mission is to empower nurses and healthcare professionals to recognize the value of their knowledge, expertise, and influence while creating opportunities for growth, leadership, and service.”
A portion of the proceeds from the event supports The Anthony Lewis Foundation for Brain Tumors, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, education, and resources to individuals and families impacted by brain tumors.
