Pilot to Partnership
3 Month Mentorship for Nursing Entrepreneurs
Hospitals don't say yes to ideas. They say yes to evidence.
Maybe you’ve read the Pilot to Partnership Resource Guide and you’re ready to build. Or maybe you’ve read it and you’re feeling stuck as to which theory actually fits your topic, how do you turn “I have an idea” into a theory-backed program a hospital will trust or where do you even start.
Both are exactly who this is for.
Pilot to Partnership Mentorship is the space where we figure out the theory, the metric the methodology together. You don’t need to arrive with the methodology solved. That’s what we build here. Consider me your co-pilot.
Haven’t picked up the Pilot to Partnership Resource Guide yet?
The complete path from idea to hospital partnership.
It’s highly recommended before applying that you purchase the Pilot Partnership Resource guide as an overview as the mentorship builds directly on the framework and language in the guide. And if you commit to the mentorship, the cost of the guide is 100% reimbursed. It’s already part of your mentorship package.
Not a checklist. Not a template. A methodology.
Any Topic, One Specialty
This framework works for any topic.
With that being said, where I do my best work, is with nurses building holistic focused programs, well-being and well-becoming initiatives, peer support structures, and trainings focused on psychological safety, emotional intelligence and trauma-informed care. If that’s your world, I would love to be a part of healing you build. If it’s not, the methodology still holds - and I’m just as honored.
Pilot to Partnership Includes
-
Three months of 1:1 mentorship, from pilot design through preparing for your first hospital pitch.
-
CNE contact hours for your program, built in.
-
Direct guidance choosing your theory, your metric, and your survey design.
-
Methodology review before you collect a single data point, so mistakes get caught early, not after.
-
Pitch and proof-of-concept package review before it reaches a hospital.
-
Direct access to me throughout, not a course, not a group program, an actual one-on-one working relationship.
-
All of my CNE and program based work include contracts protecting your IP - and mentorship is no different! Every portion of the work belongs to you!
The Investment | $5,200
1:1 Mentorship - 3 months, direct guidance from application to pitch preparation
CNE Contact Hours - Strategically built in, not an afterthought (a $2,500 value)
This is a significant investment. It’s also the same process that has turned a single pilot into hospital partnerships worth $20 - $50k. You’re paying for 20+ years of expertise, not a template, not an on-demand course.
Payment plans are available, personalized to fit your needs, with no extra or hidden fees. If the full investment up front isn’t the right fit, we’ll figure out a structure that works during our call.
Why CNE Accredication Matters
Accreditation is a stamp of legitimacy. It tells everyone (boards, hospitals, employers and potential students) that the content was vetted against established standards. This is what transforms your work from personal expertise into a trusted, credential-bearing program hospitals are willing to pay for.
💡 If you’re not ready to build a program, you can still invest in CNE contact hours for your workshop, course, membership, conference or retreat.
Is This You?
You’re stuck between “I have an idea” and knowing how to build a theory-backed program, and you want someone to build it with you
You’ve read the Pilot to Partnership Resource Guide and you’re ready to build, or you’re not sure where to start, either is fine
You want individual, one-on-one guidance, not a group course, and you’re building something you intend to turn into a real, paid hospital partnership
You desire an experienced co-pilot and thought partner who is committed to your success
This is boutique work on purpose, one-on-one, not a group program with your name added to a list. Just a small number of people I can actually give real, individual attention to. No waitlist games, no artificial scarcity, just an honest limit on how much attention I can give.

A short application tells me where you are and what you’re building.

Let’s work together
Tara Kosmas
MSN, RN, NC-BC, CHSE, SOAR
Over the past 6 years as an accredited CNE provider, I’ve partnered with national nonprofit organizations, professional nursing associations, national patient safety centers, independent and community scholars and hospitals nationwide to provide continuing nursing education.
In addition to this, I’ve built my own body of work - from built baccalaureate nursing simulation curriculums, wellness initiatives, debriefing programs, second-victim programs, peer support programs and debriefing trainings.
I’ve always been doing this work in some way over the past 20 years however it really began in March of 2020.
Sixteen days after a global pandemic was declared, I began Debriefing the Front Lines. She I since built a team of board certified nurse coaches and together we provide debriefing of single incident and cumulative care-taking trauma, sobriety support and education to individuals and healthcare systems.
When not championing change in education and mental health, find me soaking in the sun, swimming in the gulf, collecting sharks teeth, chasing my animals and tending to my kosmic garden alongside her husband.
