Nurse Money: Isn’t This All Too Risky?

Let’s bust a big myth real quick:

Investment risk is not about your feelings.

That’s right. Risk isn’t about being a daredevil or playing it safe—it’s about math. 

And for nurses and APRNs asking how to make more money through investing, that’s great news because it takes guesswork out.

The Right Way to Measure Investment Risk (It’s Not a Guess)

People love to say: “Just invest based on how comfortable you are with risk.”

But would you ever prescribe blood pressure medication based on how much your patient feels like having a heart attack?

Of course not. You’d use a validated tool.

Same with investing.

A Nurse-Friendly Investing Analogy 🫀

Think of the Heart Disease Risk Estimator Tool you use in clinical practice. You:

• Enter patient data

• Get a specific, evidence-based result

• Use that to tailor a treatment plan

Now apply that to your money:

• Enter your financial data

• Get a personal investment risk score

• Use it to build your portfolio (the smart way)

The One Simple Tool Nurses Use to Build Smarter Portfolios

Head to this page on the Vanguard website–this works for U.S. and Canadian nurses even if you're not investing with Vanguard. 

Then watch the video at the top of this page. I walk you through:

• How to fill it out

• What the results mean

• And most importantly—how to use your results to decide how much stock and how much bond to invest in

This is how you eliminate anxiety and make the most money possible as a nurse investor.

Are You Starting to See How Doable This Is?

If your current portfolio doesn't match your calculated risk, that means you're carrying unnecessary risk. And that’s a fixable problem.

And that’s what we’ll tackle next.
