Our Story

From Nursing Expertise to Groundbreaking Technology

Nursing Consulting Partners

The experts behind NELP

NELP is the brainchild of Nursing Consulting Partners (NCP), a firm of expert nursing consultants who are on the cutting edge of nursing excellence. Their team includes Chief Nursing Executives, former Magnet Program Directors, and Nurse Scientists with decades of combined experience guiding healthcare organizations through the most complex designation and governance challenges.

NCP recognized that their deep expertise could reach far more organizations if translated into a purpose-built technology platform. No tool like this existed: one specifically focused on nursing excellence, designed by the very consultants who live and breathe it every day.

Bringing It to Life

Technology meets expertise

To turn their vision into reality, NCP teamed up with Marcus Lannie, a proven technology entrepreneur who previously built and sold a software and AI company. Marcus' technical leadership and product vision brought NCP's vision to life.

Together, they created something unprecedented: the first-ever platform specifically focused on nursing excellence, built from the ground up by nursing experts who truly understand the journey. NELP combines NCP's unmatched knowledge with innovative technology to deliver tools that healthcare organizations have never had access to before.

The result is a platform that transforms how organizations approach designation achievement, professional governance, clinical advancement, and evidence-based practice with digitization, automation, and measurable ROI.
