As Co-Founders of Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse and owners of Bloom Hemp CBD, Nurses Elisabeth and Sherri Mack recognize that cannabis nursing is entering a defining chapter. What began as advocacy is steadily becoming a domain of clinical practice, policy relevance, and professional identity.

With 39 and 38 years of nursing experience, respectively, and over a decade dedicated to cannabis and plant medicine nursing, Elisabeth and Sherri have witnessed this evolution firsthand. Nurses are uniquely positioned to lead in this space, but the path forward requires clarity, structure, and sustainability. This roundtable offers a space to explore that transition together, and to consider what comes next for those committed to advancing cannabinoid therapeutics within modern healthcare.

Cannabis nursing started in grassroots advocacy and is finding its way into clinical practice, yet many nurses are still asking a very real question:

When does this work become sustainable?

As conversations around federal rescheduling continue, patients are beginning to ask whether Medicare or private insurers might cover CBD and other cannabinoid therapies. The landscape is shifting. Expectations are changing. Documentation is becoming more important. Health systems are starting to pay attention in ways they have not before.

In this Cannabis Nursing Roundtable discussion, Nurses Elisabeth and Sherri Mack will explore what this moment means for nurses working in cannabinoid care, including:

• What rescheduling could realistically mean for nurse educators inside healthcare systems
• Why more patients are asking about Medicare and cannabinoid coverage, and what reimbursement might look like
• How nurses can build stronger clinical authority in cannabinoid therapeutics, especially in chronic care
• Where sustainable roles may begin to take shape, from hospitals and dispensaries to case management, integrative clinics, and policy work
• What it takes to move from passion-driven work into something professionally grounded and viable

This is a forward-looking conversation for clinicians who are ready to both contribute to and shape the future of cannabis nursing as it becomes more structured, more recognized, and more sustainable.

Cannabis Nursing is a Specialty!

Cannabis nursing is stepping into its own as a specialty area of practice, with board certification on the horizon. The Holistic Caring & Green Nurse Cannabis Nurse Health Coach Program is designed to prepare you for what is next. With future opportunities across healthcare settings, dispensary operations, and leadership roles within the cannabis industry, the time is right. Healthcare organizations will be looking to nurses to fill the gaps in educational leadership, and we want to support your efforts in meeting this need. 

While the program was created with nurses in mind, it is also open to licensed health professionals who approach care through an integrative lens. CNHC provides an evidence-informed foundation to support the more than 50 million people in the United States already using cannabis as part of their health and wellness. There are 30 CEUs for nurses. 

As policies shift and patient demand continues to rise, healthcare is being asked to adapt. The CNHC Program prepares you to guide patients in using cannabis safely and effectively, with a focus on improving quality of life and reducing suffering, while also helping you build a meaningful role in this evolving area of practice.
