How did you hear about the Nurse Entrepreneur Homesite?: Internet
How many years have you been practicing as a nurse: 30 years

Where do you work?: Yes, as the owner and president of my consulting company
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: I am concerned that a massive nursing shortage in the next few years will result in hospitals trying to fill the gaps with improperly and poorly trained non-licensed personnel. This will result in the loss of quality health-care for everyone because nurses rely on more than just their education in making critical decisions regarding patient care. They also use their professional attitude and behavior, both of which are based on experience. These are not traits which can be taught or learned in a six month crash course in nursing.
Other areas of interest and expertise: Interested in children with ADHD, sexuality education, and foreign health missions

Alabama Board of Nursing:"Nursing evolved from an informal and unregulated practice for centuries. Leaders such as England's Florence Nightingale, considered to be the founder of modern nursing, saw a need to formalize education and set high standards for practice. In America, nursing leaders saw not only a need to formalize education and set high standards for nursing practice, but to seek regulation through government and hold individuals accountable for their practice."

Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."
