What Exactly Is A Nurse Entrepreneur
What Made You Decide To Start Your Own Business?

To Start A Nursing Agency:

  • Call The State Board of Nursing in your state, tell them you'd like to start a nursing agency. They'll refer you to the Regulating Body that can issue you a nursing agency license (Required).

    • If they do not cooperate (or say they don't know), then try calling as a nurse, who wants to file a complaint against a nursing agency and you want to know who to contact.
    • You can also try calling your local department of health and asking who licenses nursing agencies.

  • Get the required Bonding and Insurance. For Instance, in New Jersey, they require a $10,000 Surety Bond and Workers Compensation Insurance to start. Liberty Mutual handles the Involuntary Market in NJ.

  • Malpractice Insurance/Professional Liability Insurance is a must (we recommend that our nurses have individual policies as well). Health Professional Services Organization, http://www.hpso.com is reasonable, for one million/six million policy on our first 10 nurses, we pay $819 per year. Their # is 888-288-3534.

  • Pay An Attorney to make and review the contracts you'll be using with the facilities you send nurses and nursing assistants to. Please note, it's much cheaper to have an attorney "review" a contract, than to have one made up from scratch.

      (Please note, you can purchase a copy of our contracts for $50 (Visa or Mastercard Accepted) or we'll trade for competency exams, insurance quotes, etc).

      To Purchase the contracts, click on the "Buy Now" logo and send $50 to Andrew Lopez, RN at info@nursefriendly.com. Once payment is received we will Mail, E-mail or Fax the contracts to you (please specify how you'd like them sent).

  • Set up an office (either at home, or rent space if you've got the capital).

    • If you are set up as a sole proprietorship, be wary of claiming the "home office" deduction. It's a major red flag to the IRS and strict documentation rules apply.

    • If you are set up as a corporation, contact us if you'd like a copy of the Lease Agreement Nursefriendly, Inc. uses to rent office space. Strict documentation rules apply with this option as well.

  • Prepare Job Applications, Reference Sheets, and the other paperwork you'll need your for nurses to fill out for you to be in compliance with your state's requirements.

      Please note, you can find 1/2 the forms you need by applying to a local nursing agency and asking them to send you a packet so you can fill out the forms at home. (I usually tell them I'm a stay at home father and need to pay a babysitter when I come in). Send out "Request for Proposals" to printing/forms companies to get price quotes for making up your business forms, time sheets, stationery, etc.

  • Start advertising and wait for the calls, contracts to come in. Good sources are the Yellow Pages, Local Papers, Direct Mail. You can also simply mail/fax your contracts to the facilities after a phone call and let them review them.

    • Make up a list of the hospitals and nursing homes in your area (check in the local phone book, on the web, etc.) that you'll contact looking for business.

    • A guerilla marketing tactic, is to go into other facilities through other agencies working as an agency nurse, and network with other nurses and their administration.

    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."
