Are You Making Any of These 10 Deadly Small Biz Mistakes?:"These traps/mistakes are common to many entrepreneurs:
1. Getting Wedded To an Idea And Sticking With It Too Long.
Don't marry a single idea. Remember, ideas are the currency of entrepreneurs. Play with many ideas and see which ones bring money and success."
http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/deadly
******************************************************
Become a Nurse Entrepreneur
Take A Leap of Faith, Monsterhealth.com:"A number of nurses today are taking a "leap of faith" from traditional patient care to a career as an entrepreneur. If you are one of them, whether changes in the health care setting or the desire to be your own boss are at the root of your desire, personal effectiveness is an essential part of success as a nurse entrepreneur.
Transitioning into the role of entrepreneur can be an exciting, as well as challenging, experience for health care professionals. Nurses considering an entrepreneurial role may want to ask themselves "What do I want to do?" "What is it I do best?" and "Do I have a passion for it?" Being good at what you do is a wonderful start. However, you will need business, marketing and people-relations skills, as well as others, to be effective in the business world."

Being Your Own Boss: It’s
More Than Just a Pipe Dream
Patricia Ann Bemis, RN,CEN, Nursingspectrum.com, June 30, 2003:"As ironic as it may seem, often the biggest obstacle to becoming self-employed isn’t money, opportunity, or the economy — but ourselves. It’s the old self-defeating mindset of allowing fear of the unknown to quash your dreams before they can even begin to take shape. And although nurses are already accomplished professionals, becoming a self-employed RN can still seem like a lofty goal. I’m one of many examples of RNs who finally set aside a negative mindset that delayed the journey from employee to entrepreneur, and you can, too."
http://community.nursingspectrum.com/MagazineArticles/article.cfm?AID=9882
******************************************************
Born to Roam
Travel nurse-turned-entrepreneur gears her agency to nomadic nurses who crave job security, Nurseweek.com:"On the strength of the nursing shortage, Terri Hill, RN, has traveled from the operating room to the boardroom of her own small but growing company, HC Travelers.
Travel nursing for the Indianapolis surgical nurse began as a lark with a purpose. It was a chance to reconnect with distant family and-at least by one nurse-alleviate California's desperate need in 1990 for operating room nurses.
With her husband and four children in tow, Hill accepted a six-week assignment to a Los Angeles-area hospital. It was a memorable month and a half of work and leisure that years later would lure her back to travel nursing and a career that she could not have imagined."

Defining the Needs of
Nurse Entrepreneurs
Marie Tobin, RN, BSN, MPH, Nursingspectrum.com:"You want to work for yourself, but how do you go about doing that? More and more nurses are developing their own businesses. And they want to know how to grow their business and take it to the next level.
The Entrepreneurial Networking Group for Nurses (ENGN) recently conducted its first annual survey of the educational needs of nurse entrepreneurs. "Our mission is to encourage, educate, and empower nurse entrepreneurs to realize their full business potential," says ENGN founder, Claudia Ellis, RN. "Our membership is growing, interest in entrepreneurship is growing, and we know from conversations with nurses that they have varied learning needs when it comes to entrepreneurship."
http://community.nursingspectrum.com/MagazineArticles/article.cfm?AID=8439
******************************************************
Nurse Entrepreneur: Expanding Career Alternatives
Carolyn Zagury, RN, MS, CPC, Nursingspectrum.com:"An exciting, yet somewhat frightening career alternative for nurses, is business ownership. Owning your own business is a risk, but there is no better prepared professional than the nurse to take on the business world. Nurses are often risk takers, which translates into the confidence to transfer our expertise into new potentials for personal, financial, and professional success.
Translating nursing education, expertise, and experience into a business can be simplified by applying the nursing process."

Lack of Programming Experience Doesn't Stop the "Nurse Entrepreneur":"Dean Nelson saw a need for a new approach that would streamline information management for trauma center staff. A registered nurse, Nelson specializes in acute traumatic injury at the Shands Trauma Center in Jacksonville, Florida. It's a high pressure environment where the need to save time is magnified - and this includes recording and accessing information."

When Opportunity Knocks:
Nurse entrepreneurs strike out on their own to find richer rewards, challenges, Nurseweek.com, April 3, 2002:"It was Saturday and Karon White Gibson, RN, and Joy Smith Catterson, RN, were making visits to several patients in their new home care business. They were also on their way to a wedding, so they were dressed more sophisticated than usual for a home visit.
They went to the designated address for the visit where the family welcomed them and offered them a cup of tea. Then they sat and chatted a bit with the family, as they were new in the home care business and wanted to establish a rapport with their patient. The family introduced them to their daughter and her husband.
Following tea and the introductions, White asked, "Where's the patient?"

A Passport to a World of Opportunities
Donna M. Tozzi, RN, BSN, PA, NursingSpectrum.com, March 19, 2001:"Beauty. Art. Ambience. Medicine? I’ve always had an interest in beauty. It can be glamorous, peaceful, and make you feel good inside. How I decided to combine it with nursing still surprises me.
I began to dabble in the area of beauty in college, where I had two desks in my dorm room. One desk was for nursing books and the other was for cosmetics, which I bought wholesale. Before parties or dates, a line of girls who wanted to browse through and purchase cosmetics would form outside my room. I was able to give my "customers" make-up tips because, in addition to taking nursing classes, I was working at the perfume counter at a department store and taking a course at the Westmore Academy for professional make-up artistry. From that point on, I knew that aside from being a nurse, I wanted to continue working in aesthetics as well as business."

The self employed occupational and environmental health nurse: maximizing business success by managing financial resources.:"The occupational and environmental health nurse entrepreneur can avoid business failure by engaging in a planning process that maximizes financial resources. Successful financial management involves understanding key financial reports and using those reports as management tools to "keep score" on the business. The prices the occupational and environmental health nurse entrepreneur charges for services will have a direct effect on the success of the business. Payroll, earnings, and expense records are useful management tools to help the occupational and environmental health nurse entrepreneur track the business and meet legal requirements."

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."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

Nursing In The Media, Nursingadvocacy.org
- ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide."
- NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job! Starting in March 2003 and at least as recently as late August, NBC's campy, supernatural daytime soap opera "Passions" has featured an orangutan named Precious in the role of the private duty nurse of one of its characters--a bold step backwards in the already slow...evolution...of the media's treatment of nurses. more..."
-
"Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..."
