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




What exactly is a nurse entrepreneur in your own words? A nurse who freelances, is self-employed or runs a business. I don’t feel network marketing and MLM’s qualify as a nurse owned business.

Nena Hart MSN, RN, Hart Healthcare Solutions:"I started as a nurse’s aide at 18 and worked my way up to a director of nursing to improve the quality of care for patients and working conditions for staff. I transitioned to hospice as on-call then case manager and worked my way up to director, area director and administrator, vice president and then national utilization manager of DME. I’ve been married for 18 years have 4 children and I live in Hawaii. I was so committed to high performance in my corporate role that I really strained and devalued my marriage. I had to really evaluate my priorities and my pride and change my attitude. My husband is my biggest supporter, and I am fortunate he is so forgiving. Today we are doing great and my marriage takes priority over everything else. Two years ago, I was recruited to a CEO position in Hawaii and was fired 5 weeks later with no reason. That is how I was finally able to start my consulting business." PO Box 630580 Lanai City HI 93763

Moving Beyond Hospital Walls, by Donna Cardillo, RN, BS:"Have you ever wondered how far you could move from the bedside in your career pursuits and still call yourself a nurse? Have you ever questioned whether your colleagues who work in nontraditional areas, such as quality assurance, are still working as nurses? Is your identity as a nurse tied up in the traditional realm of hospitals and direct patient care?"

Nurse Entrepreneurs: Start your Journey in becoming a great Nurse Entrepreneur, Articlesphere.com:"Who would not want to have a privilege of becoming your own boss? This would include those in nursing career. Now, if you are one of those experience nurses and look forward to venture into entrepreneurship, just look closely into the practice of your nursing career and you will soon see opportunities that you can attack so as to become a successful entrepreneur. Think positively as the world of nursing is filled with lessons which you can always take the benefit of it. Understand the needs by the community as well the growth of this kind of business that you can grow with. First, in order to be one great nurse entrepreneur, you must have a passion. Find your real passion. Turn this passion into your business venture. It is not wrong if you want to get older in hospitals while taking care of the patients in the most critical conditions. After some years of employment experience in the hospital, most nurses are geared towards some more serious focus other than caring for their patients."

Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur, By Carolyn Zaumeyer:"Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, ARNP is a graduate of Florida International University and President and owner of Women's Health Watch, Inc. Over seven years ago Carolyn ventured into independent nursing practice. When planning her new practice, she did a literature review and was unable to locate any resource material to guide the nurse practitioner in developing her practice. While she was putting together her new venture, she was also keeping detailed notes, hoping that eventually she would be able to help other nurse practitioners interested in independent practice. In 1995 she published the book, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur: How to Establish and Operate an Independent Practice - a reference and resource manual." This book has enjoyed national sales over the years, and many universities and colleges have utilized it as a text. It is now available for sale at our Website, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur". It continues to guide and instruct nurse practitioners on how to establish, organize, and operate an independent nursing practice. Email Carolyn."

Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes!
