Entrepreneurial Ideas for LPNs

Nurses Entrepreneurs

Updated:   Published

Good Morning:

I am an LPN and I am currently in school to become an RN. I also work full time as a Regional Clinical Director for a nursing home management company.

I know as an RN the skies are the limit in regards to being an entrepreneurs in nursing. However, I believe that true wealth and opportunity is never defined by one's title, but rather than one's commitment and tenacity to the ministry of nursing.

I would like to get ideas of on opportunities for LPNs as entrepreneurs. Please share with any additional guidance. I have several LPN friends who do not desire to be RNs but would like to supplement their income through their own endeavors.

Thank you and blessings and prosperity to you.

I have been an LPN for over 20 years and yes, it does not matter what your title is, what matters is how much experience you have in the field, how tenacious (and mentally strong) you are and the positions that you settle for. I meet RN's every day that cannot perform the same jobs that I can, due to lack of experience and knowledge. I find many of them are in awful positions, at the mercy of the business they are working under.

In nursing, it all depends on the opportunities that you seek, and the positions that you settle for. I've worked many jobs from hell, and in some great positions as well. I currently am looking to become a private duty & private pay nurse, to be able to make more money rather than working under an agency.

I am a LPN ready to go on welfare because the HHC company I work for only gives me 1 patient at a time. I have over 10 yrs experience on a telemetry floor. I made business cards to try promoting myself as an consultant. Do you have any suggestions? I do not need a RN to supervise me or do I? Oh! I just turned 50 and probably will go back to school, but until then.....

A consultant does not need any supervision, RN or otherwise.

Hi there!! I am very interested in this path you had taken, anyway I could discuss how this works with you?
