Default Re: Keep this forum alive: Be an entrepreneur
I really want to own my own nursing business some day. I want to be a Preventitive Health Nurse. I want to start my own clinic type institution where families can come and learn how to improve their health through diet and exercise, but I want it to be more than just a class. I want to set up like and after school program and have a mock grocery store so I can actively teach children how to look at their food. I want to have a cook night where families come and I have all the ingredients and we cook a meal together learning how the meal at every stage is helping them be healthy. (You would be supprized how many people in their 20s and 30s don't know how to cook!) I want to have an exercise class for diabetics and teach families and people with diabetes how living with diabetes can really make them healtheir people if they take care of themselves. Finally I want to have time to help people understand their diagnosis (really teaching in the hospitals and docotors offices are so limited and unsupportive) I want to teach people what the tests they've had done are for and how it helped the doctor diagnosis their illness. Unfortunatly I want to have a clinic to do all this in and I don't want to charge people very much because the people I want to help don't make much money in the first place.

However, I just started nursing 8 months ago and I really feel like I need to get out of debt before I go leaping off in to some other venture, plus I probably need the hospital experience too! I love this tread and I hope to hear other people's ideas!
