Taking the PLUNGE

Nurses Entrepreneurs

Published

Well.. at long last I am setting up my business. Here is my plan.

Decided on a business name:

Nursing Independent Care and and Education (NICE) This is sorta of an insider joke. Over the years that is often how I am decribed (not beautiful, intelligent, etc... tehehehe)

I have taken a course in CPR Instruction. I will, initially, work under contracts with an independent tax license (self proprietorship at first). I will, hopefully, directly contract with facilities for CPR and educational needs of the facility - depending on what the market in my area needs.

I am taking a course that will help me set up and be successful in establishing my small business. It is through the local community college and is sanctioned by the local Chamber of Commerce. I will receive free follow up and many knowledgable people are available (free and for small consultation fees) on my new advisory board.

This is a culmination of a long standing dream (or maybe mid-life crisis - tehehehehehe).

I encourage you to ask questions, pose ideas, and walk with me in this journey.

Hi L,

Happy for you. Like the business name. It sounds like you will do private care as well as teach CPR. You will be a big success!!!! Did you go to Las Vegas?

Thank you for the encouragment. I appreciate it very much.

Ann: I did not attend VEgas; long sotry short, the main reason was work was pulling me to my home area and there was not guarantee of hours for me to finance my trip to Vegas.

Yes, I plan to do some sort of Nurse Care; whether it be blood draws etc.. agian depending on the market.

Also, I did not mention, I have found two agnecies who are willing to contract work and pay me as an independent business so I can take advantage of the tax break and take into account my expenses.
