Anyone in biz for themselves?

Published

:nurse: :kiss :blushkiss Anyone out there in business for themselves? The more I think about it, the more I feel like having a home-based nursing business. After reading everyone's concerns about low pay, low professional respect and status, and being treated like hookers and morons, (gay if you're a male nurse) I think that it is definately a consideration. Just wanted some input. What would the major health-care corps DO if we all started freelancing at inflated prices? WOO-HOO!!!!!!!! Gives me chills and goosebumps! Love ya all just cuz you're YOU!

The site looks revamped. It is not just an agency, it is a group of nurses who contract themselve out.

Here it is:

http://www.preferredrns.com/ and the name of the business is Integrative HealthCare Resources. This is my shining example of how we can do this.

As I stated before, Charles is more than happy to answer your questions.

In my neighborhood, an older woman, a nurse herself, started an nursing agency, it has been successful for many years. Another acquaintance had started a nursing agency - highly successful. One local RN has her own ad in the yellow pages offering her services for private duty nursing.

Hmm. I wonder about the legalities and contracts, etc...how things are handled with private duty businesses. Anybody know?The above links are not working for me...don't know if it's my computer or what.
