Help

I was approach by a woman who owns a HHA right now she is doing only CDS. She wants to start doing in home and needs an RN. Although I have plenty of nursing experience I have no home care experience. We are meeting tomorrow to discuss this business deal. She asked me what my number would be to leave my current full time job. I currently teach and nurse PRN. I make 80k now. I'm

just wondering what kind of questions should I ask to assist me in making my decision. After reading these post it seems as I would be damn near doing a career change and investing a lot of time getting this up and going. Yes I have done some research on my responsibilities. I also realize until we get there I will be the only RN.

    There's a lot involved in the "up and running" role that a new employee to an established employer does not have to worry about. Doubt that she wants to pay you any extra incentive for the extra workload. Are you sure you want to do this? And keep in mind that a new business could very well go "belly up" fast or she could just up and decide to bail on the whole idea. A lot to think about before leaving a sure thing.

    Would you do it for a percentage of the company?

    Only if I could stand the heat in the kitchen. In other words, financially secure and able to lose my investment without ending up on the street with no assets left.

    I have a family I would never just leave a sure thing. But I'm dipping my foot part time to learn home health may do some training and I'll see if this is something work going full spend ahead.
