Ok, I'm seriously thinking of starting my own business catering to little old ladies who are still living independently. My status in the community as an RN would be a major selling point. I can do anything their hearts desire, including help with home repairs, coordinating medical care, repainting their kitchen, gardening and lawn maintenence, cleaning, trips to the big city. I'm an extremely versatile person. Before nursing I worked in a cabinet shop so I know how to do a lot of things.
I wouldn't mind incorporating 'nurse' or 'RN' into the name of my business. I would charge a flat fee of $20 per hour with a 4 hr minimum. That's a lot less than I make now, but it would be less stressful, and I would be out from under the yolk of the tyranny of the hospital.
Something like "RN Plus", or "Nurse and More". I don't know, what do you think?

Are you set on catering to little old ladies only? There are a lot of widowers out there who could probably use some help, too. I'd say be VERY specific in the naming because there are a lot of fetish pervs out there who would love a "Nurse and More". :angryfire What about "YouRN" (suppsed to be Your RN but may be a bit confusing). You could also do something like "An RN 4 You" or "Nurse on Duty". That's a hard one. I love the idea, though! Let us know what you decide.
These are some good ideas so far! You're right about avoiding anything that could be misconstrued! No, I don't mind serving the needs of elderly men!
I was thinking of advertising in the local paper and spreading word around the senior center and at churches perhaps? What do you think? I'm well thought of in the community. I can still keep my FTE at the hospital for now.

You guys are great. LOL leslie!
I've been practising saying "Handy Ma'am RN" , I think that is a keeper. It rolls off the tongue and sounds catchy.

Leslie brings up a good point though... you also need a catchy, easy to remember phone number :)
