New Business for RN

[sonia211]

I have been out there interviewing for different Critical Care positions and I am just turned off by the low salary that everyone offers me with my Critical Care experience. I am thinking about doing a side business to help supplement my current income so that I can pay off my student loans. My question to you wonderful nurses out there is can you please give me some ideas for what I can do in terms of a side Nursing gig. I want to open my own business which will help me make my bills while I do my full time job.

My background: Bachelor of Business Admin

BSN

Critical Care experience

I am at a loss as to what kind of business I can run on the side given my education and experience.

I do NOT want to open up a home health agency, SNF, hospice etc. I would like to do something that does not require a $100K investment to begin.

Thank you in advance

I absolutely agree with more education needed! I had no idea how to do footcare until I paid to be trained. When I said that I did not want to be certified, that did not mean that I would not continue to educate myself. I educated myself on weekly and sometimes daily bases. There is always something to learn!

The type of bits that I found myself using is a diamond plate bit. I tried disposable and I tried a handful of other ones, but I love the pedicure bit made by Erica's Pedicure Bit – Erica's ATA I own a small autoclave and I have done the wire brush cleaning. I own 10 of these bits.

So as for the foot care business, I was not in love with treating peoples feet. I loved taking care of the person and I loved the one on one time. I really just wanted to expand what I did and pursue more of what I loved doing :)

I like your suggestion of being a contract nurse. How can one go about that? Any website, or forum on doing this?
