Hi all! Formerly posted in the aesthetics nursing, but not much activity over there. So here it goes... I just accepted a new NP job that will leave me with a 4 day work week. In the meantime I have decided to pursue a small side business in aesthetics, mainly doing microblading. I have taken the course and feel comfortable with the procedure of microblading. My question, is for those of you who successfully opened any practice, how did you go about finding or locating your supervising physician? I have a list of few docs I have worked with in the past, but I am just unsure of exactly how to present the idea. Since I am just starting out I don't know how much money I will actually bring initially. I basically need a supervising physician on premises per my state's BON and medical board. Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Sidenote: I have found a cardiology practice that is renting out spaces for nurse entrepreneurs. Hoping I can meet with them soon. In the meantime, I want to reach out to other physicians.

Ty for your reply!! The extra day sounds heavenly lol.

The work/life balance is great I can't lie. I'm off by 4:30 everyday typically. Company is very understanding of employees lives outside of work. However, I pay $750/month for insurance and have a $12,000 deductible. I essentially pay out of pocket for every doc appt, every medication, every lab draw etc. Two years ago this wouldn't have bothered me, but now I realize I'm spending about 10% of my income on health insurance alone! Not including dental and vision which I can't afford í ½í¸«. The costs keep getting passed down to the employee every year and I seriously wonder if the company and subsequently, my position are stable. Such a tough decision.

Thank you so much for your reply! This was def something I inquired about during the process. I was told that the actual dept (vascular access) closes between 5-5:30 and that extra time will just be to close out the day. But I do anticipate having to stay a little over, just hoping it's not too frequent!!

Would you all consider leaving a 9-5 field position to work 10 hour shifts in a large hospital system. Currently working for a company with decent pay but absolutely horrible benefits and retirement plan. Opportunity to work at hospital with significantly better benefits and slightly better salary (5k). Important to note current job has a great work life balance and new job would require after school daycare for children until 6:00. Any thoughts??? TIA!
