  1. Starting private duty nursing in Denver

    innovativemurse replied to kingskidsp's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Just apply to the agencies as an independent contractor. Just make sure to come up with a fee (salary) that will cover your overhead. You're paying your taxes, mileage, etc., so don't sell yourself...

  2. How does our license come into play?

    innovativemurse replied to middypiegirl's topic in Developmental Disabilities

  3. How does our license come into play?

    innovativemurse replied to middypiegirl's topic in Developmental Disabilities

  4. Work from home OB nurse?

    innovativemurse replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    innovativemurse replied to Future-Male-RN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  7. Starting a Nursing Agency

    innovativemurse replied to Future-Male-RN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Quite frankly I don't think being a nurse is a requirement to running an agency, but it will certainly give you an advantage once you become one. If you are an entrepreneur and a nurse, both of these...

    innovativemurse replied to fawnsternurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Are you talking something along the lines of a mobile cart/kiosk set up somewhere? Or leasing a space and the equipment? I ran a frozen yogurt shop years ago and the business was sold for ~75,000....

    innovativemurse replied to kingskidsp's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    innovativemurse replied to Kindhearted's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Just check out my post in the other thread. Don't force yourself on anyone, but be sure to talk up your services and just sell yourself without direct selling so to speak. I truly care about the...

  13. Keep this forum alive: Be an entrepreneur

    innovativemurse replied to innovativemurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  14. Will economy hurt business?

    innovativemurse replied to Kindhearted's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I own my business which incorporates a few different specialties (case management, wellness coaching, corporate wellness). I also contract myself out under my corporate entity. If a contract/job comes...

  15. ANY RNFA's?

    innovativemurse replied to 1LTJSMITH's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Unfortunately I do not work in this field, however I would definitely do a search for this on the forum and try to connect with someone in this biz. Also, do you feel like you aren't getting...

  16. Will economy hurt business?

    innovativemurse replied to Kindhearted's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    For me I am actually finding more opportunities for contracts because often times a business may scale back on their staff and then realize they scaled back too much. Rather than hiring a W-2 employee...

    First, congratulations on the LNC venture. A business plan is a great place to start. I did a lot of research out there on business plans. I looked at software, free templates and books that help you...

  20. Relocating to Maryland

    innovativemurse replied to hellooonurse's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just moved to Maryland from out west and took a job at Johns Hopkins, so my experience may be similar in that I essentially uprooted my family to come here. I had spent the last couple of years...

  21. Kaplan test result what does it mean?

    innovativemurse replied to moliuchick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just wanted to say that I initially felt the same way about the Kaplan Question Trainer. I didn't take the course, but did use the CD my friend had from the class. I took all of the tests over a...

  24. UCHSC nursing program

    innovativemurse replied to Denverchick1983's topic in Colorado Nursing

    innovativemurse replied to Denverchick1983's topic in Colorado Nursing
