  1. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    milesims replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I came into it from high school just to have a safe backup career. I hated it at first, grew to tolerate it, and realized direct patient care isn't what I want to do my whole life. I'm in second year...

  2. Has nursing made you negative?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I appreciate your sarcasm. I won't get defensive, because I was literally this stupid last year. I felt unappreciated working for free in a hospital while in school, the course load was insane, I...

  3. Anyone else starting a business as a nursing student?

    milesims posted a topic in General Students

    I'm starting a home care agency in a month and would like to hear more about other students starting a business while still in school. Tell me more about yourself. What made you think of the idea?...

  4. Why can't we all just get along?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    Completely agree with you. I suppose that people like that are everywhere, and nursing isn't an exception. We're all human, regardless of our occupation. Thank you for the

  5. Has nursing made you negative?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way my first year and I was never like this before nursing. I eventually got over it, but only through focusing on my self-improvement. It's an annoying state of mind to be

  6. Why can't we all just get along?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    I can definitely see your point, Larry2016. It's sad how insecurity can lead to that kind of

  7. Why can't we all just get along?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    Completely agreed and I can see your point. I know "cheerleaders" are too much to ask for, although I don't see anything wrong with that. I always praise my friends for accomplishments, and I think if...

  9. New Business for RN

    milesims replied to sonia211's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I know you said you weren't considering a home care agency, but you're very wrong with your estimate.. If you want to buy a franchise, it'll cost $100,000. But you don't need a franchise if you want a...

  10. Nurse Entrepreneurs

    milesims replied to Kimmie69's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I don't know about that.. If you're going to client's homes and serving as the company representative, it might make the company seem understaffed. Plus, you want to be on call and available as long...

  11. Nurse Entrepreneurs

    milesims replied to Kimmie69's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    PSW = Personal Support Worker. Very common in Canada, I think you guys have CNAs instead of that in the US. I don't know about the US, but if you're running a company and contracting CNAs to work for...

  12. Nurse Entrepreneurs

    milesims replied to Kimmie69's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Well, don't become overly priced. But in the business workshops I've attended, I've learned that price is not an important determining factor when it comes to consumers choosing business (crazy,...

  13. Nurse Entrepreneur Roll Call!

    milesims replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I'm starting a non-medical home care agency in June. I'm currently a nursing student in second year, and received a business grant for students to get me started. I also have a free office at the...

    milesims replied to Kimmie69's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hello, I'm becoming a non-medical home care provider as well in Ontario, Canada. I'm opening my business on June 5th and received a grant. Are you hiring PSWs or are you working yourself? Maybe look...

  15. Anyone else starting a business as a nursing student?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the advice! =D I will definitely check out this forum. It definitely is a lot of work in the states. The education there costs a lot more than Canada as well. Hopefully I will meet some...

  16. Anyone else starting a business as a nursing student?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    I don't have a business planning background. I just went to business workshops whenever I could, and did an immense amount of research on the internet. I'm only 20, so literally any nursing student...

  17. Anyone else starting a business as a nursing student?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    I'm just making a point of how I intend to build this business, how qualified I am, and how far I've gotten. I purely want to hear about previous experiences, so I said all of this to let everyone...

  18. Anyone else starting a business as a nursing student?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    Yes, I can see your points. And it definitely isn't all red tape to start a business in the US. It's even easier in Canada, Ontario to start a home care agency. I got doubts a lot when I first came...

  22. Starting a home care agency? Still a nursing student.

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in Canada

    Absolutely. I have an interest in this topic as well, and that's why I am starting this company. I find that the non-profit organizations that I have looked into cost around the same as a for-profit....

    I have done some research with Sprint recently, thanks to you. I plan on contacting their staff, and hopefully the owner (if I can find his/her contact information). Thank you for your advice! I have...

  24. Anyone starting a home care agency? Or thinking of starting?

    milesims posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I'm starting my home care business in about a month. My business plan is complete, I'm getting a grant of $3000 in a month, and I'm currently a student and need a lot of motivation going into...
