Age Discrimination Takes Its Toll by Paula Span, January 12, 2012, 12:07 pm:"Raise your hand if you’ve felt that people treat you with less respect or courtesy than others, that they act as if you’re not smart, that you get poorer service in stores and restaurants than others — in short, if you’ve felt discriminated against because of age, gender, ethnicity, income, disability, appearance, even marital status. A startling proportion of older people report that they’ve experienced discrimination: 63 percent, in a study recently published in Research on Aging. The most commonly cited cause? “Thirty percent report being mistreated because of their age,” said the lead author Ye Luo, a Clemson University sociologist. Perceived discrimination because of gender, race or ancestry, disabilities or appearance followed in smaller proportion"

What Made You Decide To Start Your Own Business? @HealthyNal @AutoimmuneRN #Nurseup #Nursefriendly

http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/why/

New:

What made you decide to start your own business? The more I work with patients and families, the more value I see in my knowledge as a nurse. Health impacts all aspects on an individual's life, as well as those around them. Starting Healthy Now and Later is a way for me to reach beyond the bedside and share this knowledge to improve the health, wellbeing, and life of another.

Leah Korkis, BSN, RN, Healthy Now and Later:"Healthy Now and Later is a free resource for caregivers and those 55+. There they will find information on common health topics, health promotion recipes for special diets, and a nation-wide database of local services and financial aid. For further information or clarification, visitors may also "Ask A Nurse"."
http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/korkis

What made you decide to start your own business? Autonomy to help others in a non clinical setting in an effort to hopefully empower them in such a way that they might be able to avoid hospitalization or chronic health Issues. I have been an entreprenuer all of my life and my nursing degree and license allow me to practice in the capacity I have always wanted to: to help others holistically to reach their lifestyle and wellness goals. In addition, I am a relationship type of person and appreciate long term interactions/communication with clients.

Shannon Garrett, BS, RN, CHLC, Shannon Garrett Wellness, @AutoimmuneRN, Tennessee Nurse Entrepreneurs, Health Coaches:"I provide holistic health, wellness, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching for women who struggle with the many complexities of living with autoimmune or other chronic health issues. I have a 12 week program I work them through to help them reach their goals and I provide a NANDA wellness care plan for them. I personally have three autoimmune issues and know what these women go through. Medication nor diet are stand-alone treatments. Lifestyle issues are an integral part of healing and I help them work through challenges."

What made you decide to start your own business? I felt the need from the nursing profession for relevant education that is applicable across multiple business fields.

We offer courses on-site in topics such as project management, basics of nursing informatics, and nursing informatics review courses.

What made you decide to start your own business? I always knew I wanted to own my own "something" I just never knew what that something was. So I went to school for my master's in business and nursing- just in case that idea came to me! When I left my inpatient role to work at a wellness center, coordinating a physician referred exercise program, I went through a health and wellness coaching program- my first one of two. When I was done the club wanted me to coach their clients there. But I realized that wasn't what I wanted to do- I wanted to coach my own clients in my own business. That "something" had turned into a reality. I am quite independent, motivated, hard-working, committed, and dedicated. I want to make a difference and have an impact on the nursing profession. I want to help our profession rise to a new level. That being said my "coaching" business has turned into so much more- I realized that nurses needed me in many different capacities. So I have turned to speaking, writing, radio show hosting, and many other modalities to be able to help nurses where they are at. I love being a business owner and I wouldn't have it any other way!

When these are honed to a specific population or purpose, the sky is the limit.

What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses especially qualified to operate a business? Nurses have a beautiful blend of art, skill, passion, and knowledge. We are organized and hard-working. We are committed to and believe in our work. When a nurse has a job to do- she/he does it with everything she/he's got! Not only do we have the dedication to our work, but we have vigorous and intense training, extensive educational programs, and hands-on experience like no other profession. We love working with people and for people so naturally owning our own businesses is fun and easy. The amount of knowledge and resources we can bring to any target market is immeasurable- and it totally helps to be the most trusted profession year after year!

What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses especially qualified to operate a business? Nurses all possess great organizational skills, documentation skills, as well as leadership and delegation skills. Such skills position nurses for business ownership.

What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing? Leah Korkis, BSN, RN, Healthy Now and Later @HealthyNAL #Nurseup #Nursefriendly

New:

What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing? What attracted me to nursing was the fact that in order to be truly good at the job itself, you have to connect with others. This includes discovering their definition of wellness, of pain, of comfort, and of suffering. It's an honor to peek into someone's life and meeting him or her where they are vulnerable in order to build them up through education, prayer, or simply listening.
