Traits & Qualities That Make Nurses Excellent Entrepreneurs, @HealthyNAL @NIInstitute @CoachScala @NurseMentorNanc @patbemis @patiyer @hopefulhealer

New!

What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses especially qualified to operate a business? Nursing is truly an eclectic blend of skills. We already have foresight as a part of clinical judgment; effective communication, advocacy, efficiency, delegation, and multi-tasking to boot. When these are honed to a specific population or purpose, the sky is the limit.
 
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.

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!
