Dear Nurses,


There are four main reasons for the rise in nurses’ careers converging with entrepreneurship. For most nurses, it is a mixture of the four reasons in varying degrees. They are: Creativity - nurses are interested in improving on the status quo, creating new ways, processes or programs. Control - nurses want more control over how good ideas are implemented. They want to be their own boss and have control over their schedules, allowing for flexibility on their own terms. Challenge - nurses want to maximize their potential, solve problems, delve into new undertakings and achieve a certain level of success. And, Cash - nurses don’t want to be restricted financially.


Consider the role entrepreneurship could play in designing your future by joining the NNBA and attending our annual signature conference. Learn from the experts, and gain massive value from industry leaders and successful nurse entrepreneurs who have blazed trails in healthcare entrepreneurship.

Featured Article Highlights

Reading Copy Writing Formula will take you at least 15 minutes, but it is well worth your time. The first featured article below is more like a tutorial and is packed full of valuable information about copywriting. In every business I have been involved with during the past 34 years, I have written and published a newsletter. If I knew this information earlier on, I know my copywriting would have been better!


Americans health depends on the well-being of our healthcare workforce. Nurses make up the largest portion of that workforce. Keith Carlson’s article The State of the Nursing Workforce gleans nurses’ responses from Vivian Health’s recent survey. He highlights several factors that have become more prominent post COVID. For these reasons and more, if employers, administrators, and legislators are not listening and effecting change for nurses, perhaps the better option for nurses is to go from being employees to being entrepreneurs.


I’m placing this as the last featured article below because I wanted it to follow the information you would read in the State of Nursing 2024 article. For some reason, in a service business, there is often an expectation to be available for your clients at any hour of the day. Charging More For After Hours Work not only provides creative pricing strategies, it stresses clear communication with customers and identifies important boundaries aligned with the company’s values. This is helpful to keep in mind as we design and grow our business.

The State of Nursing 2024


Daily Nurse – Keith Carlson

The nursing profession is a multifaceted group that works in a variety of clinical and non-clinical roles. As the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, the state of the nursing profession has a significant impact on the state of healthcare as a whole. Assessing where nurses find themselves provides insight into what’s going well and what could improve in the world of working health professionals.


Vivian Health’s Healthcare Workforce Report for 2024 is one such glimpse into the state of the nursing workforce, and its observations are worth noting and learning from.


The Tipping Point?


In Vivian’s report, healthcare professionals’ attitudes about their careers and well-being is examined in detail based on responses from 863 individuals. With an aging population and the end of the emergent aspects of the pandemic, those who work in healthcare are assessing where they find themselves in this new chapter. The authors of the study introduce it thus:

Charging More for After Hours Work


Buffer

Anyone who has worked in client services knows there’s often an expectation to be available for your clients at any hour of the day, no questions asked.


Having spent many years in PR and communications, I once internalized this norm. I thought that serving clients effectively required being hyper-responsive and available at all times, even if I was over capacity and not doing my best work.


So, when I set out to start my own PR firm that exclusively serves child- and family-focused organizations, I knew I didn’t want that life for my team, my clients, or myself. I wanted to be able to care for myself and my team so we could show up as our best selves for our clients and community.


As I was getting Forthright Advising off the ground five years ago, I tried to reimagine a model of client services that worked both for our employees and our clients — a model where happy, healthy teammates have balance.
