| What is my number one regret in nursing? Not starting my Nurse career coaching business sooner!! In nursing school, the focus is truly on passing the NCLEX and not much time is spent exploring all the different opportunities in nursing. It is time to shatter the old narratives and expand our horizons! Traditionally nurses do not look to entrepreneurship as an option, however more nurses are now seeing its benefits! When nurses are truly passionate about what they do, they are truly unstoppable!
Here are 7 Reasons why you should start your nursing business!
1. Expertise
You are an expert in nursing, and you have a plethora of information to share! Yes you do!! There are over 80 nursing roles! How do I know? Because I wrote them all down one day to prepare for my Linkedln live show! Even as a nursing student, you have a tremendous amount of knowledge to share. As a nursing student you can start you own tutoring business and tutor other nursing students. The possibilities are endless, and we need to refrain from putting limits on ourselves and our potential. So spread your knowledge!

| Allison Ellsworth started her career on the road, conducting research for the oil and gas industry. After seven years, she felt it taking a toll on her health.
One thing that seemed to help: Drinking shots of apple cider vinegar. Unfortunately, Ellsworth hated the taste. "It was one of those things I was just choking down every day," she tells Inc.'s What I Know podcast. "It wasn't something I was looking forward to, but I loved the health benefits."
Ellsworth took her discontent to her own kitchen. She brewed up batches of tea and prebiotic sodas, aiming for a tasty, fruity, shelf-stable, drink that was low in sugar. "I started just tinkering around for months on infusing different vinegars and simmering down raspberries," Ellsworth says. Finally, she came to a drink that was a bit like a healthy soda, a bit like kombucha--but a whole new thing. Her husband, Steven, who'd become her co-founder, liked it. So did customers at her local Texas farmers' market. Read More |

| Three years after the pandemic shutdown, the crisis may be receding, but we don’t seem any closer to the “new normal” than we were back then, especially when it comes to the workplace. More than two-thirds of Americans aren’t feeling engaged with their work, according to a recent Gallup poll, and job unhappiness is at a record high. Many are considering switching careers altogether. Forget the Great Resignation. Millions of Americans are looking for a Great Reinvention.
But how do you figure out what’s next? In the popular imagination, reinvention requires some kind of abrupt transformation or sudden epiphany, a metamorphosis from ugly duckling to swan. Mark Zuckerberg goes from college kid to tech billionaire. Boom. Vera Wang from figure skater to bridal designer. It’s daunting. It seems unattainable to the rest of us—a big disincentive to even try.
But that conventional wisdom is wrong. I’ve spent the past three years interviewing people who have reimagined their work lives, ranging in age from their 20s to their 90s. Read More |
