| | | | Dear Nurses,
There are many reasons a growing number of nurses are looking to start a business. Regardless of the variety of causes that motivate nurses to look, the results nurses want to achieve are pretty much the same. Nurses desire more autonomy, flexibility, financial compensation, and career satisfaction than is currently available to them inside a conventional setting. Founded in 1985 for this very reason, the NNBA supports nurses with the transition from employee to entrepreneur, mainly through education, mentoring, and networking.
