Nurses in Business Seminar
November 2013 It’ s time to start thinking outside the box!
Have you thought about being your own boss?
There have always been nurses who have left public healthcare to become involved in healthcare businesses. Some run nursing homes or nursing services; some have set up companies or social enterprises that provide services, education or consultancy.
These nurses are a small percentage of the profession, but changes in the healthcare system, and the increasing scope of professional practice, means that their numbers are likely to grow. This seminar is for nurses who are interested in combining their professional skills with business opportunities and who would like to know more about how to get started.
This workshop aims to provide information for nurses interested in entrepreneurship, self-employment, consulting, or an RN / health business and to share learning and insights by networking with experienced nurse entrepreneurs.
Participants will be able to:
• Describe personal business goals and develop a business description
• Describe the business model that will best suit their business idea
• Identify the target market and revenue model for their business
• Make an action plan for getting their business started
• Identify resources for business planning
