This is a time of golden opportunity for nursing as we are achieving more autonomy and taking a central role in providing a wide variety of cost-effective healthcare services. Thousands of nurse entrepreneurs nationwide have already accomplished this by starting their own business and are enjoying independence, professional respect and increased financial rewards. Now more than ever it’s time for nurses to expand our profession through entrepreneurship.
