In this Episode, you will meet Nurse entrepreneur Barbara Phillips who is a Nurse Practitioner. Barbara will share her story, offer insight on why nurses should learn the business of Healthcare. Barbara is a great example of a Nurse who challenged the status Quo to create better solutions for the clients that she serve. Entrepreneurship starts with an idea or a better way of doing things. Many nurses are frustrated with the current state of health care. The traditional way that nurses have been practicing has become hard on nurses and the patients that they serve. Nurses are leaders and long to make change that is a win- win for everyone. Business is all about thinking about the needs of others. Nurses enter the profession to make a difference, but living by the rules of others as a nurse can leave you feeling burnt out and unfulfilled. Learning the business of healthcare and becoming an Nurse entrepreneur will allow you to define your legacy and be recognized for your expertise.
The Wealthy Nurse Hour
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
Throughout my career I have noticed that nurses, nurse aides and caregivers are overworked, underpaid and lack the flexibility and freedom to have a satisfying work life balance. As a result, a large number of nurses are leaving traditional nursing and becoming entrepreneurs.
I decided to create the show "The Wealthy Nurse Hour" to establish a platform for nurse entrepreneurs to showcase their business. These Nurse leaders will discuss their journey as entrepreneurs and how they achieved their current success. There are a variety of specialty areas to enter as a nurse entrepreneur. Our guests will give aspiring nurses insight on ways to transition from the bedside to business.
I believe that wealth is a mindset. If an individual can make up their mind to change an unfavorable situation, then they have the ability to live a wealthy life. The possession, or the manifestation, of wealth starts with the way a person thinks.
