title: The nurse entrepreneur. Legal aspects of owning a business.
abstract: For those nurse executives and managers with an innovative flair and a desire for increased personal and professional autonomy and flexibility, becoming an entrepreneur holds promise of potential financial and personal rewards. The freedom associated with flexible hours and job setting enables many nurses to balance work, family, or school commitments. Along with these rewards come the legal responsibilities of owning and managing a business--something many nurse entrepreneurs believe is well worth the investment.
