title: Financial management for entrepreneurs.
abstract: Thousands of nurses are leaving corporate life and the bedside for the world of entrepreneurship. It is a healthy sign for the profession. Being in business is one of the best ways to learn about ultimate risk-taking, an experience woefully lacking in the world of hospital- or corporate-based nursing. There seems to be no way to soften the ultimate risk of embarking on a business, although each person can certainly learn what worked for others and what to avoid. In this article, I outline some of the key things that worked and did not work for me during my 20-year stint as a nurse entrepreneur.
