In my case, it was a desire to spend more time with my wife and newborn child. I discovered that with my own business, I could earn enough to stay home more. Initially I made enough to stay home an extra day a week, then two and so on.

Here are what some other nurses have to say on why they started their own Nurse-Owned businesses.

What made you decide to start your own business?: I started my LNC business after being contacted by a defense attorney regarding a physician I worked for. He was being sued for malpractice. After reviewing the chart I notified the attorney of several glaring discrepancies between the documentation and the patient's claims. The physician beat the malpractice suit and the attorney said, "you should be an LNC" and I said, "A WHAT?" and the rest is history.

I started my custom embroidery business because God was good enough to match my talent and my need to find something constructive to do after my accident with my knowlege that a lot of nurse entrepreneurs want nice, professional items but can't afford huge orders and big fees. Win win!! Yea God!

I, too, decided that I had spent many years making others wealthy--and wanted more control over my life. I also have a passion for non-toxic homes, and educating families about the dangers--and remedies. This is the most exciting time of my life--and I am contributing to society--and making retirement income!
