Like Andy, I LOVE being my own boss, working in my PJ's and being home with my kids.

I put in 25 years as a Charge Nurse and Medical Fraud Investigator, so I figured NOW it's MY time! We vacation (even if it's a mini vacation) every 2-3 months and can vacation all summer if we choose.... ALL business write offs..

I decided to start my own business after 18 years in bedside nursing.
My business is marketing dental and medical discount plans .
The healthcare crisis in this country is horrible and this gives me an opportunity to help others while making money..

I needed more freedom and I wanted to control my own hours.
I am currently working parttime in addition to my business, but my goals are to eventually leave bedside nursing completely.

Well, at 20 years old it didn't bother me that the hospital OWNED me and MY TIME! At 30 I started a Medical Cost Containment Corporation doing medical fraud reviews, certified medical auditing, legal reviews... which honestly owned ME more than ME owning it, and at 40-50, I decided to more follow my passion and have a business Tim and I could work from home, and we LOVE it. We have a life with Vacations now! LOL! Linda/CMAS, BS, RN
