Best Contribution of Entrepreneurship in Nursing

The best contribution of entrepreneurship in nursing is I believe change. A change for the betterment of the profession, the professionals, the practice and the clients. Going to the basic definition of entrepreneurship, it is innovation. Innovation in a form of development by means of the use of available resources such as technology, evidence-based ideas and practices and strategies. Therefore, nursing entrepreneurship is an innovative development both professional and social, as well as business creation and improvement.
      In nursing profession, the contribution of entrepreneurship is the creation of a sub specialty in nursing that provides an opportunity to the professionals in building themselves professionally and financially.
      In addition, the involvement of entrepreneurship to professional nurses is the opportunity to utilize the learned skills, knowledge and attitude for self and professional improvement. Self improvement includes income generating business for the use of the skills and talents that a nurse has. Also, it will help the nurse become nursing consultants in various fields that range from clinical consulting to service and process management consulting to legal process management consulting and work as expert nurses and witnesses. For instance, David Martin, RN, founded VeinInnovations, a company that has grown into one of the largest and most successful vein health and treatment clinics in Georgia, USA. He's become adept at developing and adopting new techniques marketing and growing a successful clinic and managing staff.
     Theresa Campa, DNP, APN, NP-C, is assistant professor and entrepreneur based in Marmora, NJ. She started a business that provides educational seminars to nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students, and specializes in clinically enhancing courses - procedures, diagnostic, test interpretations, etc.
     In legal process management consulting, Fern Wasserman, MSN, RN, ANP-BC APRN, CLNC, is president and founder of New York Legal Nurse Consultants Inc., and works both as a legal nurse consultant and an advance care planning facilitator. Wasserman works with clients privately to assist them in completing their advance directives so they're able to effectively communicate their wishes to family, loved ones and healthcare agents.
      To the community, the contribution of nursing entrepreneurship is easy accessibility to the health treatment and management, as well as up to date treatment modalities to various diseases and illnesses.
      In a nutshell, we can take into account that with nursing entrepreneurship, healthcare setting brought a big lift to all of us, especially in nursing profession. The innovation brought about by entrepreneurship gave us a drastic change in the profession, as well as the community. Nursing from simple and basic caring to a “profession of a little of everything” as I always believe includes nursing entrepreneurship as one of the motivation for change, and as what they say, the only constant in this world is “Change”, so as in the Nursing profession, change for the betterment of the humanity.
