Hey guys, on Monday I introduced you to Keith Carlson, one of my co-hosts on RN.FM Radio. Today, I’d like to introduce you to my other partner in crime, Kevin Ross from InnovativeNurse.com.
Kevin is our no-nonsense, tech-savvy, won’t settle for anything less than the very best kind of nurse entrepreneur….and we love him for it!
Here’s Kevin’s motto:
Seek every opportunity for continuing education. A business can never afford to be static. Innovation is the key to success and it is a delicate combination of ever-changing art and science.
He is an ultra-innovative, self-starter and always has his “head on a swivel,” as he likes to say. Early in his professional career he realized that if he wasn’t working his passion and living up to his potential…he was just existing and ‘getting by’…that’s painful for some of us to recognize….and it was a painful realization for him as well.
By digging deep and identifying his passion and then strategically pursuing it, Kevin was able to achieve a level of wellness, career satisfaction and purpose that few achieve.

Hey guys, let me introduce Keith Carlson, my Co-Host at “RN.FM Radio: Nursing Unleashed!“.
Keith has been a nurse for over 15 years and has been blogging and working online successfully since 2005. Recently, he has begun a nurse coaching practice, where he helps nurses rediscover their passion and live a more fulfilled life.
Keith believes that, ‘Success breeds success…how you think and who you hang out with on a daily basis will determine your frame of mind.’
Most nurses and caregivers in general, tend to give so much of themselves that they often forget to care for themselves as well. Who among us hasn’t been there?
The problem is that nurses who forget to take care of themselves are destined to face burnout.

Andrew Lopez found himself spending hours on the Internet looking for additional resources as part of his nursing school projects and was unable to find what he wanted. What started as a frustration in nursing school, soon became an outlet for him to help fellow nurses and students and provide a great income for himself…Andrew’s Nurse Friendly Directories were born.
Do you have a frustration or maybe a passion that might be an answer to a nursing business opportunity?
The Nurse Friendly Directories is a place for nurses and anyone looking for information about nursing as a career path, nursing schools, nurse entrepreneurship, career alternatives, articles written by nurses, nursing specialties, business opportunities for nurses, the various diseases patients encounter and much more.
So many of us are looking for ways to make more money while we are working as a nurse.

5 Things They Never Told You in Nursing School
Hey Guys!
Just wanted to say a big hearty THANK YOU!
I just debuted my first eBook on Amazon as $0.99 download (link here and above) and in one day the book has sky-rocketed to #1 in not one, but 2 nursing categories! Due in no small part due to your killer support and awesome engagement!
If you’re thinking about downloading it, but the $0.99 feels a little steep (lol!), here’s a totally unsolicited review by another nurse blogger whom I’ve never met, except that we follow each other on Twitter because we’re both fighting the same good “nurse entrepreneurship” fight!

The kids are dreaming big, Alice!
All I have to say to this video is, “You, Go Girl!”
Watching this student nurse presentation on becoming a nurse entrepreneur makes me so proud and gives me hope that younger nurses are starting to recognize their worth and realize that there is so much inherent value to what they bring to the marketplace!
If she’s planning to make it happen for herself….what are you still waiting for?

I have fun playing Texas Hold ‘Em with friends. Did you know that playing the game or watching shows like World Tour of Poker can help you succeed in business?
I didn’t realize that while I was learning to play, I was gaining valuable business skills that have translated into money in my pocket. (And no, I don’t mean by gambling).
Let me explain. I learned the four following things from playing poker.
First, I learned how to make the best of the cards I was dealt.
I learned when to play a hand, when to take risks, and when to throw the cards away and wait to act with better ones. This kind of discernment helps a business owner make sound decisions about working with assets and when to cut a project loose if it’s not producing good results.
I found that when starting your own business, you will invest 2 assets—your time and your money. Depending on where you start, you’ll use one of these assets more than the other. A realistic understanding of which asset you’re working from can help you make the most of what you’ve got.
The second lesson I learned from poker is that you’ve got to use a strategy to win.
Good players spend years learning from each other and developing a strategy that’s right for them. Their strategy is reliable and flexible enough to adapt to new situations.
They learn something new from each game, and they actively look for the lessons when they lose a hand. They know how much they’re willing to bet in an evening, and they aren’t pushed off course by setbacks because their strategy takes the slow time into account.
