You know I am always on the look-out for awesome entrepreneurial healthcare-related companies, right? Well, I just found one that I’m really excited about!
So even though the company’s founder isn’t a nurse per se, he’s an EMS and a fellow health care entrepreneur and his product line rocks. The smart and funny, Mr. Avi Goldstein, has created a clever little solution to the age-old “where do I stash my tape?” problem for nurses, docs, and first responders of every stripe.

In case you haven’t noticed, life moves fast. It also doesn’t seem to matter whether you are a brick-and-mortar or an on-line biz, shortage of time is a constant battle. A million things tug at you all day long, but at the end of the day you still need to find the time to market your business.
Email marketing is one of those valuable tools that allows you to market to prospective customers without breaking the bank. But that too can be a time sucker if you don’t utilize the proper “helper tools” like Autoresponders. Autoresponders are like your own personal assistant, but one that never needs vacation or a break!

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.

Thinking about writing a book? Think no more. It has become easier for nurses (and anyone with a message) to share it with the world than ever before.
Self-publishing technology has literally leveled the playing field.
No more facing rejections from traditional book publishers. You are now in the driver’s seat and you can…plan, schedule, write, publish and promote your own book, easier and cheaper than ever before.
How do I know?
My first book, ‘5 Things They Never Told You in Nursing School,’ was completely self-published, self-promoted via Social Media and hit #1 on Amazon in the Nursing category in under 11 hours on December 11, 2011… That’s how I know it can be done.
(That’s also why from that day on, 11 has been my lucky number! Sorry 34, you were really good to me for a long time, but 11 is my new sweetheart now…ahhh, but I digress…)

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.

It’s a Wonderful Life:
Never Underestimate the Power of Tribes
One of the most memorable Christmas movies of all time is Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life,” starring the incomparable Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. It’s the ultimate feel-good movie, perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered if their life holds meaning.
Here’s the lowdown: George Bailey, played by Stewart, is on the verge of collapse. His small building and load company is on the verge of bankruptcy, the mean rich man in town is poised to swoop in, and though he has a house full of adorable kids and a gorgeous wife (Reed), there’s never enough money to go around. George decides his family and business would be better off without him. On the brink of suicide, he’s saved by a fledgling angel, Clarence.
