How great to see a forum of nurses who took a risk and work for themselves. I left nursing about five years ago. I felt bad with the shortage but the stress was getting to me..sadly because of the shortage!

I work for myself now buying scrubs wholesale through a distributor and selling uniforms direct to schools, hospitals etc. I started selling the to co-workers and it just took off.

I do miss the nursing field sometimes but working from home full time has been wonderful and I earn more now than I did with all the overtime as an LPN. THis is a huge help with a three year old and newborn twins!

I know starting your own business can be scary but if the desire is there I promise it is well worth it!!

I am curious what other businesses Nurses are performing.
