JULY 13, 2023

It’s an ongoing debate… Some view business planning as essential, whereas others think it’s optional. And some situations may or may not require a business plan. For example: Small, low-risk startups where the business owner has lots of experience or has started a business before. And there are Nurse Practitioners who “fall” into their practice. They work with another provider ready to retire, so they take over the business.

Nurses are astute clinicians often endowed with a keen helping of intuitive discernment. This ability to sense that something is wrong — or about to go wrong — has likely saved countless patients’ lives over centuries of nursing care.
