Learn some great tips on starting your own business. Nurses don't have to just work at the bedside. Read this book and you will be thinking of how you can make your dream a reality!"

One of the more frequent questions nurses ask us is, "How Do I Start My Own Nursing Agency." We'll be constantly updating this information and adding resources.

To Start a Nursing agency, you need to understand how to start a business in general. For that reason, we're covering business basics here as well:

The steps are simple, often the owner is not required to be a licensed nurse. We'll discuss both the steps to start up any business, and a Nursing Agency on this page.

Please Choose from the following:

  • Starting A Business in Any State: Developing a Business Plan, Choosing A Name, Logo, Business Organization, setting up an office, etc.
  • Starting A Nursing Agency, Basic Steps.
  • Nursing Entrepreneurs who have started their own agencies or work as nursing recruiters:

    What's the first step to take in starting a business? Dear Donna, Nursingspectrum.com:"I am interested in starting my own staffing agency for nurses. I plan to partner with someone who has the "business sense." I would like to know what would be the most important first steps to take, to get started. Any advice will be helpful."
    http://www.nursingspectrum.com/CareerManagement/AskTheExperts/DearDonna/detail.cfm?ID=2463

    There are several authors that have made up "how to" manuals you can purchase that will give you step by step instructions. We have a few listed below. Before you purchase any manuals, be sure to check when they were last updated and what they contain. Some provide more forms and sample documents than "how to" instructions. You're looking for a product that offers a little of both and support after the sale.

    "The National Nurses in Business Association, Inc. recommends the startup guide "How to Start a Temporary Staffing Service," published by Entrepreneur Magazine and recommended by the Small Business Association. Starting a nursing agency is a difficult process that is often made more difficult by poorly written manuals and guide books providing misinformation. The words nursing agency is medical lingo. The correct small business category is healthcare temporary staffing service. Starting a temporary staffing service requires knowledge of the industry, and the rules and requirements of federal, state, and local governments. Because the industry has its roots in the 1890s, protocols are well established. Increase your chance of success by learning the industry from the business experts."

    Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."

    Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
