Social networking: why or why not?

Posted in Blogging, Networking at 11:34 pm by LeaRae Keyes, Executive Director, Nurse Entrepreneur Network

I have been hearing more and more about social networking. I have been participating in LinkedIn and Just got started in Twitter. In the past, I tried Ryze and ecadamy.

Are you participating in social networks? If so, which social networks? Why did you decide to participate? What do you get out of participating?

I am really curious about this phenomena and how people are benefitting from it.

The joys of a nursing business home office

Posted in Blogging, home office at 11:47 pm by LeaRae Keyes, Executive Director, Nurse Entrepreneur Network

I absolutely love having a home office. I enjoyed having a home office before the gas prices began going through the roof! However, I love it even more now that I do not have to spend the money on gas to get to work. I also enjoy my commute to work which is down the hall. In the past, I would struggle to keep myself calm in rush hour traffic which seemed like such a waste of time.

My home office is now my sanctuary. I enjoy being able to set the lighting just the way I want it. I don’t have to worry about a “No Fragrance” policy when I want to add essential oils to the air. Playing classical music in the background is so soothing for me. Most of all, I enjoy setting my own working hours. The flexibility to set and control my working hours was the driving force for me in staring my own business over 10 years ago.

What would you most like to change about your current working situation? Could you change this is you had your own business and a home office?

Virginia Tech

Posted in Blogging at 3:37 pm by LeaRae Keyes, Executive Director, Nurse Entrepreneur Network

On this day after the shootings at Virginia Tech, I sit here still in shock over the massacre. The thought that keeps running through my mind is that we are never promised another day. We do not know what tomorrow may bring so we need to make the most of today. Therefore, it is so important that you not put your dreams on hold. 

If you want to start or grow your nurse business, do it now! Identify the step needed break those down into the smallest steps possible Depending on the time you have available take a step every day or at least every week to make your dream a reality.   

If you don’t know where to start go to www.Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com (the Nurse Entrepreneur Network) for ideas, plans, and support.
