Are you thinking about becoming an entrepreneur nurse instead of getting a job at a local hospital? Most people who go to nursing school think that the end goal has to be working in a hospital in some fashion, and they do not realize that they actually have other options. When jobs are hard to come by, these people become discouraged. They may start doing odd jobs just to make ends meet. They may give up on their dreams altogether because finding that career just does not seem realistic to them any longer. You do not have to suffer this same fate.You may have heard people say that it is much better to create a job than to find a job. In many ways, this is very true. Trying to find a job just means that you have to compete with everyone else in your field. It means that you are at the mercy of your employer. You can be fired whenever they decide that you are no longer needed.

You have to sell yourself to people in interviews; if you do not have great interviewing skills, you could be passed over for jobs for which you are incredibly qualified. These same types of issues do not face you if you start your own career.One option that you should consider is offering in-home care to those who need it. Many people who have birth defects need to have constant care. Parents cannot provide this at all times because they need to go to work to make money if the bills are going to be paid. You can be hired to come to the house every day and care for the person. You will be using your nursing skills as a caregiver. This is slightly different than how you may use them in a hospital since the end goal will not be to help the person get better. Instead, you will just be helping them to live the life that they have in comfort. However, you may find more satisfaction in this than in working on a hospital floor.Similarly, you could start a business with other people in your position where you provide care to the elderly. Many elderly people do not want to move to nursing homes or retirement centers because they do not need constant care. They do not want to leave behind the homes that they have known for many years. They still feel fairly independent, and they do not want to give this up.

At the same time, they need help with tasks like taking showers, cooking, cleaning, and going shopping. They may just need someone to drive them around. You can provide this assistance to many different clients for a few hours each day. Again, this is just a different way to utilize everything that you know about being a nurse.As you can see, it is not hard to find other ways to use your skills. Are you sick of trying to find a traditional job? You need to look into the idea of making a job for yourself. This can be very rewarding. It also gives you the chance to be your own boss, so you will have more job security. Working for yourself could be just the career that you need.Copyright ?? 2012 Nurse Entrepreneur Network

Nonproject managers

Gone are those days when we entirely rely upon our bosses or project heads to decide where to head next in a running project process. Today project management consultancies and various management tools are there to take care of this headache.

In the field of project management, the manager addressed a number of people and problems that are juggling between. And this becomes more difficult in the absence of technology. Although they are increasingly becoming aware of the usage of technology but still facing challenges. The reason is that they still stick to those desktop based applications which are meant for individual use on the other hand, is carried out with the whole team effort and every person involved in a needs to be updated about what is going on. Hence with these desktop based applications, simultaneous update is not possible.

The statement of work: It covers all the deliverables of a project and can go down to a low level of description.

The Project charter: It’s the document that turns a project idea into a programmable piece and this document finally gives you an authority to work as a project manager. This defines the allocated owners and funding for the project. In short without this document, your project doesn’t exist.

The project management plan: This is a huge document that includes everything you need to know and manage during the project journey. It includes: – The scope baseline. – The schedule baseline – The cost baseline. Again, it should be descriptive enough to justify your project investment.

The Action Log: This is required to keep a track of every team member’s action plan. Although with the modern project management tools, each person involved in an is aware of what other person is doing but still maintaining this document is a part of traditional project management services.

Status Reports: These are important since you use them to get information from your stakeholders on a regular basis. These are the formally written documents to record a progress.

Budget: And lastly the document with less text more numbers. It has all the calculations to set out the information about the contract and what financial flow you are going to follow. Trust me; it is a real tough challenge to get your invoices paid off, so once you find out how to note it down to save your time next month.

When managers use research, they are applying the methods of science to the art of management and all business undertakings operate in the world of uncertainty. There is no unique method which can entirely eliminate uncertainty; however, research methodology, more than any other procedure, can minimize the degree of uncertainty. Thus it reduces the probability of making a wrong choice amongst alternative courses of action. This is particularly significant in the light of increasing the competition and growing size which make the task of choosing the best course of action difficult for any business enterprise.

It is imperative that any type of organization in the present environment needs the systematic supply of information coupled with tools of analysis for making the sound decisions which involve the minimum risk. Under this context, the research methodology plays a very important role.

Research is not an existing bag of techniques and it is not a fishing expedition or an encyclopedic gathering of assorted facts. It is purposeful investigation. It provides a structure for the decision making. There are three parts involved in any investigation namely; 1) the implicit question method; 2) the explicit answer proposed; 3) collection, analysis and interpretation of the information leading from the question to the answer.

In fact, the third part is the defense that justifies the recommendation and is viewed as research. For example, the following statement can be considered: “We recommend that model X television can be priced at $15000”. This is the recommendation forwarded to the marketing head by the marketing manager in charge of research wing. The implicit question posed in this quote is what should be the selling price of the model? The explicit answer is $15000. The third part deals with collection, analysis and interpretation of the information leading from the question to the answer of $15000.

The word: “research” identifies a process by which the organization attempts to supply the information required for making sound management decisions. In fact the research is not synonymous with common sense. The difference revolves around words such as “systematic”, objective and reproducible. Both research and common sense depend on information; the distinction between them lies in the procedures and methods adopted by which the information is obtained and used in arriving at conclusions. The research cannot address itself to the complete information on a particular subject. As such, the two secondary characteristics of research specify “relevance” and “control”.

When it comes to good research, the systematic approach is very much essential and each step should be so planned that it leads to the next step. It is usually very difficult to go back and correct the mistakes of the previous step; sometimes it is impossible. Even when it is possible, it always involves loss in time and money. Research can be divided into a number of steps and both the number of steps and the names are somewhat arbitrary; however, the recognition of a sequence is crucial. Planning and organization are part of this systematic approach with a lot of emphasis given to the interdependence of various steps.
