A Pocket Guide to Independent Nursing

by L. Ward James (PRN Press - $27.95)

This "how-to" guide describes another alternative for those nurses disgruntled with working for others and shows how they may set up their own independent nursing practice. There are useful chapters on forming different types of entities, selling your services, getting paid for your work, protecting yourself, insurance, ethical considerations, regulatory issues, and much more. It is an essential reference for anyone considering going solo. While the primary focus is directed to the nurse marketing his/her services to healthcare facilities, information and ideas are included for nurse entrepreneurs.

Examples Booklet ($24.95)

This essential package, compiled by NAIN directors, contains examples of documents that will be useful to the beginning independent contractor. Included are a sample business plan for the beginning independent contractor, a sample contract to be used when contracting with healthcare facilities, and samples of a time sheet, rate and terms sheet, and invoice. The packet also shows an example of letterheads, envelopes, and business cards. You can customize these forms and contracts to your own use, but they will provide a wealth of ideas and a substantial savings in originating these forms. While this packet is primarily for the independent contractor, all independent nurses should find it useful.

Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide
by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever (Princeton University Press - $24.90

This book teaches negotiation techniques primarily for women although it is applicable for all independent contractors, both men and women. The authors state, "With women's progress toward full economic and social equality stalled, women's lives becoming increasing complex, and the structures of business changing, the ability to negotiate is no longer a luxury but a necessity." All independent nurses can benefit from improving their negotiating techniques.
