Abstract

Professional nurses who are embarking on their journey as entrepreneurs should prioritize formal nursing examinations and research into the most beneficial business resources, with a focus on nursing. Their goal should be to establish and expand a business or organization that supports the healthcare system and fosters financial success. Most nurses aspiring to run a successful business possess critical entrepreneurial traits, such as innovative ideas, enthusiasm for their work, determination, passion, and a strong desire for success. They invest significant effort in achieving their goals and have the courage to explore new avenues. Additionally, they have knowledge and understanding of risk management, remain flexible in dealing with changing situations, and effectively address problems as they arise. They believe in themselves, possess the ability to control their actions, and have high confidence in their own abilities. They demonstrate innovative thinking and creative design skills. They are capable of recognizing and identifying business opportunities, with a firm grasp of business development. They exhibit strong leadership qualities, promote teamwork, and foster a culture of inspiration for organizational development. The entrepreneurial mindset of professional nurses serves as a driving force for self-development as well as for the development of businesses or organizations and the enhancement of the healthcare industry through the pursuit of opportunities, creative thinking, research, digital technology, and innovation within the bounds of the law and professional ethics.
