From Bedside to Business: How a Nursing Discharge Plan Mirrors a Business Plan

Nurses, did you know your skills in crafting detailed discharge plans can help you create a business plan? Just as a discharge plan ensures patient success, a business plan lays out the steps to achieve your dream career.

Parallels Between Discharge Plans and Business Plans

1. Assessment (Understanding Your Client):
   Identify your dream client and their needs, just like assessing a patient.
   Reflection: Who is your ideal client? What problems do they face, and how can you help?

2. Goals (Defining Outcomes):
   Set clear objectives for your business, such as launching a program or reaching revenue targets.
   Reflection: What do you want to achieve in 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years?

3. Interventions (Action Steps):
   Outline the steps to build your business, like defining your niche, setting up a website, and creating services.
   Reflection: List three immediate actions to get started.

4. Resources (Gathering Support):
   Equip yourself with tools, mentors, or certifications to support your business.
   Reflection: What resources do you have, and what do you still need?

5. Evaluation (Measuring Success):
   Regularly review your progress and adjust as needed to stay on track.
   Reflection: What’s working well, and what can you improve?
