One of the more frequent questions nurses ask us is, "How Do I Start My Own Nursing Agency." We'll be constantly updating this information and adding resources. Last update was 9/20/03.

To Start a Nursing agency, you need to understand how to start a business in general. For that reason, we're covering business basics here as well:

The steps are simple, often the owner is not required to be a licensed nurse. We'll discuss both the steps to start up any business, and a Nursing Agency on this page.

Please Choose from the following:

  • Starting A Business in Any State: Developing a Business Plan, Choosing A Name, Logo, Business Organization, setting up an office, etc.
  • Starting A Nursing Agency, Basic Steps.

  • Nursing Entrepreneurs who have started their own agencies or work as nursing recruiters:

    There are several authors that have made up "how to" manuals you can purchase that will give you step by step instructions. We have a few listed below. Before you purchase any manuals, be sure to check when they were last updated and what they contain. Some provide more forms and sample documents than "how to" instructions. You're looking for a product that offers a little of both and support after the sale.

    My Own Business: Private Home Care Dispatcher Companions-Aides-Housekeepers-Nurses by Flo Wheatley:"This book, Private Home Care Dispatcher: My Own Business,is a guideline to starting your own business making jobs available in communities having trouble finding jobs. The book illustrates different kinds of forms, sample inquiry letters and other important information which will help in getting a business up and running. We like to think of it as an "Employment Agency for Caregivers."

    How to Start an Elderly Home Care Business With the Change in Your Pocket by Gwen M. Walker:"This book is a step by step guide for starting and operating a Elderly homecare business. It includes information on: setting up a agency; start-up cost; marketing; staffing; sources of capital; business plan; advertising; record-keeping; pricing for services ; sample forms such as client and employees contracts; assessment forms; and much more."

    Nurse Staffing Software:

    Premier Computer Systems, Inc.:"The healthcare industry is ever changing at a rapid pace. Institutional patient census keeps fluctuating, new technologies require special training, and qualified professionals are getting harder to recruit and retain. Most computer staffing systems are not designed to accommodate the special needs of the healthcare field let alone keep up with the rate of change. To help you succeed in this ever changing environment, Premier Computer Systems (PCS) designs and develops Medical Staffing Software Solutions, namely StaffMED™. A product resulting from a combined 75 plus years of experience, StaffMED™ is a fully integrated software system designed to meet the unique needs of the medical staffing industry. It automates the day to day tasks of daily (per diem) scheduling along with credential and skills management. It also provides effective communication tools to maximize the productivity of your staff."

    Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
