“…Excluding non-research was a challenging task, as 49% of the results were non-scientific texts, such as news items, feature articles, opinions, personal stories, advertisements and texts for membership or union journals. Wilson and Averis' (2002) and Drennan et al' (2007) literature reviews also describe this. A total of 296 documents did not have abstracts; thus, I read the first paragraph of the text instead.…”

“…Four previous reviews and conceptual papers from the field of nursing have shed light on entrepreneurial nursing. One aspect regarded the applicability and relevance of entrepreneurial nursing in society (Wilson & Averis, 2002) and in various types of organisations (Drennan et al, 2007). Wilson et al (2012) explored the differences between entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and social entrepreneurship in nursing.…”

Aim: This study explores the main characteristics of entrepreneurial nursing. Background: Nurses have acted entrepreneurially in a multitude of ways since the very beginning of the nursing profession. Still, it is unclear what it means for a nurse to be entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurial nurses are often described inconsistently, by non-inclusive terms not founded in research. There is a need to examine the essence of entrepreneurial nursing roles. Evaluation: I conducted the research as a systematic literature review of 647 documents. Analysing empirical descriptions of entrepreneurial nurses' employment status, contexts, knowledge, activities, barriers and motivations led to the description of two entrepreneurial nursing roles. Key issues: The employment status of entrepreneurial nurses represent an important difference in their activities, challenges and motivations. Conclusions: Entrepreneurial nurses may act as nurse entrepreneurs or nurse intrapreneurs. These roles are empirically rooted in the field of nursing, and theoretically rooted in the field of entrepreneurship. Implications for Nursing Management: Entrepreneurial nurses are influenced by the support they get and the challenges they face in the healthcare system. Knowing the characteristics of entrepreneurial nurses are important for nurse managers, as they lead employees who may become nurse entrepreneurs or nurse intrapreneurs.

“…In addition, the study compiled sociodemo-graphic data on the participants and described the factors which influenced their decision to engage in private practice. Results of the last two aspects of the study are not reported on in this paper, but have been published in other nursing journals (Wilson & Averis, 2002;Wilson & Jarman, 2002. ) Surveys are a method of collecting information from a number of individuals to clarify issues and learn about the larger population from which the sample was drawn (Duoba & Maindonald, 1988).…”

The changing Australian health care system is creating new opportunities for nurses who work directly with clients in private practice settings. This study examines the scope of practice of a cohort of nurses in private practice. In a questionnaire sent to 106 self-employed nurse entrepreneurs, questions were asked pertaining to the participants' scope of practice, their clients, the types of services offered, and their fee structures. Questions about scope of practice were divided into domains of clinical practice, business consultancy, education, and research. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected for a final sample 54 eligible responses. Participants had been in private practice for an average of 7.6 years (range: 1-20) and reported a mean of 21 years of nursing experience (range: 4-42) before entering private practice. Over half held diplomas in specialty areas. Most participants reported clinical practice, consultancy, or education as the primary work domain; research was much less important as a work activity. Nurses reported difficulties with building client base and receiving adequate fees for service, particularly in clinical practice. Increasing awareness within the nursing profession and health sector about various aspects of private practice nursing could improve service quality for their clients.

“…Although not a new notion, as nurses operated their own businesses as ‘private duty nurses’ from before 1900, private practice nursing in Australia has emerged more strongly over the past 15 years with professional networks forming under the auspices of the Royal College of Nursing Australia 3,4 . Self‐employed nurse entrepreneurs who earn some or all of their income from private practice now establish businesses as clinical consultants, researchers, educators and management consultants 5 . For the purpose of this article, a nurse entrepreneur is considered to be a person who develops, organizes, manages and assumes the risks of a business, and is:…”

There is little known about private practice nursing as an area of advanced practice. As more nurses take the option to develop private practice, the experiences of and influences on nurses currently in private practice might be a useful guide to the pitfalls and difficulties which might be encountered. In addition, an understanding of the experiences of and influences might assist nursing organizations and health services to provide support to nurses who play an integral part in health care delivery in the community. A research study was undertaken utilizing a two-round Delphi Technique to elicit and assess consensus on the reasons for nurses going into business and the experiences they encountered in becoming and being a nurse entrepreneur. The study instrument in round one comprised a questionnaire with statement headings inviting opinions on the influences and experiences of nurses in business. In the second round, levels of agreement were elicited from responders on collated opinions from round one, including statements formed from comments written in round one. The initial questionnaire also included closed questions to obtain a profile of nurses in private practice. Responders were 59 nurses in private practice in round one and 54 nurses in round two. The themes raised could be grouped under headings of influences, advantages/disadvantages, education/experience, skills/knowledge, characteristics and barriers. The level of agreement on the themes was reasonably high. Dissent occurred on issues of increased income, professional image and support structures. This Delphi study has identified key areas of consensus on the experiences of nurses in private practice who have extended their career into the business arena. It has also identified areas in which further work needs to be carried out to understand this work of nurse entrepreneurs.
