The nurse entrepreneur. Legal aspects of owning a business.

For those nurse executives and managers with an innovative flair and a desire for increased personal and professional autonomy and flexibility, becoming an entrepreneur holds promise of potential financial and personal rewards. The freedom associated with flexible hours and job setting enables many nurses to balance work, family, or school commitments. Along with these rewards come the legal responsibilities of owning and managing a business--something many nurse entrepreneurs believe is well worth the investment.

Old traditions, new realities.

While some practicing physicians are bitter and resentful about the changes sweeping health care delivery and financing, others are learning to adapt, and finding new ways to lead. Surprisingly, in learning to retool what they do, physicians are discovering that many of the new roles and jobs now emerging are based on valued practices of the past.

Professional conduct and accountability.

The UKCC Code of Professional Conduct provides registered nurses, midwives and health visitors with an extended definition of the phrase 'professional accountability'. It emphasises the primacy of the interests of patients and clients. It is essential that the professions maintain a good standing and reputation in order that the trust and confidence of the public are maintained. 'As a registered nurse, midwife or health visitor, you are personally accountable for your practice...' Accountability is not an optional extra-you cannot choose to be accountable for some aspects of your practice but not others.

[Assessment of job satisfaction of the nursing staff].

OBJECTIVE: To find the overall and specific levels of job satisfaction of nursing staff in an Area's Health Institutions. DESIGN: Descriptive study of a crossover type of a population base. SETTING: Primary (PC) and Specialist (SC) Care within INSALUD in Madrid's Area 10. PARTICIPANTS: Nursing staff with at least six months in their post. All 147 working in PC were included and a random sample of 130 from SC. INSTRUMENT: The Font-Roja questionnaire, which measures overall job satisfaction and a series of specifics, was used. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: 68.2% replied. By means of a factorial analysis of the main components, 9 dimensions explaining 59.2% of the variance were obtained. There was average general job satisfaction (3.05 +/- 0.35). The most valued dimension was that which referred to work content (4.01 +/- 0.59) and the least valued was tension associated with the job (2.47 +/- 0.70). CONCLUSIONS: Nursing staff at both levels of Health Care are less satisfied in the areas of "tension associated with work," "promotion prospects" and "over-work". The greatest satisfaction was found in "work content" and "relationships with colleagues". PC nursing staff showed greater satisfaction in "communication with superiors", "satisfaction with the post", "tension associated with the job" and "professional autonomy." Temporary scored higher than permanent staff in "satisfaction with the post" and "tension associated with the post." In general the afternoon shift provides most satisfaction.
