On episode 509 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dr. Jessica Chung, the founder of the International Business Association for Nurses (IBAN).

In the course of their conversation, Keith and Dr. Chung discuss the multitude of independent business opportunities available to nurse practitioners, nurses, and even physician assistants.

According to Dr. Chung, the sky's the limit for what nurses and APRNs can accomplish in the entrepreneurial space as long as they have the education and awareness to tackle each step thoughtfully, and adhere to the legal and regulatory frameworks of their scope of practice and the state and municipality where they live and work.
