LindaYou are facing a dilema that more and more NAs are facing. Yes, we do have NAs in the network who have stuck out on their own as private practioners. When time permits I would like to form a chapter just for self employed NAs and develop a hand book to guide you through some of the predictable stages for establishing your program. I can refer you to several of our NAs but would want to do this privately so do email me at And I will put you in contact with John, Lorene and Debbie PD.Best of luckGenevieve Gipson RN MEd RNC, Director National Network of Career Nursing Assistants[email protected] - emailwww.cna-network.org - web site~ 2003~Celebrating 26 years as a professional organization for nursing assistants.The year of "The Great American Caregiver" (C)26th Annual National Nursing Assistants Week - June 12-19, 2003
