Q: Can you have a business and be a full-time nurse?
A: While it depends what your nursing contract says and whether you signed a non-compete and what precisely your new business is going to be doing ongoing compared to those agreements and obligations, if none of that is an issue or concern, then you can create and start your own business. Many people start or have an LLC business or other business that they own and work in and or have on the side. You will want to review your contracts at work and make sure you are not breaking any of your legal work commitments in your potential side or new business.
