WHAT IS "NEW DIRECTIONS FOR NURSES"?

New Directions for Nurses is the primary project of Awakening to Grace, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

We teach nurses how to start and grow successful businesses from their education, empathy, and passion for service.

• Entrepreneurial nurses need business education that is targeted specifically to their mindset, ethics, and experience because nurses typically think and act differently than the predominant business culture does.
• We would like to see nurses appreciating the value of their ideas and learning the best paths to developing them rather than giving their ideas to other companies to profit from.

We believe that if more nurses learn how to start and grow successful businesses, they will contribute to the common good in new and effective ways. As a result, nurses will develop more professional autonomy and the public will benefit from that power shift.

BUSINESS EDUCATION DESIGNED BY NURSES, FOR NURSES

The Nurses Business Incubator is an online business education system that helps nurses imagine, test, and validate their power to develop effective health care programs and services.

• Our tuition cost is in line with the average for quality specialized business education.
• Many nurses can afford to pay the Incubator tuition in full, but some equally dedicated nurses need help.
  • One of our core values is accessibility, so we offer a work-study system in which nurses can earn up to 75% of their tuition through participating in fundraising and mentoring newer members of the Incubator when they have the skills to do so.  After the fundraising ends, work-study scholarship recipients can pay the balance of their tuition and start their education or they can fundraise again in the next round.
  • Our work-study system creates a culture of caring that strengthens the Incubator community and the participants' buy-in, action-taking, and integration of core skills that are needed to start a business.

Your donations provide the funds for our work-study system to operate.
