We test medical devices for approval by FDA prior to clinical trials. We also provide physician training on newly approved devices. The majority of the devices that we test and train on are for cardiovascular therapies, although we are also experienced in orthopedic, general surgery and urology applications. My job entails the business management of the facility, including budgets for equipment, expansion and personnel, identifiying new client markets, expanding market share, project coordination according to FDA requirements and regulatory guidelines, and surgical center scheduling. Our facility has four operating rooms and currently employees a staff of 21.
Many nurses are also entrepreneurs.
Some run medical transcription services, or board and care facilities, while others provide occupational health consulting or health education services. If you enjoy teaching, you may consider pursuing certification as a CPR instructor or Basic First Aid Instructor. If you currently hold a LVN or RN license, you are already eligible for certification as a Basic First Aid Instructor.
