Dream It!
Build It!
Live It!
This company was born of my desire to have a career that would allow me to live the lifestyle I wanted. I began by looking at what I wanted my life to look like. I decided I wanted to work from home as a nurse so I could be there for my children while they were growing up. Case management allowed me to do that.
But as my children began to graduate and scatter I realized I needed a change. I didn’t want to have to choose which of my 4 children I would visit that year. I didn’t want to never have a beach vacation or visit Europe because I couldn’t get enough time off for vacation and visiting family. It was time for a change.
So once again I dreamed about what I wanted my life to look like. I decided I wanted to live on a beautiful tropical beach full time, not just vacation there. I wanted to be able to travel to see my family as often as I wanted. But I didn’t want to give up nursing either. I wanted to be a location independent nurse. It seemed impossible.
But it wasn’t! I was able to create a location independent business using my nursing experience, knowledge, background and expertise. We are now living that life we dreamed about. We live on the water in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico. We travel to see our family several times a year. And I’m still a nurse!
We have created a thriving business inspiring and equipping nurses and other healthcare professionals to reach their career and lifestyle goals. It all started with equipping other case managers to pass the CCM Certification Exam. To accomplish this we created:
- The Website – CaseManagementStudyGuide.com,
- The Study Guide – CCM Certification Made Easy
- The Course – Online Case Management Review Course housed at CaseManagersCommunity.com
- And The Community – Case Managers Community Facebook Group
Without our websites, we would not have a business at least not the location independent one we dreamed of. We wanted to equip other nurses embarking on the entrepreneurial journey with the ability to have a web presence without becoming a webmaster thus, Veritas Web Solutions. You supply the content, we supply the website.
Our book is a huge part of our business. But going from nurse to successfully published author is not easy. Publishing with a traditional publishing company is time-consuming. In today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment that means your book could be outdated before it’s even published! And self-publishing has a huge learning curve. So we created a publishing company, Blue Bayou Press, to publish books by healthcare writers and well as to help them create online courses.
On our journey, we have met some amazing nurses and healthcare professionals that are also moving beyond their traditional roles. They inspire us every day, and we know that they will inspire you too. So we feature articles by and about these amazing individuals in our Nurse’s Corner. Take a look around and get ready to be inspired!
