I'm Dr. Shannon Simpson Shand, RN, MPA.
I've been a nurse for 30 years, mostly in home care and hospice, and a healthcare administrator for more than 20. I've helped agency owners turn their experience into businesses that care for them, too. This checklist is where I'd start if I were launching today.
