Abstract
To learn about the experiences of nurse entrepreneurs in building their careers and business trajectories. A descriptive and exploratory, qualitative study carried out with nurse entrepreneurs, recruited using the snowball technique. Interviews were conducted via Skype and audio-recorded between June and July 2021, which were transcribed and subjected to content analysis. 15 nurses participated. Three thematic axes were identified: "Entrepreneurship in nursing with the use of technologies", which presented niches of activity and the use of technologies; "Desire to innovate even with fear of the new", which reports feelings and motivations related to entrepreneurship, especially innovation; and "What nurses need to know before starting a business", which presents the risks and benefits of entrepreneurship, as well as the skills needed by entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurial experience presents challenges for nurses. Thus, encouraging knowledge about entrepreneurship makes it possible to strengthen autonomy and gain new opportunities in nursing.
