Abstract
Consultation based on an entrepreneurial model is becoming an increasingly popular career choice for nurses. Marx's theoretical formulations were selected as a framework for examining various aspects of the entrepreneurial model of consultation in nursing. Areas addressed include the growing alienation of nurses from their work in institutional settings, entrepreneurial practice as an escape from alienation, and the inherently conservative nature of entrepreneurial consultant practice.Keywords
