In this article, the author presents an ethnographic study that investigated the relationships that evolve when professional nurses who own a home health care agency write for multiple, conflicting corporate discourse communities, including their lawyers, management consultants, and marketing professionals. This study revealed that conflicting values and agendas led the professional nurses to disagree with their corporate consultants. Based on this finding, the author argues that these business owners may be less likely to learn from their "corporate" consultants because of conflicting agendas and values.
