Hospitals are concerned about liability issues. Although you are a private nurse contractor, they need proof of education, skills, etc. Although they are obviously there, paper documentation is what is necessary. Let me know if I could be of assistance by emailing me at jcaracci@nursingcorp.com or visiting my website at http://www.nursingcorp.com
: Hi David: I am an RN in Arizona working on an
: Independent Contract at the facility that I
: have been employed at for the past 5 years
: (currently prn status). I have presented a
: contract packet to the ADON and in the first
: meeting we agreed that we would meet again in
: a month so he had time to review the packet
: and I had time to provide him more evidence
: "That it is legal? and why should they
: accept it? We meet next Monday. I have
: spoken to the Board of Nursing and Pat Bemis
: NNBA and the only conclusion that I can reach
: is that as long as you are working under the
: supervision of a physician and paying all of
: your own taxes within the guidelines - you
: are just like any other registry out there -
: only you are a one person registry. Is there
: anything you can provide me with preferably
: documented, that I can present to my ADON to
: ensure him that it is basically the same as
: out sourcing for RNs and I guess what would
: really be helpfull is "From a facility
: standpoint and liability" and "What
: the greatest benefit to them is" (I
: have provided him my malpractice policy as
: well as certifications, competencies, etc.
: Any information you can share would be very
: helpful, Pat mentioned your name and company
: so I look forward to conversing with you and
: maybe even meeting you at the National
: Meeting later this year. Again, thanks for
: your time and have a great day! Karen K. RN
