Yes You Can Work as an Independent Nurse Contractor

Hello,
I am currently practicing as an Independent Nurse Contractor and have been for the last 3 years. My husband and I are both RN' s and do most of our contracts with Hospitals. We have several employees working for us.
Our Company; Mericle RN Staffing LLC is listed and also we are members of the National Nurses Business Association. We have not had any problems securing contracts as Independent Nurse Contractors as most facilities are short staffed and welcome the help of an experienced Nurse. We have the experience and knowledge to back up our manual. We offer unlimited email support and phone support once you buy my Start up guide. Our packet has everything needed to set up a nurse agency business and work as an Independent Nurse Contractor we also provide information on adding employees.
Any one can work as an Independent Nurse as( As long as they do not go beyond the scope of their practice)You do not have to be an RN with a business degree. I have sold my packets to Lpn=s , Respiratory Therapist=s as well as RN=s. It appears that a few of my competitors are not actually in the business yet claim to be experts and the product they are marketing is a poor representation of what is actually involve.
The forms/contracts/documents are the same ones that I used to get my business up and running and these are the ones that I use each time I approach a facility to secure a contract. I have worked in several states Ohio, Denver& Texas. On top of my hourly rate, if I fly out of state I also charge for hosing airfare and car rental.
These are the actual forms inside and out that I use in my Business.
Nurse Contractors practice in all aspects of the Healthcare Industry; Home Health, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Rehab Centers and Doctors Offices, just to name a few. It contains information on all business aspects, and issues related to finance, taxes, advertising and marketing. I have included full length contracts, term sheets and all forms and documents, etc..for setting up a home business pertaining to all aspects of the medical field. I use these documents,contracts etcYeach time I secure a contract. These forms protect the interest of all parties involved.
I am not sure if you know this but each time you present your portfolio as an Independent Contractor it is reviewed by the facilities Lawyer or legal council. I have never had any problems getting past this process. My contracts and documents were drawn up with the help of my own Lawyer.
As far as State Specific The main difference is the per diem rate you will be able to charge. I have also included a website that is specific to each state guidelines. As Nurses we all practice under the Nurse Practice Act. An Independent Contractor contracts with a healthcare facility to provide Nursing Services, , usually by the hour. An Independent contractor can contract his or her services directly with a healthcare facility or with a patient and continue bedside practice. The contract is similar to those used by nursing agencies and travel companies outlining the services to be provided, the responsibilities of both the healthcare facility and the nurse, and the length of time the services are to be provided.
Any one can start a business. No advance degrees are necessary unless your business includes diagnosing and treating medical problems. State nurse practice acts do no prohibit a nurse from starting up their own business as an Independent Nurse Contractor. Independent nurse contractor is one who contracts with a healthcare facility for nursing services. A contractual agreement is drawn up between you and the institution. You will be able to negotiate your compensation, hours worked and length of time your services will be needed. Visit http://www.independentrncontractor.com
