Self-employed/Independent Nurse

[brown eyed girl]

Hello All,

Please tell me that there are independent/self-employed nurses in the Atlanta-metro area! OMG! If you are out there, please reply! I need direction and heck of a lot of direction/guidance to get my independent nurse business off the ground. I am a LPN with plenty of long term adult/geriatric experience. I would like to incorporate peds as well but have been unable to acquire a pt job taking care of babies/kids with psa or anyone else due to my "lack of experience.":mad:

Can you help me?

This is an old post. Are there any self employed nurses on the forum? What are nurses doing for health insurance/coverage with pre existing conditions? I'm currently looking into discount health plans.The marketplace/exchange is soo expensive now.

Hi

I am also looking to relocate to ATL area from PA where I am familiar with working solely as an independant contracting nurse/1099 income. I was also wondering of this type of nursing is as common down south as it is up here. I contract with 2-3 agencies that staff LTC and private duty nursing.

To answer the benefits question, I have my own retirement plan through a self funded IRA that I pay into at a maximum allowed amount ($5,500/per annum), for health insurance the market place has been my saving grace. With thic type of working you basically handle your taxes and savings.
