   MissCheevusRN replied to MissCheevusRN's topic in Entrepreneurs

   Not yet, brand new all they've been doing is home care ADLs and IADLS so far. That's why she wants this done..accredidation and state funding. She's also doing paperwork for non- profit. She's a really sweet lady, that's why I said I would help. Than...

7. Agency Nursing is the Way to Go

   MissCheevusRN replied to nurseliz's topic in General Nursing

   I worked agencies too, but there is some draw back. Do you get health insurance? Also I would make sure you carry your own insurance for malpractice. I haven't had the experience, but I wonder how well the Agency will back you when it gets HOT.
