Hello! It's been a long, long time since I've been here. Life got in the way, and I'm currently an unemployed RN who is a SAHM.
My daughter goes to daycare part time. The center asked if I would be interested in performing physicals for the employees once a year. The employee would pay me directly. I've seen the worksheet they use, and it's barely even a physical, just seeing if they can perform job duties. I can handle that, and I can handle performing physicals.
But how does this work? Can I just work independently like that? I would not be employed by the center directly. It would be nice to earn some extra cash on such a flexible schedule.
If I sound clueless, it's because I am, so please don't flame me. My friend google has been no help.
Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.
Are you an APN? You might want to check with your professional liability malpractice carrier. Declaring someone fit for duty is likely out of the scope of practice for a RN. More likely within the scope of a midlevel (NP, PA) or physician.
