Ms. M

Thanks for the info but please don't assume I don't know everything that you just mentioned besides that there is a difference between Agency and Registry. The guidelines and regulations are not the same for these two entities. I've been in business before and have several works in progress at this time. I would never jump off into anything without first doing extensive home work. The questions I asked will provide me with information regarding requirements nationwide as well as the requirements for my region. Thanks a million for your input.:) Ms. M

This was really funny to me:rotfl: (laugh,laugh, laugh,holler) but as nurses I think it is sometimes really easy for us to forget that people who do not do what we do or see what we see on daily will not understand that looking at genitals is almost like looking at an elbow for us. I'm sure insult was added to this ladies injury by Abbey's comparing her her sexless husband to that of a CPR dummy........none the less this was a hoot. Ms. M.

Thank you Suzanne, So the items required include: 1. Bonding 2. liability insurance 3. Work Comp 4. Business papers? (articles of incorporation) What eles should be included here? 5. Info regarding the nurses (license,CPR,ACLS,any other certification,skills check-off, back ground clearance, I don't think the nurses resume is required) 6. Contract with terms Anything else? What type of attorney would be familiar with what should go into a contract for a registry? I found many business lawyers are not familiar with healthcare contracts. Thanks for your assistance. Ms. M

Thank you for your response, But I meant what do hospitals require from the nursing registry? For example XYZ Agency would like their nurse to work such-and-such hospital.what documents does the hospital require from the registry not from the individual nurse as if the nurse is applying for a per diem position. I'm sure they require all that you have mentioned but in addition to all that I'm sure a hospital needs other documents. Does anyone know what they are? Ms. M.

Hi Everyone, What I read was not that MSN would be phased out but that the new advanced practice standard would be the doctorate in nursing. I don't think thats a very good ideas. Ms. M.

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum but not new to nursing. I have been a registered nurse for 20 years and now would like to truly venture out my own. Does anyone know what documents hospitals require for nursing registries. I live in southern california and I know that registries but be bonded and a copy of this document must be presented. Does anyone else know what other documents/forms hospitals require in order for registries to send their staff? I can't seem to locate this information anywhere? Thanks a million for your assistance. Ms. M.
