This last week I met with our attorney for the purpose of getting one question answered. How much liability protection does incorporating provide to a PC? A PC is a professional service company such as an accountant, lawyer or chiropractor. One or...

See the thread entitle is "incorporation - liability - confusion" The link is https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78807

I agree with this; but would also send copies to the nursing board, State association, representatives and the Governor. While I would not expect them to do anything, they would get first hand information as to why so many nurses leave the professio...

I guess my thoughts are a little different. Before you "run", consult an attorney. I think these situation are great for suits on grounds of misrepresentation and breach of contract; especially if other in the same facility have the same experience...

I work independent. There are many on this board that have good ideas in this area. One of the best things you can do is take the time to go through all the posts here in the Entrepreneurs section.

A lawyers would have no idea if a nurse has insurance or not until AFTER a suit has been filed. Only then does the discovery process begin and only then can someone be forced to disclosed such information. I have never seen any evidence that having...

I don't specifically know Arkansas State law so my suggestion is to talk to a local attorney. 30 minutes with an attorney could say you a lot down the road and get you off on the right foot.

It depends on what kind of service your are going to provide. If you are going to cook their meals, do their laundry, make their beds, or mow their lawns, then no you do not have to be a licensed nurse. By the way, one of the businesses being star...

My company insurance is with NSO. The company policy covers me and any nurses I have to hire throughout the year. This year my cost is approximately $300. Each year it is evaluated to see have many employees I have had. That is the main basis as ...

First, all of our contracts are for one year. To heck with doing a contract every time one is called. If I did that, I'd be doing 3-4 contracts a week. Once a year is just fine. Several months ago we placed one of our contracts online to help other...

This case was more than a decade ago. Things have changed since then. Many procedures have changed. My point was not to reexamine or try to explain the entire case. Just to show that, while they may not be common, I know someone who sat on a jury...

Something to think about. My hubby has sat on a jury during a malpractice case. He said everyone was going after the Dr. and four nurses. Not one of the nurses had malpractice insurance. The jury listened to the evidence and eventually found in fav...

Thanks lovinghands on the kudos of the web site. You are right that some information is listed, but as long as I don't release private identifying information publicly, I am told that I am safe. My hope is that the BON acts quicker than most governme...

A nurse in New Mexico sent us a business plan that she had done for a college project. She shared it with us for the purpose of putting it on the web site so that others could see how a business plan was done. Along with the plan she had sent us th...

I agree with nightngale in that for a nurse to become self employed, it does not take a huge amount of $$. It does take fore thought and a willingness to take that step. I think the problem with most nurses we have talked to is that they are, like t...

lovinghands - I have not provided any identifying information; thus there is no basis for a case. My point was to show that there is a need and real basis for seeking and getting meaningful references. Dave - Looks like we are in agreement. Running...

Dave, thanks for your input. For the record, I am the owner. I am the HR dept. I am also the accounting dept - and the only full time employee. DH is the business manager and runs day to day operations. So as to being authorized, I concur with your ...

I know of no such law. However it is generally the policy of most employers no to make such comments as to avoid litigation. I understand that some union contract agreement address this issue limiting what can be divulged. Personally, I divulge an...

No I don't Steph. Sorry. I caught it by accident. Generally they run such programs several times throughout the week. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I would check your local channel guide.

I was watching a program on the Science channel called Curious World about the causes and effects of stress. It was extremely interesting and highly recommended.

Dear CeCiRn, When it comes to nurses not standing up for themselves, yell all you want. I DO. Many of the problems that nurse face today is because many of them have not been will to do just what you have stated. I wish they would. The extent I'v...

After reading through this thread, I felt that some of the statements were not completely accurate. Thus, I copied these post and pasted them into a word document and took them to my CPA. I told her I got them from a nurse forum thread that was dis...

I wonder what would happen if the nurses and patients joined in a class action lawsuit citing patient endangerment as a cause of action. The patients real argument is that they are not paying for their life to be endangered by the facility. It could...

Nor could I access the article. There is one facility in Wyoming that has gone to a bidding process for all open shifts. It was explained to us that anyone can bid on these assignments; agencies, employees of the facility. The idea to them is that...
