I am planning on doing my own travel contracts and cutting out the middle man (my agency). I need advice on rates and types of contracts. I know there are alot of nurses who are doing this with success. I just need advice to get started.

Presently, I am working as a travel nurse. Recently, I have begun to do research in order to become an indep. contractor. I have several questions it would be great if I could get some help. Is it better to form a corporation or act as a sole proprietor? How do you determine the fees that are charged? How do you obtain a copy of a sample contract? As an agency nurse I feel I am out of the loop regarding contracts. I know what my contract b/w me and my agency consists of, I would love to know what the standard contract is b/w my agency and the hospitals I contract with. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
