What is an independent nurse contractor?

An Independent Nurse Contractor is a licensed nurse who works on a contract or freelance basis rather than as a direct employee of a healthcare facility. These nurses provide services to hospitals, clinics, home health agencies, or private clients, typically setting their own schedules and managing their own business operations. They are responsible for securing their own contracts, handling taxes, and obtaining necessary insurance. This role offers flexibility and autonomy, but also requires strong business and organizational skills.
