Are private duty nurses, independent contractors, or self-employed?
I suppose a nurse “independent contractor” could be doing a wide variety of things and not just private duty. I do private duty but through an agency. So, I am not self-employed nor am I an independent contractor. I prefer to do private duty through an agency. I like how the agency is the liaison and deals with all the logistics, paperwork, taxes, insurance, etc. I wouldn’t want the hassle of being on my own.
