I want to start a nursing service business and am having difficulty attaining legal help to advise me on the medical-legal aspects regarding scope of practice. I have tried emailing several nurse attorneys in my state of California without success. I have contacted the nursing board by phone and also wrote a letter to obtain written authorization of some type before launching forward. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to getting help in the legal world regarding interpretting the business and professional codes of the law?
Your state nurse practice act is the last word on what is in a nurse's scope if you have a copy of it.
What exactly did you have in mind to do? What services are you looking to offer?
