Hello friends- Your help would be appreciated: I currently work as a neonatal RN on a per diem basis in the nursery-am the former manager of that unit for 15 years and left of my own choice with no "bad history". I am working on a contract with the hospital for lactation consulting of their patients. After revising my proposed contract x 3, now they have decided that I can only work as an LC in the hospital where I work as a per diem RN if I work as a per diem LC, with the attending restrictions because "personnel feels it is the only safe way to do this". Suddenly they feel that I am going to take advantage ? The contract already had a cost ceiling/yr. on it, and I would provide my own malpractice insurance, as I have it for my already existing private practice. I do not like this arrangement, as it gives them more control than I want to give as an independent contractor. Are there any of you out there with this situation, or knowledge of it? I may have to consult an attorney before doing this- your input please! Thanks in advance! Denise Mollenkopf, RNC, IBCLC Florida
