§ 2781 Nursing Corporation Stock Regulations

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can make rules to ensure nursing corporations follow the law.
  • •If someone who owns part of the nursing corporation is no longer allowed to own it (like if they break the rules or die), their part must be sold back to the corporation or other owners.
  • •Nursing corporations must have insurance or some other way to pay if a patient sues them for mistakes in care.

Example

A nurse who owns part of a nursing home gets in big trouble for hurting a patient and loses their nursing license.

The nursing home must buy back the nurse's part of the business because they can't own it anymore. Also, if the patient sues, the nursing home must have insurance to pay for any mistakes.
