Can nurses set up a zoo company?
NO. Pursuant to Art. 5 of the Act on Medical Activity, nurses may practice their profession in the form of a civil partnership, general partnership or a partnership as a group nurse practitioner. Article 5 regulates the problem of practicing their profession by nurses as part of medical activity. The provision refers both to the regulations contained in the act on medical activity and in other acts, such as the act on the profession of nurse and midwife. A nurse and midwife may practice: 1) under an employment contract; 2) as part of a business relationship; 3) on the basis of a civil law contract; 4) as part of volunteering; 5) within the framework of professional internships specified in the Act on Medical Activity: a) sole proprietorship as an individual nurse practice, individual nurse practice only at the point of call, individual specialist nurse practice, individual specialist nurse practice only at the point of call, individual nurse practice only in an enterprise of a medical entity on the basis of a contract with this entity or an individual specialist practice of a nurse only in an enterprise of a medical entity on the basis of an agreement with this entity, b) a civil partnership, general partnership or partner company as a group nursing practice A nurse or midwife performing an individual practice or an individual specialist practice may employ persons who are not nurses or midwives to perform auxiliary (cooperation) activities. By the partnership agreement, the partners undertake to strive to achieve a common economic goal by acting in a designated manner, the partners are jointly and severally liable for its obligations, and each partner is en titled and obliged to run the partnership's affairs. The Civil Code does not grant a civil partnership legal capacity. Legal basis: Act on medical activity (Journal of Laws of 2013, item 217)
