There is such a thing as a nursing corporation recognized in the law. There’s been a confusion over the years over why it even exists because we do have this rule for medical practices that they need to be owned in the 51-49 breakdown with the physician as the majority owner.

There are some specific situations where a nursing corporation can be used, and it mainly is in the context of licensed healthcare facilities, which are these kind of specialty facilities that exist, skilled nursing facilities, et cetera. Not really in the context of a medical spa. So is it true that an RN, you can own 100% of a nursing corporation? Yes, but we don’t recommend that you use a nursing corporation in the context of medical spas.

The 49% nurse in the medical spa context, again, the MSO being involved as the management company, there would be the most viable option for a nurse to have more involvement in the nonclinical operations of the medical spa.
