§ 2778 Nursing Corporation Name Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •A nursing company must have 'nursing' or 'registered nursing' in its name.
  • •The name must also show it's a company (like 'Inc.' or 'LLC').
  • •This helps people know it's a real nursing business.

Example

A group of nurses starts a business to help sick people at home.

They can't just name it 'Best Care.' They have to call it something like 'Best Nursing Care LLC' so everyone knows it's a nursing company.
