The habitual practice of the nursing profession, in any form whatsoever, within a State administration, a local authority or a public establishment is subject to a written contract, except in cases where the professional is a permanent employee of the State, a local authority or a public establishment and in cases where it is governed by legislative or regulatory provisions which do not provide for the conclusion of a contract.
The nurse must notify this contract to the Conseil Départemental de l’Ordre. This council may, if it considers it useful, forward contracts or amendments to the national council for its opinion. Any comments made by this body are sent to the administrative authority concerned and to the professional concerned.
