Wll it be hard to terminate a full time health care nurse who takes of my mother off the books at my mothers house?

She is not a tenant, but if you ask her to leave, nothing can prevent her from filing a wrongful eviction suit.
She can claim that part of her compensation for taking care of mother was free room and board. It is uncertain how the court would respond to this suit, but I would recommend giving her a contract for a set period of time. That way if you wait till the end of the contract to ask her to go, it is a lot easier than just letting her go. Hiring someone off the books to avoid payroll takes is a violation of federal and state law.

On my profile there are several legal guides. I recommend reviewing the following which may be helpful to you:
