It's your care. As Eric said, you have the right to ask for everything and 
anything you want/need. Whether you can find someone who agrees to those terms 
at the pay being offered is another story. If you're paying $100/hr you could 
get people to do anything, but if you're offering minimum wage it's another 
story.
 
Most of your requests seemed reasonable except a few:
-not sure why they'd need I.D. at ALL times. Maybe the first time you meet them 
or so, but after that requiring them to carry I.D. seems heavy-handed. Most 
likely they'll have I.D. with them anyhow.
-not allowing them personal cell use seems a bit harsh, especially if they have 
children. You may be better saying "limited personal cell use" and give them a 
warning if they start to abuse the policy.
-always wearing scrubs? Is there a need for this? Just asking.
 
Remember, even though they're your employee they are still human beings. Set 
firm policies at first, but if you come across as overly controlling you may 
miss out on some good caregivers. Sometimes a bit of compromise goes a long 
way, as long as it's not taken advantage of.
 
I wish you success in your search.
Don.
