Contract vs. Employee

Help! I'm a registered nurse and I work at the hospital PRN (which is 48 hours/month). I get a w-2 for my employment there. I took a second job at a small plastic surgeons office working a few hours a month, depending on how busy he is, but they put me down as a contract employee. I did not have taxes withdrawn, but set money aside and was prepared to pay. But after receiving my 1099-NEC form and doing some of my own research, I believe I should be receiving a w-2 for this employment instead. The reason I question this is because when doing my taxes I'm having to claim a buisness and pay a self-employee fee, which I am neither... any help is appreciated!
