2. Do I need Malpractice insurance?

   PrimaFacie replied to worf's topic in General Nursing

   Why do they even know she has it? It's not on any public record that you have MI. Get it and don't tell anyone except your attorney, when/if you need to use

   PrimaFacie replied to AsianNurse27's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I'm never ok with lying, even if the job market is bad. But the OP said they were making financial cutbacks....so a truthful statement here is: They were making cutbacks and I was the least...

9. Need advice after losing first nursing job

   PrimaFacie replied to AsianNurse27's topic in First Year After Licensure

14. What kind of PSYCH disorder does this sound like?

    PrimaFacie replied to paddler's topic in General Nursing

    Strange....this is a nursing forum, and nurses aren't allowed to diagnose, so as a nurse, why do you need an unofficial/armchair Dx to "know where to start"? Seriously, you are treading in...

15. Your thoughts on being "written up".

    PrimaFacie replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Nursing

    What I always found much more scary, on nurses endangering themselves, was how so many disregarded or only halfway used precautions in rooms where pts had MRSA. Then they would inevitably say; "we...
