I agree with this; but would also send copies to the nursing board, State association, representatives and the Governor. While I would not expect them to do anything, they would get first hand information as to why so many nurses leave the professio...
I guess my thoughts are a little different. Before you "run", consult an attorney. I think these situation are great for suits on grounds of misrepresentation and breach of contract; especially if other in the same facility have the same experience...

I don't specifically know Arkansas State law so my suggestion is to talk to a local attorney. 30 minutes with an attorney could say you a lot down the road and get you off on the right foot.

This case was more than a decade ago. Things have changed since then. Many procedures have changed. My point was not to reexamine or try to explain the entire case. Just to show that, while they may not be common, I know someone who sat on a jury...
Something to think about. My hubby has sat on a jury during a malpractice case. He said everyone was going after the Dr. and four nurses. Not one of the nurses had malpractice insurance. The jury listened to the evidence and eventually found in fav...
