About NewnurseNYC

NewnurseNYC specializes in critical care/ PCU.

I worked for a few months as an RN, but lost my job and have now returned to my former field. I would like to return to nursing, but currently have a decent job that I know is stable. In this economy, that is worth alot.

    Thank you Dave; I agree, this is not the forum to seek legal advice. I'm just not sure WHERE to seek legal advice!;-) I dropped my malpractice insurance since I was not practicing as a nurse...perhaps I should have sprung for the $ to keep it! Or ma...
