NRSKarenRN, I wish every nurse in those states would take this course and that every nurse who is working would have a copy of their Nurse Practice Act handy and READ it occasionally! Each state has its own Nurse Practice Act, and I think if we all read it occasionally, it would do away with mandatory overtime and all sorts of other things we do that puts our license on the line.

I would bet that over 90% of the nurses who are currently working have no clue what is in their Nurse Practice Act and don't realize how often they jeopardize their licenses each day.
