  2. Utah Nurse Wubbels Reaches $500,000 Settlement

    Medic/Nurse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    The currency of civil litigation is money. Bear in mind, she had secured counsel and I'd bet that settlement is shared on a 25-30% basis with this counsel (as her attorney likely negotiated it)....

    Medic/Nurse replied to TX_L&DRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Medic/Nurse replied to Lame's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Medic/Nurse replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

  7. Quitting nursing school?

    Medic/Nurse replied to MSTLUV's topic in General Students

  13. Hydration Stations in the Nursing Station

    Medic/Nurse replied to 1Crazynurse's topic in General Nursing

  15. Nightshift -days off

    Medic/Nurse replied to LittleRedOwl's topic in General Nursing

  16. Nightshift -days off

    Medic/Nurse replied to LittleRedOwl's topic in General Nursing

  17. "may we contact your previous employer" what is the correct answer?

    Medic/Nurse replied to EternalFeather's topic in Nursing Career

  18. Feel like a horrible nurse!

    Medic/Nurse replied to Verygreennurse's topic in General Nursing

  22. Smoking

    Medic/Nurse replied to keebler1995's topic in General Students

  23. Offered The Wrong Position

    Medic/Nurse replied to taynichole's topic in Nursing Career
