  9. Nurses sued!!!!!

    lpn2icu replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    Being sued is very real! Why do you think we have so many lawyers? The bottom line, I think, is the facility that you are working for! When they find out you are accountable/liable, the lawyers...

  19. protecting yourself against complaints

    lpn2icu replied to am4182's topic in Men in Nursing

    lpn2icu replied to addison31's topic in General Nursing

    lpn2icu replied to shalamar's topic in California Nursing
