  1. Nurses malpractice insurance

    mscsrjhm replied to elk007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Attorneys are not going after the working joe. No money in it. If there was money in it- we would see it happening all the time. Doesn't happen- but insurance wants you to THINK it happens- this...

  3. Nurses malpractice insurance

    mscsrjhm replied to elk007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    mscsrjhm replied to Jacobero's topic in General Nursing

    i do not see laws regarding impersonating and fraud as a waste of time. these laws already exist, so i do see laws defining the term "nurse" as a waste of time. one cannot legally call themselves a...

    mscsrjhm replied to elk007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    mscsrjhm replied to Jacobero's topic in General Nursing

    Some people do not think it is unethical- and this is because of their CULTURE. In my CULTURE, the term is one of respect, and designates a person who cares for others in the health field, whether it...
