RiskManager, at the student nurses conventions in my state there was a nurse who spoke about her experience. She stated that once she was fired, the hospital's insurance no longer covered her when she and the hospital were sued by a patient's family. The hospital settled, but since she was no longer an employee, and she had to get and pay for her own attorney to fight for her license. Can you provide some insight on this?

Hi, all. I am a new nurse and got hired in the ICU. My preceptor is extremely smart but works too fast and doesn't explain the steps well enough for me to learn the how tos from her. I've been there a month and am afraid to touch anyone because I don't know what it is I am supposed to be doing. Please help a sistah out, and tell me what are the steps to completing a Head to Toe ICU assessment. Any other info you would like to pass on to a new nurse in the ICU would also be greatly appreciated.
