   Verbal425 replied to Verbal425's topic in General Nursing

   I know, since then I've been feeling as if criminals have more rights than nurses. As far as appeal, I believe the statute of limitations is a factor. I agree, should seek a lawyer for advice. Thanks everybody. It's nice to be able to share and ...
