   AshBuggin replied to daleen24's topic in General Nursing

    AshBuggin replied to Linnylulu's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If I were you I would invest in liability insurance to protect yourself from being sued civilly. It's like 35-50 bucks per year. Refusing to care for a patient without replacing yourself with another...

13. BSN vs RN...is it worth the tuition difference? I already hold a BA if that matters

    AshBuggin replied to Mkakids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
