  8. Recommended Nurse Malpractice Insurance Companies

    mandy13086 replied to Newyorker22's topic in Nursing Career

    mandy13086 replied to SILVACH24's topic in Florida Nursing

    Some did so yes, that helps and I didn't. I worked at the same office for 10 years. But, not all my classmates had any experience. Honestly, I didn't think it would be that difficult so there were...

    mandy13086 replied to wilslisa's topic in First Year After Licensure
