    Q. replied to kjmta57's topic in General Nursing

  10. Should nurses care for their own family in LTC setting?

    Q. replied to duckie's topic in General Nursing

  21. Malpractice Insurance

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Kday - do you trust your employer to fully cover you and not really "drop" you? What would happen if you were indeed sued personally? It's that thought that kind of frightens me. I was once told that...

  22. Is paying back loads of money worth it for a BSN?

    Q. replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing

  25. Is paying back loads of money worth it for a BSN?

    Q. replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing
