Happy New Year! I am running behind as usual in blog posts in 2017. I am committed to posting at least 1-3x a week in 2017 because this is RN Renewal in Ohio and Indiana and RN and LPN Renewal in Kentucky and this is going to be a very busy year for me.
Please Baby Please, purchase your own individual professional liability insurance policy if you are a LPN, RN, or APRN and practice nursing regardless of your capacity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kBE5kSV5y0
