"As their professional roles expand, nurses are naturally becoming more vulnerable to malpractice lawsuits. State nursing boards are increasingly likely to suspend or discipline nurses who are found guilty in malpractice suits. Not all the news is bad, though. Thankfully, there are clear guidelines for protecting yourself from a malpractice suit."
Todd Stein, Nurseweek, May 15, 2000
