“The Hot Spots in Nursing Home Litigation presentation provided me with a wide range of information that I was not expecting. I have not reviewed nursing home cases as a nurse consultant. I am always looking for ways to broaden my horizons when I signed up for this course. However, now I would not be afraid to accept that case and start to work.”
