Why do you think the hospitail makes you sign waviers. Just cross out the number and intial next to it that means you ((((don't agree))) in the event they hurt you. Most RN would not catch this .and it protects you this way.
They won't have to pay Mal pratice if they hurt you if they hurt you and you didn't write a clause in there. that's why the wavier is there to protect the Doc
most RN would not catch this .
