Colton sits down with Maggie from Advocates for Nurses to unpack the legal side of nursing that no one talks about — from board investigations and depositions to the documentation mistakes that can cost you your license. With 25 years of experience, Maggie shares hard truths about liability insurance, charting pitfalls, and why education is a nurse’s best defense. This conversation is eye-opening, empowering, and a must-listen for any nurse who wants to protect their practice.
