[NPInfo] Re: Various NP state differences

Oops, I meant 48 states.

I remember hearing a speaker from NSO at an ACNP meeting several years ago.
He talked about how Florida and Texas had far and away the most malpractice
lawsuits; more than all the other 50 states combined. But he also spoke how
people are becoming more litigious all over the country (which I
believe-have you counted the number of class action medication lawsuit
commercials are on TV lately?) and also stated that as more APNs are
practicing and taking on greater roles in patient care, both inpatient as
well as outpatient, there will be more lawsuits against APNs. 

After reading that article, which states would you never want to work in?
