I am a new graduate registered nurse. Is it necessary for me to apply for a malpractice insurance?

It's all right to join unions and associations of nurses in the state? Congratulations on passing your boards! Hooray for you! Yes, absolutely 100% necessary to obtain malpractice insurance! If something were to ever happen (God) and that the court was not only the patient who is suing (and their lawyers) are looking for an excuse to drown you, but the hospital refused to pull the big $ $ s " on their behalf, they are looking for in their evaluation measures that were not in accordance with hospital policy. For example, you have been caring for a patient with CHF who are on a fluid restriction. The guidelines say the hospital when released a site that intravenous use of 3 MLS, which used 10 ml each time it is empty, according to which was 10 times a day. Well, the patient died, and is on the roof, because the family said he died because I had too much fluid. It is not necessary to follow the guidelines in the hospital, simply rinse with 3 NM, making the hospital released him to the wolves and you're SOL. Ultimately, we worked really hard and you have yourself and your driver's license at all costs the hospital and not try to protect your practice, they seek themselves. For the price of carrying out your own insurance, it is worth. Especially if you're on the stand one day. Itself. Congratulations on your success. It is only necessary if you want to work in this area! It is especially important if you work in North America where there is a surplus of lawyers want .
