Krishna Floisand Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Have liability/malpractice insurance? What questions do you have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nueva Koehler Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Every self-employed nurse should have liability/malpractice insurance which also includes license protection. The facilities' liability insurance extends to their staff only. Something to keep in mind, even if we as nurses did not make the error, we can still get sued. Unfortunately, we live in a highly litigious society and the reality is that; we will get sued whether or not we were the ones who made the mistake. Liability insurance for a self-employed nurse can run anywhere from $300-$700 for the year. Its worth every penny for peace of mind. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nueva Koehler Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 @Krishna Floisandbased on my experience, it's very easy to get. I personally use NSO but there are many others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
