[quote=augigi] I had to go through a Coroners Court investigation, make police statements, testify etc. It was very traumatic, with almost no support from either my employer or my nursing association. I had to fight even to get adequate legal representation.
just yet another reminder to all new grads or any old time nurses who do not have any - get your own liability insurance - it will help you get the legal aide you need and cover you on the event of an error - as above most employers will hang you out to dry and try to cover thier own butts. i believe i have mine through theh NSO - i dont recall - do a search on nursing liability ins - the little it costs could save you greatly in the event of what if - we get car in and house ins etc at what if - please dont be like some of my friends and think its a waste of time and money - just knowing the what if is covered is relief in itself. here is one link to the NSO
http://www.nso.com/ ( i hope its ok to post a link ) - i am sure there is many other ins co out there - perhpas een through your own personal agent - good luck
Would you like to comment?
