malpractice insurance

[tsgarman]

Ok guys,

I have been hearing two sides to this issue. To have malpractice insurance or not. I know that the hospitals will not protect you if named in a lawsuit or that's what I hear. I have also heard that if you have malpractice insurance you are more llikely to be named in a lawsuit.

I would like to know what your take is on this issue. Should I or shouldn't I?

Thanks

Tami

I wouldn't be without it! Covers more than just liability r/t nursing practice.

There is a possibility that the hospital will support you through the entire legal process and then turn on you to recover their loss if they find that you have erred by not following policy to the letter by mistake. Better safe than sorry!
