Liability Insurance for nurses?

Published

While I was in school the teachers always said that once we graduate and began to work to make sure we get . I have talked to a few other nurses and I have been told different things one nurse said " I dont have ins. because usually the nurses that have liability ins. are the ones that get sued." and another that said that you really dont need it. Well I was just wondering how many nurses really have insurance what is your opinion on Liability insurance? I am about to start my 1st LVN job and I am wondering if I should get ins or not?

Don't leave home without it.

Yeah, the facility has coverage for you. And if it becomes to their benefit to hang your butt out to dry they will in a heartbeat - and where's your coverage then?

yes, i got it as a Paramedic and kept it as an RN. about $125 a year. any employer that covers you is really covering himself and the ins. company's loyalty is to the employer. if they can settle and you look bad in the process, too bad. So i got my own.
