malpractice insurance

[Heather R.N.]

Now that I have been accepted to CRNA school, I am starting to wonder what life will be like after graduation? I have been so absorbed with getting accepted and completely my core courses that I really have not given it much thought.

So I guess that I am seeking some advice from those who are currently practicing?

One of my biggest concerns is how malpractice insurance works for CRNA's. I have also been wondering about what it is like in the OR in regards to relationships with the surgeons and other staff?

So any advice, suggestions and encouragement would be appreciated.

Thanks.......

Heather,

Welcome to the board! I would advise you to read through the archives of this forum as well as the Operating Room Nurses and Peri-op nurses forums to get a better idea of what the OR environment is like. Have you ever shadowed a nurse anesthetist?

I have shadowed a few times, but that still only gives me a limited perspecitive. I will check out the archives, thanks for the suggestion. However, what I am really interested in is finding out about malpractice insurance and how it works for CRNA's.
