   GoldenEagleRN replied to bayouchick02's topic in NICU

   I have one more question! If I purchase my insurance today, and in a year or two I receive notice that I have been named in a lawsuit for an incident that happened in the past six months - before I purchased my insurance, am I still covered?

   GoldenEagleRN replied to bayouchick02's topic in NICU

   I too have heard this exact same argument. In fact, at my hospital's site orientation, our risk manager was asked about insurance and she said that they recommend you not getting your own insurance, because the hospital covers you, and it will just b...
