- Should I Carry Nursing Malpractice (Liability) Insurance?

I refuse to be a punching bag - NO MORE ASSAULT
I agree. I cannot believe that you all get in trouble for make trouble for the hospital that you work for if you press charges. Assualt is assualt, how can they say a nurse is any different from a fireman, police officer, or a Doctor getting assulted? To me It is worse because you deal with the family more.

Thank you for your little hints I know that I will use them when I start doing my clinicals.

Scared to be a nurse
I am so glad that you wrote this comment. I feel the same way and I am not even in the nursing program yet. I am afraid that I will not meet expectations, that I will ask to many questions, or ask the same question over and over again. Making huge mistakes, or just simply failing. I want to do a good job as a nurse also, so I completely understand how your feeling. Whenever someone does write a comment like this I am so thankful. :) It is very comforting to know that there are others out there that feel the same way I do. I know that you will do a good job because you have a conscience about taking care of people and making sure that no one gets hurt. I hope that you keep us up todate. Tell us about your day and I know that there will be plenty of us to be there to support you. Sincerely soon to be a nursing student

Well... I will tell you that I am not a nurse yet, however I know that I will have to clean up bodily fluids when I do become one. When I worked at Sacred Heart ER I saw nurses that had to clean up bodily fluid all the time. Yes we did have the Emergency Room Department Aid which did clean up too, but they were meant more for the deep cleaning of the Trauma rooms, rooms that had patients with scabies, AIDs, chicken pox, etc... So if anyone nursing student believes that they will not have to clean up, well, sorry to say that yes you will. (and that is with hospital nurses i am not sure about clinics though).
