What liability coverage do you carry?

Published

Alright, so since joining I have already gotten a TON of great advice from all of you:bow:, and now I need a little more.

I am looking at getting , but am unsure of what to get and with what company? I was thinking NSO, but wasn't sure if there is a better company out there or if there is one specifically for critical care that I should be looking out for. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! :bowingpur

I attended a legal documentation seminar not too long ago and the instuctor could/would not come right out and say that we should all have our own but they were able to make it clear that it is a very good idea.

It was re-inforced though that if you chose to carry malpractice insurance no one needs to know about it except an attorney if you have to go to court.

I always thought that I was good at charting to protect my license but I learned so much about what lawyers look for in nursing documentation that it changed the way I document. I feel much more confident and secure in not only the job that I do but in how I document it.
