Nurse Insurance

Is it right to join unions and the state nurses association? Congratulations on passing your boards! Hooray for you! Yes, it is imperative to obtain insurance at 100%! If something happens that they never (God forbid) and you went to court not only that patients sue you (and their lawyer) looking for an excuse to run, but the hospital will not take away not the big $ $ 's in your name that makes them suitable to act in your charts, do not seek hospital policy. For example, you have a patient with CHF, which is on water restriction for treatment. Hospital says if you have a website, you flush IV 3 ml, 10 ml consumed every time you flushed, they say, was 10 times that day. Well, you're patient and died in court because the family said he died because he had too much liquid. They did not follow the policy, the only hospital flushing with 3 ml of the hospital to throw you to the wolves and you are SOL. The bottom line is that you worked very hard and should protect yourself and your license at any cost without looking at his hospital practice, they see themselves. For the cost of carrying their own insurance, it is worth. Especially if you are standing on the first day. Itself. Congratulations on passing. Only required if you want to work in this field! It is especially important if you want to work in North America, where there is an oversupply of lawyers .
