1. Professional Liability Insurance: Professional liability insurance, also known as malpractice insurance, is the cornerstone of nurse insurance coverage. It protects you against claims alleging negligence, errors, or omissions in the course of your professional duties. This coverage provides financial protection for legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments, ensuring that your personal assets are shielded from potential litigation. Whether you're a registered nurse, a nurse practitioner, or a licensed practical nurse, professional liability insurance is essential to safeguard your career.

2. Legal Expense Insurance: Legal expense insurance is an important coverage to consider alongside professional liability insurance. It provides coverage for legal expenses incurred during legal proceedings, including attorney fees, court costs, and expert witness fees. This coverage can alleviate the financial burden of defending against a professional liability claim and help ensure that you have access to quality legal representation.

Who Needs Nurse Malpractice Insurance?

Nurse malpractice insurance is necessary for all nurses practicing in Ontario, including:

1. Registered Nurses (RNs): Registered nurses are responsible for providing direct patient care, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals. Given the scope of their responsibilities, RNs should have robust malpractice insurance coverage to protect their careers and assets.

2. Nurse Practitioners (NPs): Nurse practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses who diagnose and treat illnesses, prescribe medications, and provide comprehensive healthcare services. With their expanded scope of practice, NPs face unique risks and should have adequate malpractice insurance to mitigate potential liabilities.

3. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs): Licensed practical nurses provide basic nursing care, including monitoring patients' health, administering medications, and assisting with daily activities. Although LPNs work under the supervision of registered nurses, they can still be exposed to liability risks and should have appropriate malpractice insurance coverage.
