The new year is almost here and now is the time to think about developing and implementing a risk management plan for your nursing practice. Do you have a risk management plan for your nursing practice? One of the first things you should consider is purchasing your OWN individual professional liability insurance policy with an insurance company which writes policies for nurses. Also purchase or download a copy of the your state Nurse Practice Act and Board of Nursing regulations and review the documents.
You know your nursing practice better than anyone. What other steps can you take to safeguard your nursing license? As a practicing home health R.N., I am planning to make improvements to my narrative nursing documentation and attend a wound care conference in 2006.
