How can nurses best protect themselves legally and professionally in cases of board investigations or civil actions?
Navigating the challenges of board investigations and legal actions is a common concern for nurses, particularly in the ER. Despite our unwavering commitment to delivering quality care, we sometimes encounter scenarios where a patient's condition takes an unexpected turn, resulting in complications. Even when we adhere to protocols meticulously, we may still find ourselves under intense scrutiny, with the patient's family questioning the care we've provided.
In this episode, we're joined once more by Maggie Ortiz, a fellow registered nurse and seasoned legal consultant for nurses, to delve into the world of nursing regulations, ethics, and why having liability insurance is crucial for nurses like us.
We discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding nursing regulations. From the implications of modern cannabis use to the need for oversight in nursing boards we unravel the layers of the legal landscape that intersect with the nursing profession.
Furthermore, we'll highlight the significance of having legal support. When investigations arise, having someone in your corner who understands both nursing and the law can make all the difference.
Join us as we explore crucial topics concerning nursing regulations, legal protections, and the evolving landscape of the nursing profession.
