Lawsuits happen everywhere medicine is practiced and thousands of nurses are sued every year. The threat of litigation is real. Stop wondering and stop worrying and discover important and practical lessons from hundreds of nursing and medical malpractice cases. Mistakes happen – they are invaluable opportunities that nurses can learn from – to improve their care, and protect their patients and themselves.

“Legal Issues in Nursing” was developed on the belief that legal knowledge can improve healthcare outcomes and promotes an understanding of nursing responsibility as a way to improve patient safety. 100% of the nurses who took this course said that the knowledge they gained made them more aware of their legal responsibilities, improved their nursing documentation and made them a better nurse. The lessons you learn will be motivating, reflective and powerful.

This course can be applied for 6.5 hours towards the annual continued learning (Quality Assurance, Reflective Learning, Professional Development, Competence Assessment, Practice Review) required by your nursing registration body! Actual course run time is 100 minutes. Please contact your association or employer for potential funding for this very relevant course.
