Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Virginia
Should RN's carry malpractice insurance? My co-workers say they don't carry it because the hospital will cover you and that carrying insurance makes you an easy target to be sued.

If you're an employee of the hospital, its insurance should cover you sufficiently.
However, if you're an independent contractor, contracting for work with
different hospitals, then it may well be necessary, depending upon what your
agreement covers with these hospitals.
