Malpractice insurance?
does the state of tennessee require licensed practical nurses to have liability malpractrice insurance?
Answers:
Medical malpractice insurance isn't REQUIRED by LAW, anywhere, that I know of.
It's a really good belief, though, and most of the time, it's required by contract - ie, the hospital won't let any non-employees work within, without proof that they own medical malpractice - and they provide it for their employees.
Contact the Tennessee Department of Health, or someone who is an LPN contained by Tennessee.
It shouldn't event if it's required or not. it's good practice newly to have it, of late in crust. better safe than sorry :)
