NURSING – Insuring Nursing Licenses.docx

Description

Medical errors tend to happen even to the best clinicians. However, the majority of the nurses do not possess professional liability insurance or malpractice insurance that may be a proactive measure to defend their licenses and protect their career advancement (Pohlman,2015). We reside in a very litigious society. People in the medical profession are particularly prone to legal action and lawsuits. In most incidences, injury or loss of a family member leads toa demand for retribution (Pohlman, 2015). Nurses are humans; therefore, they may make mistakes but can also make an error while in action that could be perceived as neglect. Malpractice indicates that the nurse has shifted from the healthcare standards of practice or care, which might or might not have led to death or injury. The majority of the employers provide practice insurance, but the coverage might not be sufficient to caution the nurse (Pohlman,2015).

The priority of the employers is to seek the interests of the company and to defend their assets and themselves. Moreover, the coverage may be capped, and the nurse may require additional charges to cover any action taken against them. Therefore, this paper supports the idea that nurses should cover their licenses. This paper discusses the significance of covering the nurse’s license by highlighting two major reasons. For those interested in pursuing a career in the medical field, obtaining your certification as a Nursing Assistance can be exactly what you are looking for. While the specifications for licensing vary by state, all programs have basic elements. First, you must be able to pass a background check. This is for the safety of all patients and other staff. Some states only look at felony convictions, while others look for reckless behaviors, including harassment, domestic violence, and driving under the influence of alcohol. Most programs also require a GED or High School diploma.

In the film, Inequality for All, Dr. Robert Reich bases the film on a lecture class he teaches at the University of California Berkeley. Reich uses documentary footage, infographics, and profiles of people who are not only struggling but also billionaires and policy leaders who are also concerned about the economy. The main point of the film is to address how America is a consumer-driven economy and how that relates to economic inequality for everyone, even the billionaires. Reich presents this topic that looks at all sides fairly. Reich presents three questions at the beginning of the lecture.

“What is happening in terms of the distribution of income and wealth? Why is ithappening and when does it become a problem?”For the first question, Reich states, “The rich actually do better with an economythat is growing faster, when everyone else is doing better. This is not a zero sum game.”The more people who are included in prosperity, the more prosperity increases. According to statistics, 70 percent of the United States economy depends on consumer spending, which they call the middle-class. And because middle-class incomes have either plateaued or dropped, the middle class does not have the purchasing power to keep the economy running strong.
