Of course medical malpractice claims against nurses tend to fall into different categories and involve slightly different circumstances than malpractice claims against doctors. This page will provide a statistical overview of the most common types of medical malpractice claims brought against nurses. Over 75% of all nursing malpractice occurs in the hospital setting so we will focus on malpractice claims involving nursing care in the various departments within the modern hospital.<\/p>\n

Where Does Nursing Negligence Occur?<\/h4>\n

Negligent nursing care occurs in all hospital departments. However, a review of medical malpractice cases against nurses indicates that nurses in certain departments clearly tend to get sued for malpractice more than others.

It only means that nursing mistakes in certain departs are more prone to result in litigation. This often has more to do with the potential value of malpractice cases in certain contexts and not the quality of nursing care. For instance, nurses in the psychiatric department probably make just as many mistakes as nurses in the surgery department but the psychiatric errors are less likely to cause major injury or death and result in less malpractice cases. 100 incidents of psychiatric nursing negligence may only generate 5 malpractice cases whereas 100 incidents of surgical nursing negligence might generate 30 malpractice claims.<\/p>\n
