Nursing Malpractice: How Can A CRNA/SRNA Shield Themselves From Legal Liability? Part 1

Nursing malpractice is a serious issue that can have life-altering consequences for healthcare professionals, especially CRNAs and SRNAs who work in high-stakes environments.

Whether it’s a documentation error, medication mishap, or a failure to adhere to institutional protocols, legal scrutiny can be overwhelming. In today’s podcast, we’re diving deep into proactive measures that can shield you from legal liability.

Special guest Maggie Ortiz, MSN, RN and Founder of Advocates for Nurses, brings her wealth of experience as a legal nurse consultant to discuss real-life cases, common legal pitfalls in anesthesia practice, and how CRNAs can protect themselves before an issue arises.

From the importance of meticulous documentation to understanding state-specific regulations, this conversation is a must-listen for any nurse looking to safeguard their career.

Advocates for Nurses was born out of a pressing need to educate and empower nurses to navigate the legal complexities of their profession. Maggie’s firsthand experience as an investigator for a Board of Nursing has given her unique insights into the risks that nurses unknowingly take every day.

Whether it’s understanding the legal implications of medication administration, mitigating the risks of drug diversion accusations, or recognizing how seemingly minor charting errors can escalate into malpractice claims, this episode will equip you with the knowledge you need to practice smarter.

Tune in to this crucial two-part series to learn how to advocate for yourself, avoid legal pitfalls, and ensure that you’re practicing with confidence and protection in today’s litigious healthcare environment.
