FACTS ABOUT NURSING MALPRACTICE
 INCREASED USE OF NURSING HOMES REVEALS MORE MALPRACTICE
Nursing malpractice exists, and there are reportedly an increasing number of nursing malpractice claims being made. Nurses' own roles in the legal system continue to expand, for instance in the area of forensic nursing, and this would presumably increase nurses' visibility with attorneys.
Recent U.S. court decisions have begun to define more clearly the rules relating to such claims, including the ability of non-nurses to provide competent testimony as to nursing standards of care. And it would appear that, because of cases like that of confessed serial killer Charles Cullen, even some in the mainstream press have reason to understand that nurses are in a position to cause harm in clinical settings, though there may be only a fuzzy understanding that a nurse could cause harm by mistake, in simply trying to do her job.
