Frequently asked questions
- Why is liability protection a requirement?
- Professional liability protection is required in order to:
- Ensure that individuals who have been harmed due to professional negligence are properly compensated.
- Provide adequate protection to every nursing professional from the costs of defending an allegation made against them and any resulting damages awarded.
- Am I protected if I forget to renew my registration?
- No. Only practising registrants have liability protection. If you practise without protection, you are opening yourself up to personal financial risk if there is a lawsuit stemming from your nursing practice during that period.
- Do I need commercial general liability insurance as well?
- All LPNs are covered by commercial general liability insurance provided by Encon Group Inc. If you have questions about this policy, please contact Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of BC.
