These are the words of a nurses biggest nightmare. The last thing we want to do is to be sued in a medical malpractice case. But the good news is that it is unlikely that you will be sued because attorneys typically name the hospital. The hospitals have insurance, and they don’t know whether the nurse does. So, typically the hospital is named because the facility is responsible for the actions of their employees when they are acting within the scope of their employment.
