Description:

Correctional nursing, home health, aesthetics, nurse leaders… and now AI? NSO's newest nurse liability report highlights some surprising trends in where claims are happening (and why), and this episode breaks it all down in a way that's actually useful for real-world nurses.

In this episode, I (Kati Kleber, MSN RN) sit down with Jennifer Flynn from NSO to discuss their latest nurse liability data: what's increasing, what's getting more expensive, and what nurses can do today to reduce risk without practicing scared.

What you'll learn:

Why correctional nursing is showing up more in claim trends, and what "deliberate indifference" means in real cases

Why home health continues to drive a huge portion of claims (even though far fewer nurses work in that setting)

A real example of how blurred boundaries in home health can spiral into scope issues, board investigation, and job loss

How lack of equipment + improvising (yes, even "I'll just YouTube it") can turn into devastating patient harm

Why aesthetics/cosmetic nursing is higher risk than many nurses assume

How nurse leaders and charge nurses can be named in claims, even without touching the patient

The big AI questions no one can fully answer yet: Who's responsible if AI contributes to harm? Should patients be told? Is AI a tool… or a product?

The "feast or famine" documentation problem: EMRs capture everything… except the context you actually need to defend care

If you're a bedside nurse, a home health nurse, a correctional nurse, or a nurse leader, this episode will help you spot risk patterns before they become a problem, and reinforce the simplest truth in nursing liability: good care + good documentation = protection.
