Nursing Expert

Nursing expert witnesses are nurses who testify about nursing in all settings, from the bedside to the operating room, including qualified nursing facilities. There are nearly 3,000,000 nurses in the United States, and they outnumber doctors in a 4: 1 ratio. As a result, nurses provide the majority of health care to patients in the country, and also do it internationally. The growing demand for nurses has also led to considerable specialization, as nurses work alongside doctors in various fields ranging from hyperbaric medicine to clinical cardiac electrophysiology. Given the complexity of daily nursing practice, it is not surprising that nurses are routinely named in medical negligence suits. While nurses themselves may be the primary target of medical malpractice claims, they are more often associated with lawsuits as a strategic maneuver, viewing them as agents of their "pocket" employer. For all these reasons, a high percentage of medical negligence cases require expert nursing witnesses.
