RNFA

 

















 

In time of need, you can never have enough insurance. Do not count on 'others' to look after you.

An RNFA, practicing within the scope of nursing practice, governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, through the College of Nurses of Ontario, is responsible for their own actions and activities. RNFAs, who practice in an expanded role, have a particular need for a malpractice insurance policy to protect themselves from liability claims.

Magnes Group Inc. has arranged NurseInsure exclusively for members of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO). A Registered Nurse who holds a valid certificate of registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario and is a RNAO member, is eligible to participate in the NurseInsure program, brokered by Magnes Group Inc. This program offers malpractice insurance to protect you against allegations of negligence arising from the rendering of, or failure to render professional services.

NurseInsure differs from the Legal Assistance Program (LAP). LAP provides discretionary payments to cover the costs associated with legal matters arising from your professional practice other than civil actions for malpractice. Examples include appearances before tribunals, complaints to the College of Nurses of Ontario, and wrongful dismissal. LAP is purchased directly from RNAO. NurseInsure is a true insurance policy, which carries with it a duty on behalf of the insurance company to defend you against malpractice claims, and pay any judgements on your behalf, up to the Insurer's limit of liability. NurseInsure does not provide coverage for those matters which fall under LAP coverage: The two programs complement each other.
