Responsibilities and liabilities of nursing

I am not currently working as a nurse, but I am coming to the conclusion that the responsibilities and liabilities of practicing nursing in a direct patient care role, for me outweigh the reward (financial, personal satisfaction of helping people). In a malpractice/negligence claim I understand that an injury that a reasonable person would expect is excluded from coverage. An injury may be physical or psychological. As a nurse my practice is governed by many laws: The Nurse Practice Act for my state; Standards of Care for my specialty; Patient's Bill of Rights; HIPAA; facility policies and procedures, and more. It is one thing to meet these legal requirements when you have received sufficient training as a nursing student, and your working conditions (new or experienced nurse) allow for safe practice, i.e. adequate orientation; adequate staffing; reasonable patient ratios; sufficient equipment; administrative support. It is another thing entirely to try to meet these legal requirements when these conditions do not prevail.

These are my personal thoughts. I wondered what other nurses are thinking about the responsibilities and liabilities of nursing in regard to practicing nursing.

dudette10, thank you for replying. I do not have any legal training, and my thinking about this topic may be quite incorrect. In regard to your first question, I am not sure if we are referring to the same thing.These are just my thoughts, but I keep thinking that the word "expectation" does not refer to one's personal expectations or intentions, but to what would be expected by a "reasonable person." I think if one commits errors in one's professional nursing practice that result in injury or damages to a patient, and if one is deemed to not have practiced as a "reasonable nurse", i.e. committed errors that a "reasonable nurse" would expect to result in injury or damages, then that qualifies as an exclusion.
