Briefing Notes

	Insurance Considerations When Nurses Assist Midwives
	Collaborative Practice: Are nurses employees or self-employed? This document is intended to assist employers of nurses as well as nurses and nurse practitioners to determine what types of liability insurance are required for their particular practice model.
	Professional Liability Protection in a Pandemic This publication is in response to members' questions about CNPS protection for persons temporarily licenced to practice nursing in a pandemic emergency.

CNPS Plus^®
CNPS sponsors a group insurance plan which offers additional, optional coverages to all Registered Nurses in Canada. Please see the CNPS Plus page for more information.

Unlike insurance, CNPS is:

	the Canadian nursing profession's own legal support system
	a non-profit society created, owned and operated by nurses for nurses
	specifically tailored to meet the professional liability needs of nurses in all nursing roles
	occurrence-based: the eligible nurse’s protection extends from the date the incident occurred
