Disability insurance provides financial protection for nurses who are unable to work due to a disability, whether it is short-term or long-term. This insurance can help cover lost income, medical expenses, and other costs associated with a disability.
Nurses are at risk of developing a disability due to the physical and emotional demands of their job. They may be required to lift heavy patients, work long hours, and deal with stressful situations. As a result, they are more likely to experience injuries, illnesses, and other health conditions that can lead to disability.
