There are many reasons why medical malpractice occurs; it is not always solely the fault of the doctor, nurse, or other medical professional involved. In some medical malpractice lawsuits, it comes to light that medical professionals were not properly trained by the hospital at which they were employed.

Even though nurses and doctors go through a great deal of schooling, they still must go through an additional intense bout of training at the first hospital at which they are employed post school. Unfortunately, there are hospitals that do not offer adequate training to the staff which they hire.

There are a number of incentives for hospital to cut corners when it comes to training new employees including:

• The cost of training: Training just one nurse can cost the hospital thousands of dollars.
• Time loss: Training means losing time in which a new employee can be working on the floor to help the hospital.
• Organization: A training program must be assembled and put into place.

Even though it may seem as though there are benefits to offering subpar training at a hospital, the benefits never outweigh the negatives. Poorly trained hospital staff can cause major injuries to the patients who trust them.
