Should a nurse aide working for private duty home care, not through an agency, get malpractice insurance?

yes

No and you couldn't get it anyway. It is for doctors. You only work on the orders of a doctor usually. Technically you are not practicing medicine are you?
Your chances of doing something wrong and getting sued for it is nill since y ou are a nurses aid and empty bedpans, change diapers, brush hair, give spnge baths, etc.

no. you dont need to have any of that you are not a dr . and you are not practicing medicine,are you ?
