Malpractice Insurance?

http://www.nso.com/ Around $50 ttl for the whole yr!!!

I second this!! Great insurer.

as a new grad when should or should you look into malpractice insurance???

Immediately, and yes.

NSO and Marsh are the two companies specifically dealing with nursing liability insurance that I have heard mentioned most often (I have my coverage through Marsh). Some people on this board have mentioned that they have coverage through a rider on their homeowner's insurance but I have no idea how that works -- I've always been most comfortable dealing with a company that specializes in dealing with nursing liability.

Go through NSO. They have great rates for new grads. When you do get covered just make sure that you don't tell anybody not even coworkers that you have it though.

Why? I can't imagine starting that conversation, but if a co-worker was talking about it and I had something to add, I would. Our profs at school encouraged us to get insurance.

I don't really understand the whole paranoia about keeping your coverage a secret. I don't wear a lapel button at work saying, "Ask me about my malpractice insurance," but I wouldn't lie about it if asked, and I don't see why it's so important to be secretive about it (we've had people post here in the past warning us to not even let our spouses know whether or not we have insurance ). In my experience, if a situation/incident/outcome justifies a lawsuit, the plaintiff's attorney will include everyone even remotely involved in the suit, whether you have insurance or not. In this day and age, no one takes sympathy, or doesn't bother with, anyone because they don't have insurance, so I don't see how it makes any difference.
