When I was in school we had to show proof of , along with current CPR certification. I don't remember how much it was at a student rate.

My current malpractice insurance as an LPN in Illinois was $107 for this year. It's through nso.

I'm not REQUIRED to carry malpractice insurance, and my employer has malpractice insurance, but I would not feel comfortable unless I had my own coverage. Having my own insurance means that, God forbid, someone should ever make an accusation against me, I would have an attorny to represent ME, not the company AND me.

Also, you can clain it as a deduction on your taxes. :)

As an employer I would NEVER consider hiring a LPN or RN without them carrying their own . The insurance employers provide does cover a portion of legal expenses but most employers require nurses carry their own and it is foolish not too.

Consider applying now as sometimes there is a waiting period for the coverage to take effect.
