Aug 25, '12 by amoLuciaTo paraphrase the old American Express TV commercial --- "don't work without it".
There's been multiple, multiple postings here about how your own insurance protects YOU. From readings here about schoool nursing, your field is even more blurry grey than most others and you deal with too many parents who probably have their attorneys on speed-dial. Cheap but invaluable protection. Do it.brillohead and elprup like this. -

The school's insurance company and lawyers' first priority will always be the school.
