Bergen CC Fall 2013 Program

I'm still looking into health insurance, I have left voicemails at several companies and I'm waiting for some replies. I'm hoping to find something reasonable.

Go to the national student nurses association website they offer a reasonable plan

Unfortunately they are no longer offering the insurance plan as of 2013-14 due to changes in Federal law. It was a good, affordable plan. If you are under 31 years old you may be able to restart coverage under your parent (s) insurance plan as a full time student.

Here is a direct copy and pasted page from your nursing packet received in the mail:

DIVISION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS

Department of Nursing

ALL NURSING STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN

It takes a few weeks to receive your official CPR card. Upon receipt of your card, please make a photo copy of the card and submit the copy to the Nursing Office.

Which insurance company is it? 170 sounds good to me!

Horizon basic and essential EPO costs about 200 for me... Anyone have better options out there?

question for second level, it is better to start with gi/gu or cardiac/respiratory?

The most debated question as an entering level two student I was advised by professors, past students and mentors to take gi gu first than cardiac and level 3 take psych than maternity

I just received a letter from school saying we no longer require health insurance as of 7/5/2013? Gov. Christie signed into law such a bill?

Am I the only one?

See my post on August 7th regarding the letter you received. Yes the letter states Gov Christie no longer requires full time students to have health insurance coverage however as stated in the letter sent to our homes. Bergen community college and its hospital affiliates requires you DO need to have personal health insurance. This school can be sneaky and confusing with paperwork I urge you to read things twice three even four times and keep it in your records.

Sorry let me re phrase that... The allied health divisions of Bergen Community College and the hospitals we affiliate with for clinicals REQUIRE us to have it! Please everyone get personal health insurance and provide a copy to health services with all of your health forms soon!! CPR Malpractice copies go to the Nursing Dept Secretary

since our clinicals start mid-october, can i wait to buy insurance so that i will go into effect on october 1st?
