Car insurance for nursing school in CA

Published

So I've never really needed a car. I've been taking the bus and walk all my life. I've emailed the clinical coordinator, who is also out of office atm. since i'll need a car, I'm studying for my permit and license right now, but I won't have a car first semester.

As of now I've a state ID card

Now, the background check asks for car insurance information which I don't have. So, if I'll be car pooling or taking public transportation (uber if it's not available) first semester.

I'm a little concerned that it'll get my admission revoked since insurance is required on the background check.... it seems that only in CA do nursing schools ask for car insurance info

Would it be possible to get it waived?

the school uses the agency certified background

Can't you provide a parent's automobile insurance policy number for the purposes of the background check? IMHO, this would be the easiest way to not leave that question blank on the background check form.

Many young people and newer drivers do not have auto insurance coverage of their own. Rather, they are added as an 'occasional driver' to the insurance policy of a parent or spouse to cut costs.

My parents live overseas and my closest relatives live in Ohio. Also I'm 25 so I don't know if that applies
