Hi, I'm Erica, and I'm new here. I am considering going into nursing school in the Spring 2005 ( I missed the Fall 2004 deadline, icky!)

Anyways, I was just wondering where you got your from and what were the costs???

Thanks in advance!!

I agree, students shouldn't be without - the trend in malpractice suits is to name EVERYONE who came within 50 feet of the patient.:rolleyes:

I also got my coverage from NSO.

Those of you who posted that it was included in your tuition - I'm curious - is this individual coverage specifically for you, or for the group of students? Of course you're also named in the school's policy(ies) - they couldn't let you into the clinical area without doing so - they're also responsible for your actions.

Just curious ...
