What area will you be working in?

I'll be working at an Developmental Day Program. Similar to an Adult Day Program/Center, but for the developmentally disabled. There's an RN on staff, but I won't be working when she is. I really think is necessary-ESPECIALLY for this job.

That sounds awesome! I have a friend that does Adult Day Care with mixed clients, some geri some dd and loves it. Again congratulations. I remember when I first realized I actually was a nurse, this will be a very exciting time for you.

We have a malpractice policy available under our homeowners insurance. It is specifically for nurses and is very inexpensive. If you own your home, check with your agent.

i feel like such a newbie for asking this, but when i went on NSO, it told me the total due was $48 at the most. On PL, it told me my total was $114 at the most. is this per month or for the whole year??

I hear that state farm has their own liability? does anyone have coverage from them? am i better off going there, or places like NSO and PL?

Thank you!

These are yearly premiums. NSO gives new grads a 50% discount during their first year of nursing practice.

Yes, State Farm has a policy available. They are the ones I was talking about with the homeowners policy. I don't know if they offer it to people as an independent policy. Check it out anyway. It is worth a try. For me, it was half the cost of the full price policy that you got...and I bought it when I was just out of nursing school.

i ended up just signing with NSO. $48 for the first year doesn't seem so bad. thanks so much for the good advice! i love this site! haha
