Malpractice insurance

Published

I just passed my certification exam YAY!!! Once I have my active state licence and NPI number I will be starting my job. My question is where do I start looking for my own coverage at? What type of coverage should I look for? Thanks.

If you decide to get your own policy, the three major writers of nursing are CNA (sold by NSO), Liberty Mutual (sold by ProLiability), and MedPro (sold by affinity marketing of this site). CNA is by far the largest writer of this type of insurance.

Also check your state requirements. In my state I could not be issued a license until I obtained insurance per the required limits and provided proof.

IMHO you should have had the second you received your RN license....get it ASAP.

And, I'll go a step further.

IMO, one should get as a student and carry it over once licensed as an RN.
