  2. Does it matter where you get your student malpractice insurance?

    WDW4ever posted a topic in General Students

    I am in the process of gathering the documents required for the first clinical. My school mentioned two insurance programs, through NSO and Marsh. Or it said you can look for others. Does it make a...

  3. Does it matter where you get your student malpractice insurance?

    WDW4ever replied to WDW4ever's topic in General Students

    I'm sure the school has a policy to cover students, but they also require each student to have a policy. As newRNstudent02 posted, I think it's a good idea anyway. And it is inexpensive, compared to...

    WDW4ever replied to WDW4ever's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    EDjunkie - I agree! I didi end up getting the large tote, and I do like using it, but it doesn't fit a lot. I think I am going to use it when I don't need to haul a lot of stuff, and I will look...
