I am required to obtain Liability Insurance for a nurse practitioner student for summer semester and beyond (grad date 2008 - MSN/FNP)
Money is EXTREMELY tight and I need to know where I can get the best deal - I will not qualify for any financial aid until fall because of the way my PT program is structured and the no. of hours I am taking
any info will be appreciated

Hello, mtnmom,
Go here: www.nso.com
Free quotes and reasonable terms for NP students. I think around $250/yr.
thanks for the advice, siri. Unfortunately, given my financial situation even $250 is a tough pill to swallow right now. (I have 2 kids and a husband who cannot find a good-paying job where we live) Hopefully my situation will improve within the year, but right now that is a lot of money and I am not certain that I can handle it in combination with all the other school expenses I am facing. By fall I will have progressed to a stage in the program where my number of hours will enable me to qualify for financial aid.
I did an online search and found a site http://www.npso.com (I think) that has a flat rate for $89 a year for NP students. But I wonder why the difference in price.
Anyone familiar with that company or any others? I want to investigate several options. Even if it is something to get me through the next few months and then upgrade.
I understand. I've not heard of that company. And, I couldn't get the link to show an insurance carrier.
Good luck. If I think of others, I will get back to you.

Hi there, regarding your question about Liability Insurance for NP students: Moderator Siri is correct. Check out www.nso.com
I have coverage limits of up to $6,000,000 annual aggregate with up to $1,000,000 per occurrence at an annual premium of $89.00 USD. This is because I work part time. I also used them when I worked full time.
Good luck with your studies and good luck in obtaining your mal practice insurance.
