Health Insurance
The student enrolled in the nursing
program is neither an employee of the college nor
an employee of the clinical agency. Neither is he/she
considered an employee of any health care facility
used as an extended campus site for this program.
Therefore, at all times, the student is responsible
for his/her own medical needs and costs. Students
who purchase an ASB card will have limited coverage
for college related injuries.
Student nurse workers enrolled in
Clinical Practicum courses (ADN 212, 221 and 222)
and employed by a hospital are an exception to this
rule only when they are functioning as employees.
Malpractice Insurance
Students in the program are required
to show proof of current individual malpractice insurance.
Students should plan on an expenditure of about $25-40
a year for insurance. Information and brochures are
available through the Student Nurse Association and/or
the Program Director. A copy of the insurance policy
is to be submitted to the Program Director upon entering
the program and annually thereafter until graduation.
A copy will be kept in the student's file.
