Malpractice insurance is not required for students. The College recommends that students evaluate the malpractice issue and obtain coverage prior to their first clinical course if they desire. Graduate Nursing students may want to consult the Graduate Nursing Program Director regarding coverage. The College liability insurance only covers students during College-sponsored activities. Malpractice insurance coverage is available through National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) (BSN students) or local and national insurance agencies.
