Please be prepared to bring a bank check payable to Case Western Reserve University for the amount of $65 to your background check appointment.
Student Nurse Liability Insurance
On your student bill note that all Bolton School students pay for a membership in the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA). Included in the many benefits offered by this professional organization is a student nurse liability insurance plan. Student liability insurance is required of all students by our clinical sites. Once enrolled in fall classes a student may decline the NSNA membership but he/she will need to simultaneously secure a student nurse liability insurance plan and verify the same with the BSN department before clinical practice.
