Q: Doesn’t my union or employee association already provide this kind of protection?

A: Maybe. Maybe not. It varies from one union to the next. Even unions which provide some form of assistance for defense of your professional license may not have access to or provide expert attorneys who are uniquely experienced with professional license defense matters, as all RN Guardian attorneys are.

Q: Doesn’t my union or employee association already provide this kind of protection?

A: It varies from one union to the next. Even if assistance is offered, it is probably some type of umbrella malpractice insurance and doesn’t provide you with access to attorneys that specialize in RN License defense.

Q: Will RN Guardian help me during a BRN investigation?

A: Yes. Once coverage has been granted, RN Guardian will provide advice, consultation, and other representational services to help you deal with a BRN investigation. This is the case even if the investigation never leads to any form of charges or allegations of misconduct. Your RN Guardian attorney will represent you during any interview or other fact finding procedure.

Q: Will I get a lawyer to represent me?

A: Yes. RN Guardian will provide you a lawyer who is an expert in licensing investigations and appeals. Your lawyer will be able to focus on you and your appeal and provide you the best representation possible.

Q: Is my RN Guardian membership affected if I change jobs?

A: No. Your RN Guardian membership is wholly independent from your employment. You can change jobs or stop working altogether and still maintain the benefits through RN Guardian.

Q: Will RN Guardian protect me if I belong to a union or employee association?

A: Yes. Your RN Guardian benefits are supplemental to any benefits or representation you receive from your union or employee association. RN Guardian is designed to protect your license and has expert lawyers who are trained to do just that. Many employee associations encourage RN Guardian membership as a complementary benefit to their members.

Q: How does my malpractice insurance affect my RN Guardian benefits?

A: RN Guardian will provide you representation whether or not you have malpractice insurance.

Q: How does RN Guardian differ from malpractice insurance? Do I need both?

A: RN Guardian is the equivalent of preventative medicine for your professional license: it is a more proactive approach to protection allowing you the peace of mind of knowing that you will always be represented by an expert attorney for the same low monthly cost, with no “cap” and you can seek legal counsel before your issue becomes a problem! Malpractice companies will reimburse a Nurse up to $10,000.00 on a case by case basis, which means that 10 grand is out of pocket and reimbursement stops there. You are FAR more likely to have a licensing issue than you are to be personally sued for malpractice.
