Services Provided by RN Guardian

Every RN Guardian “member” or “plan participant” is entitled to the same services provided by RN Guardian and its Panel Attorneys. These services include representation of the Registered Nurse plan participant during the course of any investigation by the Board of Registered Nursing (“BRN”) into the plan participant, challenging BRN citations and fines informally and formally, and zealously advocating for the RN Guardian member in the BRN administrative hearing before an Administrative Law Judge and before the full Board of Registered Nursing. In legally viable cases, the services provided by RN Guardian to its members also include seeking to overturn adverse administrative decisions in the California Superior Court through “administrative mandamus” proceedings. In addition, RN Guardian members or plan participants always have access to informal advice regarding any licensing matter through toll-free telephone contact to RN Guardian.

Plan Contract

RN Guardian’s “Plan Contract” is the services agreement which sets forth the obligations for both RN Guardian and each Registered Nurse who joins RN Guardian to receive the benefits under the pre-paid legal services plan for license defense matters. As a condition to becoming a “member” or “plan participant” of RN Guardian, each Registered Nurse who wishes to join must first read, understand, and agree to coverage under the Plan Contract.

The basic terms of the Plan Contract are:

• RN Guardian membership benefits apply to any RN with a valid, active license from the California Board of Registered Nursing who has properly applied for membership and who is current on payment of required contributions (either $7.95 per month or $ 95.40 per year).
• Membership benefits include advice from an experienced attorney during the course of any investigation by the Board of Registered Nursing, representation by the attorney in any BRN administrative hearing, assistance with settling a matter with the BRN, and other advice and consultation related to issues surrounding an RN's professional license.
• A Member must notify RN Guardian of a claim for benefits once the member is informed that BRN is conducting an investigation into the Member in order to receive representation by an attorney through his or her RN Guardian membership.
