In the US there are approximately 183,400
nurses working in physician offices and over 1.5 million at medical/surgical
hospitals.1 Many of
these employers do not provide disability insurance to their employees.
The median income for a nurse is $65,470, an amount that most would consider worth protecting in the event she/he could not work due to illness or injury. With a disability policy that would be around a $3400 monthly benefit - TAX FREE!
Customize a plan to fit their needs that could include Own
Occupation - meaning if he/she is disabled and unable to perform nursing duties
- they will receive a benefit even if they choose to work in another
profession.
