ELIGIBILITY FOR PLACEMENT IN DIRECTED CLINICAL PRACTICE
New student admission into the program will be contingent upon the satisfactory completion of the follow for placement into Directed Clinical Practice (clinical education at hospital affiliates).
- Successful completion of a background check & drug screen
- Physical exam by a physician or nurse practitioner
- All required immunizations and/or lab titers indicating immunity
- Annual TB testing (chest x-ray, if applicable)
- CPR certification
The checklist must be completed by the deadline. Students with incomplete items by the deadline will forfeit their spot in the program due to ineligibility and must reapply to the program.
The hospital affiliates have the right to reject student placement based on their own established policies regarding background and drug screen results, which do not necessarily reflect the policies of the district or school. If a hospital affiliate refuses student placement, the decision is final and the student will not be admitted to the program.
