No More Pass for Clinical

Beginning in Fall, 2009, there will be no more "pass for clinical" for newly admitted nursing students.

  • Verification of TB Skin Test (2 step initially, then 1 step every six months)
  • Hepatitis B Vaccine Completion or Declination

  • Current Unrestricted RN License (only required of RN Baccalaureate Completion students)
  • Plagiarism Detection
  • Photo, Video and Audio Release Form

  • Code of Conduct Pledge

All of these are located on the School of Nursing website under the Current Students Forms section.

The forms can be sent to CertifiedBackground.com via e-mail, fax, or surface mail. Follow the [PDF] Student Instructions (135 KiB) for complete step by step instructions.
