Congratulations! By now you have been informed by the Health Sciences Office that you have been accepted to the Associate Degree Nursing LVN-RN Transition program. It is now time to proceed with fulfilling the clinical requirements as soon as possible since some parts (immunizations) may take as much as 4 - 6 months to complete. All documentation for the Clinical Requirements (immunizations, CPR, etc.) must be submitted as a complete packet in a 9 x 11 envelope by :
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Records will not be accepted separately.
.
A Pre-Enrollment Clinical Requirements checklist is available for you to print and use as a guide in completing all of the processes necessary. If you have been accepted into the class, complete all Steps (A - G) following the directions here, on the checklist and in the associated policies.
We encourage you to start the process by reviewing the clinical requirements for the program and the required immunizations along with the associated clinical requirements policy.
Step A - Immunizations - Document on the Immunizations /TB screening Documentation and the 2-Step TB Screening Questionnaire.
Step B - CPR Certificate - As a nursing student, you will be assigned to patients in healthcare facilities for your clinical experiences and as such are required to be currently certified in Basic Life Support with CPR for adults, children, and infants and tested with two-person rescue. To document current CPR certification, submit a copy of your CPR card to the staff secretary when submitting your packet.
Step C - Technical Standards - Nursing is a physically demanding profession and you must be prepared to meet the technical standards necessary to physically perform the functions of nursing. Upon review of the standards, print the Technical Standards Disclosure Form, initialing each of the areas in which compliance with the standard is possible.
Step D - Confidential Clinical Application - The initial step to completing the criminal background check is to complete the Health Science Program Application for Clinical Practice form. This form discloses to Shasta College (Confidentially) the existence of any criminal issues. While the existence of convictions will not necessarily disqualify you from enrollment, failure to disclose may be considered falisfication and will result in the offer of enrollment being rescinded and will be grounds for immediate termination upon discovery at any time during enrollment.
Step E - Physical Examination - The required physical examination must be completed within no more than 6 months prior to entering the program. The results of the physical examination must be documented on the Health Data/Physical Exam form. The front page of the Health Data form is to be completed by you and the back page by your healthcare provider.
Step F - Tb Screening - The Tb screening results will be documented on the Immunizations Form and on the 2-Step TB Screening & Questionaire form.
Step G - Criminal Background Check/Drug Screening - It is important for you to follow the Step-By-Step Instructions for completing the Criminal Background Check and Drug Screening. Proceed with this step ONLY when notified of your acceptance into the class.
Once you have completed the Clinical Requirements and have the required documentation for each item necessary, the packet may be submitted to the Health Sciences office. The Health Sciences staff will review the materials and verify completion. All materials submitted become the property of Shasta College and will not be returned to you. We encourage you to make copies of all the forms and materials submitted for your own records.
