The Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Program Student Handbook contains the policies of the Department of Nursing. By accepting enrollment as a nursing student, each applicant agrees to abide by the department's regulations.

All  nursing students must present:

• Yearly verification of tuberculosis screening. If the test is positive, refer to the Communicable Disease Policy in the Student Handbook for additional information.

• Updated immunization records including hepatitis B.

• Verification of varicella vaccination or show immunity titer.

• Evidence of physical examination within three months prior to beginning a professional program.

• Verification of current certification in professional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from the American Heart Association, including infant, child, and adult CPR.

• Evidence of a successfully-completed FIT test prior to the professional program deadline (Florida students only) must be completed on an annual basis.

• All health records, immunizations, and CPR certifications must be submitted at the Nursing Department Orientation the week prior to the start of classes.  Failure to submit these documents by that day may result in forfeiture of a seat in the program.
