COMPLIANCE
Before beginning any Nursing course (NUR) all students in all programs are required to satisfy all compliance requirements including an annual health assessment and physical examination, proof of immunizations, annual influenza vaccine, Verifiction of Technical Standards, a Level II Criminal Background Check including fingerprinting, drug screening, Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (BLS), from the American Heart Association (AHA), and carry personal health insurance . These requirements constitute Nursing’s Compliance Policy . Compliance Requirements Hodges University Nursing Programs require all nursing students to be in full compliance, regardless of the NUR course in which they are enrolled including courses without a clinical component . In order for a student to be considered in full compliance, all of the Nursing compliance requirements (with the exception of the influenza vaccine) must be valid for the entire academic year . None of the compliance requirements may expire at any time during the academic year . The dates for this are determined by the student’s firt nursing session . The deadline for the influenza vaccine will be announced annually . All compliance requirements, except for the influenza vaccine, must be uploaded to and in an approved or completed status by Castlebranch, a compliance certific tion vendor, prior to the start of the student’s fir t session . Proof of the influenza vaccine must be uploaded to and in an approved or completed status by a date determined by the Nursing Programs . Students are advised to upload their compliance materials at least 2 weeks prior to the due date to allow processing time for approval . Any student who does not fulfill the compliance requirements by the beginning of the session is at risk for losing their clinical placement . Compliance documents are managed by a third-party vendor, Castlebranch . All students
must purchase and create an online account to upload all compliance documents into the online account while enrolled in any Hodges University Nursing Program . The Director of the Program or their designee will monitor the compliance of students . Health Status and Proof of Immunization Students are required to submit a Health History and Physical Examination, Immunization Record, and Verific tion of Technical Standards Form prior to enrollment in the nursing program and to submit an annual Health History and Physical Examination form annually . In addition, students are responsible for sharing personal health information that may aff ect safety and performance in the classroom and clinical areas . Should a student have a health problem or hospitalization that interferes with classroom or clinical activities, the student will be asked to obtain a health clearance documentation from the student’s health provider in order to continue with the Program . This form will be given to the Director of the Program . If the student is unable to continue with the Program, the student will request a leave of absence (LOA) for health reasons or be administratively withdrawn from the Program .
