Advanced Practice Students: Email didactic faculty or program director.
DNP Students: Email DNP Clinical Residency Coordinator or Program Manager.
Students participating in clinical activities must complete and/or update CastleBranch or Complio (San Diego only) requirements.
CastleBranch for Returning students (Fall 2023 and prior): Ensure all data is up-to-date and accurate (i.e. if your TB test results have expired--you must upload new data; new vaccine info, etc.). Please see this article if you have questions.
CastleBranch for New Students (Spring 2024): Please follow the instructions in this article. Your package codes are different from the ones for returning students. Please do not use those package codes. Contact your program manager if you have any questions.
Complio: For prelicensure students in San Diego, clinical requirements will be assigned to you within Complio and explained in more detail by your Program Manager, Renee Dierking rdierking@apu.edu.
Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (including SARS CoV): Make sure to upload the certificate from Canvas after you complete the Transmissible Diseases (including SARS CoV) course into CastleBranch/Complio. You do not need to pay $5 from the COVID-19 NDPH Training website to do so.
Implicit Bias: You do not need to upload the Implicit Bias Canvas certificate into CastleBranch. Completing the course is sufficient. If you have already completed the Culturally Competent Nursing portion, then you only need to complete CLAS in Maternal Health Care section. If you have not completed Culturally Competent Nursing, then you will need to complete both modules. This requirement is for pre-licensure and NP students only.
APU does not require COVID vaccination or boosters for our students; however, students who provide services in our clinical partner facilities must follow the facility’s health and onboarding requirements. Students are not guaranteed clinical placements when they do not meet our clinical partners' needs.
