The College of Nursing uses a third-party service known as Typhon to track student progress in real time in clinical settings. All clinical and practicum experiences will be logged in the Typhon system. You will receive information about Typhon in the Canvas onboarding site and orientation. There is a one-time fee for use of Typhon and students are expected to pay the fee upon registering. An email will be sent during your first year with the student’s unique Typhon login and temporary password, and a link to the platform. The link is only active for 7 days from the date it was sent; it is recommended to set up the Typhon account as soon as you receive the email.
Several forms are found in Typhon that are used during clinical and practicum experiences. Forms include: 1) Preceptor Request, 2) Preceptor Agreement Form, and 3) Preceptor Evaluation of Student Performance. These forms and instructions can be found at https://www.nursing.psu.edu/ graduate-forms/. Be certain that the CURRENT course is used when completing the forms.
