As a School of Nursing and Health Sciences student at the University of Minnesota, you are required complete all the necessary compliance requirements. There are a variety of items that students must keep up to date throughout their enrollment in the School of Nursing.
Documentation of the following items must be submitted prior to their expiration date to remain compliant:
CPR Certification
Vaccines
Background Study
HIPAA Online Training
Blood Borne Pathogen Online Training
Physical Exam and Technical Standards
The University of Minnesota requires all enrolled students to meet vaccination requirements. Additional vaccinations are also required for health sciences students which are described on the Boynton website.
School of Nursing students who are required to complete clinical practicums as part of their degree requirements must also be compliant with the requirements of our practicum sites. Each practicum site will have a unique set of requirements that students must complete prior to each semester. Failure to remain in compliance with these requirements may negatively impact a student’s ability to participate in training or practicum experiences and on their progress towards graduation. The School of Nursing does not have the authority to grant accommodations for clinical site compliance requirements. If an accommodation is requested, but not granted by the site, the School of Nursing is not obligated to reschedule the student to a new site.
For more information, refer to the Compliance Requirements website and the policy document below.
