Health Maintenance Requirements

Nursing program requires students comply with:
◦ Obtaining and completing a health maintenance record form
(each year you are here, there is a new form to fill out)
◦ Handing in copies of lab reports, titers, immunization records,
and other documents that are requested WITH the health
maintenance record TOGETHER!
◦ Purchase uniform and ATI
◦ Background check (met as a preclinical student and must be
done yearly)
◦ Malpractice Insurance (must renew YEARLY)
◦ Current CPR certification (good for 2 years)
◦ Yearly Two Step TB testing (2 PPDs 1-4 weeks apart)
◦ Drug testing (yearly)
◦ An influenza immunization (yearly)
It is the student’s responsibility to keep
current with yearly health maintenance
procedures, i.e. CPR, Two Step PPDs,
malpractice insurance, influenza
immunization.
 Each year you are here, there is a form to
be filled out and some type of health
maintenance to keep current.

Everything must be handed in together, not separate!
Please use my i.e. check off sheet to verify you

- You must make an appointment with me when you are ready to hand in completed documents
and health requirements – after I see all documents are complete you will receive
authorization to register for open seats in all 5 sections of Foundations of Nursing – day
students day section – eve students eve sections. More registration information will come
to students via postal mail in the month of July.
Diagnostic Testing
Each student is to have the following lab work
done by their personal physician: hemoglobin,
hematocrit, CMP (comprehensive metabolic
panel) and urinalysis (NOT A URINE DIPSTICK
IN OFFICE).
 The physician MUST fill in the values of
each test on the “Student Health
Maintenance Record” AND provide a
copy of each lab to keep in the students’ file.

Immunizations & Titers

Hepatitis B (HEP B)
◦ All students require a Hepatitis B titer
 3 distinct vaccines in the series
 Vaccine schedule must be followed
- Get Dose #1, 28 days later dose #2, then 4 -6 months
later dose #3.
HEP B TITER DRAWN SIX-EIGHT (6-8)WEEKS after dose
#3
Students not immune NEED to follow-up with
their health care provider because they may
need to go through a second full
series/booster, and then must re-titer.
Immunizations & Titers

All students require a MMR titer

Measles, Mumps, & Rubella (MMR)
◦ Students born before 1957 are considered to have
natural immunity, but still need a titer.
◦ Students born after 1957 need to make sure they had
two MMR vaccines before the titer is performed.
Mumps & Rubella Titers
◦ Must show immunity; if negative titer, student must
follow-up with their health care provider for boosters
& re-titer
◦ If need vaccination, titer is done 6-8 weeks after
series completed

Varicella/Chickenpox
◦ All students require a varicella titer
◦ It is NOT acceptable to simply get the
date of disease documented – a titer is
mandatory!
◦ Students with a negative/non-immune
varicella titer must follow-up with their health
care provider for the varicella immunization
series & another titer 6-8 weeks later to
show immunity
TdaP
◦ Tetanus shot good for 10 years
◦ Tdap for people under 65 years of age
◦ If never had any vaccination for tetanus or
diphtheria, need to complete a series of 3
immunizations, then receive a titer 6 – 8
weeks later.
Influenza
Flu shots are REQUIRED for nursing students
during “flu season.” It is mandated by the clinical
facilities – can get started in August 2014

Background Check
Students entering the nursing program MUST go to the

every year after, get a criminal history background check
done.

Malpractice Insurance Policy
 RN students MUST have malpractice insurance –
some students use CMF group insurance (see
handout)
 Only valid submission of proof is Declaration sheet
 Professional liability limitations
• 1 Million dollars for each occurrence/claim
• 6 Million dollars aggregate
• Time period must cover entire semester
• The policy should be purchased May/June (May for
PNADs). This will allow the policy to be valid for the
entire school year.
• If you are currently a health care provider who carries malpractice insurance, you
will need to add on your RN student status, and make sure the liability amounts are
correct. If you have any trouble doing this, I have a letter that I may customize for
you to send to the insurance company.
CPR Certification
All students must provide a copy of a
valid BLS Healthcare Provider CPR
Card, from the American Heart
Association.
 No other CPR providers are
accepted – only American Heart
Association.
 A copy of CPR card is the only proof
accepted that you are certified.

(continue CPR)

Expiration dates before the end of the school year
(3/31/15) are NOT helpful, because the CPR
certification will not be valid through the entire school
year!

RN Nursing Students should have CPR
valid from May/June/July2014May/June/July2016
CPR class (if needed)
-
You may go to any BLS AHA CPR class
-
Feel free to check hospitals or Google
AHA BLS CPR classes – must do class
and have card BEFORE 8/5/14
Tuberculosis Testing/PPD
 All students in PNAD, 1st Year, and 2nd Year
programs are required to have 2 PPDs yearly
 PPD test must be assessed within 48-72 hours after
placement and measurement of the size (in mm) of
induration noted. Then a 2nd PPD test must be
placed1-4 weeks later. It is then to be
assessed within 48-72 hours after placement.
- The area is to be measured in mm and
documented. There is a spot for physicians to
document this on your health maintenance form.
 If results are positive
 follow-up chest x-ray required
 for All students under 35 years of age, INH
prophylaxis must be taken.

You do not want your PPD to expire in a
semester.

Tuberculosis testing for Generic Nursing
Students should be done between May and July
to avoid the PPD expiring in a semester and
PNADs should have their 2 PPDs done in May
(the first PPD can be in April).

A two step PPD done 4/01/14 and 4/08/14 is NOT
acceptable because it will not be valid through the
entire Spring 2015 semester.
