health services, rehabilitation centers, clinics, homes for the aged,
and physician’s offices.

CPR/BLS certification, uniforms, equipment, photo identification,
and transportation for clinical experiences. Nursing students are
required to furnish proof of private health insurance.

Prior to clinical nursing courses, students must provide
documentation of:
a) Complete physical examination. Obtain the physical
examination form from the School of Nursing office before having
