ALL classes and clinical experiences must be attended or the student will not receive a certificate. The student must have a white uniform, appropriate work shoes, a name pin and a watch with a second hand. A current American Heart Association CPR card is required. Preference is given to those currently employed in an extended care facility. Those not employed in an extended care facility are accommodated on a space available basis.
Clinical time is held from approximately the third to the seventh week of the quarter.
Lab testing will be scheduled outside of normal class and clinical time, and is usually held an hour or two prior to the start of class on Tuesday evening. Background checks of criminal history are also required for area hospitals. All nursing students will fill out a disclosure statement and a background check for criminal history will be done by the Washington State Patrol.
