Each Fall, continuing students must renew the following requirements. You must be compliant for the entire academic year.
Annual Requirements
(must be uploaded to Castlebranch)
TB: Documentation of an initial two-step Tuberculin skin test (TST) upon admission.
Annually thereafter, you will answer 5 qualifying questions. Based on those responses the requirement will be met, or you will be advised on further actions.
Influenza: All students must submit evidence no later than October 1 each year of a current immunization against influenza.
WSP (WATCH) Report: Go to WSP to set up an account. Order the Criminal History report for $11with debit/credit card. The results are immediate once the information is complete. Save a copy and upload to Castlebranch. The due date is dependent on the program you are enrolled in. Graduate students are due a year from submission. Undergraduate students are due 6/5. For more information contact your Onboarding Coordinator.
Liability Insurance: All clinical agencies require nursing students to have Professional Liability Insurance to perform internships at their facilities. The University requires nursing students to obtain WSU Student Liability Insurance. This is the only liability insurance WSU College of Nursing accepts and must be kept in effect continually while enrolled in any nursing course. Students must fill out and submit the liability insurance form. This policy covers your student experience, not your professional work experience.
Criminal History Disclosure Form: A conviction/criminal history record does not necessarily disqualify an individual from placement at a clinical site. However, certain criminal convictions and certain court administrative determinations may preclude assignment to a clinical site and thus, completion of the program of study. Students must fill out and submit the disclosure form.
CPNW Clinical Learning Modules: All new and returning students must complete the Clinical Learning Modules each fall to meet the clinical agency requirements.
