Second year health requirements
Must be completed and submitted by 12 noon on
Thursday of WEEK 8 OF QUARTER 3!
To clarify, here is a breakdown of specific areas that seem to have the most
questions/issues.
In addition to all the titers that are required (which you already have documented in
the nursing department), you will need to update the following prior to being
cleared by our clinical agencies to attend clinical at their sites:
1. TB testing: You must have ONE of the following within 12 months of the END of
Quarter 4:
 Two step PPD
o Note: must have date, and number of mm of induration, even if zero.
A plain “negative” without a number is not sufficient.
 Quantiferon
 Chest Xray
o Note: a CXR must be done annually for one of our clinical agencies. It
must be accompanied by evidence of a positive PPD in your past. If
you don’t have that documentation, a note from your physician stating
“PPD positive in the past” will suffice.
2. Tdap within 5 years
Note: a Tetanus (Td) is not sufficient. Must be a Tdap.
3. Current CPR (AHA)
4. Background check and drug screening
NOTE: You will be required to turn in a packet of all vaccinations and
immunity. All health documentation must have the name of the facility who
performed the test. You cannot hand write it in; it must be on letterhead, or a
form that includes the name.
