HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

Students accepted in the nursing program will need to complete all health requirements prior to being allowed to do the clinical training portion. Results of the health screening must be submitted to the admissions office. These requirements are mandated by the affiliating hospitals in order to protect both the patient and health worker (student nurse). Health requirements are reviewed every term the student is in the program to assure they are current. Not maintaining required health status will result in dismissal from the nursing program. 

Pregnant and postpartum students may continue in, or return to the nursing program at the discretion of the faculty and the student’s physician. Periodic statements of physical fitness may be required for any student who has been recently seriously ill or hospitalized. 

All Healthcare Institute will notify the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians in writing of any student requiring special assistance for any verified disability. If any student expects this assistance, please contact the Administrator of the Vocational Nursing Program at All Healthcare Institute and make needs known in writing four months prior to taking the NCLEX-PN®.
