Practical Nursing- International Program Specific Requirements & Additional Information
Submitting Clinical Requirements
- All documents must be scanned or photographed and sent by email to: clinicalrequirements@northern.on.ca
Keep all original copies of required forms, reports, and documents in a safe place. You will need these documents for employment following the completion of your program. The college is not responsible for providing copies of documents to students once submitted.
- Documentation that will be accepted as proof of immunization and communicable disease testing includes:
- a. A copy of your Ontario Public Health Immunization Record, or other Health Care Provider immunization record (stamped and signed by the HCP)
- b. C opies of your laboratory testing results (report)
- Students and their clinical teachers are guests in the Health Care and Emergency Services agencies in which clinical placements occur. These Agencies have the right to require mandatory immunizations and communicable disease testing from us. Failure to comply will result in denial of access to clinical attendance. This will jeopardize your success in the program. Students who are unable to attend clinical courses cannot pass the course to which clinical practice is attached.
- Immunizations and communicable disease testing are not subject to accommodation for philosophical or religious reasons and only a medical exemption will be accepted.
- NOTE: It is your responsibility to inform program personnel of health information that may need to be considered to protect you and/or the clients in the clinical setting. Please review the College of Nurses of Ontario’s Requisite Skills and Abilities for Nursing Practice in Ontario Fact Sheet .
