Students in the Department of Nursing are expected to be responsible for and self-directed in maintaining their health. Because of the strenuous demands of nursing study and practice, affiliate requirements, and the risks of exposure to illness, Department of Nursing students are required have a health clearance prior to beginning any clinical assignment. To determine clearance, a complete health assessment must be completed. The assessment may be done through Student Health Services or through the student's personal health care provider. However, ONLY RUTGERS DEPARTMENT OF NURSING FORMS ARE TO BE USED, AND COMPLETED FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO RUTGERS-CAMDEN STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES for clearance. If future assessment is indicated by initial findings, it must be done at appropriate intervals and submitted to Rutgers Student Health Services. THE ENTIRE HEALTH ASSESSMENT MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE NURSING MAJOR. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE TO THIS POLICY.
Please consult the Student
Handbook for further details about the student health policy.
