The USF Health Form is required ONLY if you plan on taking on-campus courses. If you intend on completing Foundations of Knowledge and Learning (FKL), Foreign Language, or State Mandated Nursing requirements on-campus, then you will be prompted to submit the form. If you do not submit the form, an immunization hold will always appear on your account. The hold should never prevent registration into online courses. If you start as an online student and later need to take on-campus courses, you will be prompted to submit the Form. If you plan to take on-campus classes, the form must be completed by a licensed ARNP or physician. Office stamps and/or additional attached documentation will not be accepted in lieu of a provider’s signature and license number. Immunization records, along with your signed USF Medical History Form, can be scanned and submitted electronically on the Student Health Services website - http://www.shs.usf.edu/ |

The RN to Bachelor’s curriculum is designed to integrate new practice related knowledge and skills to function in the professional role as a Baccalaureate prepared nurse. Experiential Learning is a required element in three of the core courses. Students in NUR 4828C complete their Experiential Learning hours at their place of employment if the facility approves. It is the expectation that the student would have an opportunity in this situation to gain a broader and deeper perspective of his or her own organization, as well as for the employer to have the opportunity to provide a forum for professional growth within the organization for the employee. Additional hours are incorporated in NUR 4169C and NUR 4634C to meet student learning outcomes in Evidence Based Practice and Population Health through faculty guided experiences. An appropriate practicum facility allows students to complete the following tasks:
Please keep in mind; it is your responsibility to please notify us if your employment has changed since filling out your SOAR application. Students who do not have an approved work location for Experiential Learning hours will be placed in the Tampa Bay on a space available basis. The College of Nursing is unable to guarantee a specific time/schedule or specific preceptor availability for students requiring placement. The student must be able to complete their hours when the preceptor is available to them. Generally, there are no weekend and evening hours available. These hours are intended to be done outside of your normal work hours. |
