Health Requirements for All Nursing Students

Prior to entry into NUR 2090, clinical settings, a physical examination with immunizations, boosters and antibody titers, as well as specific requirements of individual agencies, is mandated. Thereafter, an annual physical is required as per School of Nursing schedules.

• Students who do not submit their initial or annual completed physical by the due dates will be charged of late fee of $50.00.
• No students will be permitted to attend a clinical experience without a completed School of Nursing Physical Form on file in the School of Nursing. No further notice will be given.
• In addition, a student may be required to submit, at any time, a statement from his/her healthcare provider if evident limitations interfere with the student's practice or learning.
• Students are expected to attend all scheduled clinical days. Absence from a clinical experience must be reported to the faculty, the unit and the school-designated number as instructed by the clinical faculty.
• Nursing majors must have access to a car for ALL clinical experiences and are responsible for all transportation to and from clinical.
• Students may not schedule a class earlier than 1 hour from the scheduled end of a clinical course.
• All students are required to carry liability insurance under a group plan sponsored by Molloy before taking any clinical nursing course. See the School of Nursing for additional information. (RN and LPN students are required to carry individual policies and provide copies to the School of Nursing.) A copy of state licensure should be on file in the Admissions Office.
• All students in the School of Nursing must carry personal health insurance. Students who are injured, become ill, have exposures or other health-related issues at a clinical practicum site will be required to follow the respective clinical agency policy and protocol for evaluation and treatment. Any charges will be billed to the student's health insurance plan. All costs not covered by the insurance plan are the responsibility of the student.
• Students are required to maintain a clinical skills manual throughout the program. The manual will be instituted during NUR 2090 or NUR 2260 LPN and updated during each subsequent clinical nursing course. Student proficiency in skills will be validated by Nursing Learning Laboratory staff and faculty. Students will be required to demonstrate skill proficiency to faculty at the beginning of each clinical nursing course.
• Clinical experiences are provided in cooperation with a variety of community agencies in the Nassau, Suffolk and greater New York metropolitan area.
