A current Florida RN or compact license and professional liability insurance for practicum for MSN students are required.
All nursing students must have current CPR certification before entering the clinical areas. Students pursuing the Healthcare Administration tract must also have a current CPR certification. The SMU personnel may be able to schedule a CPR certification class for students upon the students’ inquiry and request. However, if a certification class cannot be scheduled (or a student cannot attend), the student is responsible for obtaining CPR certification (Basic Life Support) within their community. CPR certification renewals are the responsibility of the student.
Major Medical/Hospitalization/Malpractice Insurance. All students must have major medical/hospitalization insurance (student health fees cover only routine health services). Students may opt to purchase Major Medical/hospitalization coverage through SMU. MSN Students will not be allowed in the clinical setting without their Malpractice Insurance. The student who does not maintain or cancel their major medical/hospitalization insurance will not be allowed to continue until such is obtained.
FNP students will be required to complete a certification review before their application is validated for the national certification examination.
Health Screenings – SMU is required to send reports of immunizations and health-screening tests to clinical agencies where students will practice, and these tests must reach the clinical agency before the student is allowed to practice. Students who do not have current and reported CPR certifications, immunizations, health screening tests, and health insurance will not be allowed in the clinical areas, and the days missed will be counted as clinical absences. Clinical absences can impact the fulfillment of the clinical course objectives.
Background Screenings – All students must submit information and fingerprints for background screening as a requirement for clinical placement at healthcare facilities. Students with an arrest history must disclose such history to the Dean of the SMU, who will inform the Board of Nursing. Students must disclose arrests made before and after admission to SMU. The State performs background checks on applications for licensure and advanced certification. Failure to disclose can result in a required appearance before the Board of Nursing and a significant delay (or possible denial) of a nursing license or advanced certification.
Professional Attire – No jeans, sweatpants, shorts, or t-shirts as outer garments. Students are expected to have 100% attendance for all practicum experiences. FNP students will wear a long lab coat with the SMU logo over professional attire and their student ID badge. A background check(s), BLS, and current immunizations are required. *Refer to the Preceptor Handbook for further requirements
