Clinical Requirements

The richness of the BN program is built upon our close connection with rural communities. Consequently, travel outside Lethbridge will be expected for clinical practice and students must incur the cost of this travel.

Newly admitted students must provide the following documents by Orientation Day of the first year:

1. A specific schedule of immunization (forms will be provided by the Clinical Placement Office). Immunizations must be renewed as required in each year of the program.

2. Evidence of a current CPR-HCP (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation at the Health Care Provider Level) certificate. Students must have current CPR-HCP certification before entering a clinical setting.

3. Current criminal record check (or equivalent). Renewal of a criminal record check may be required at the discretion of faculty or staff of partnering agencies.
