STUDENT CLINICAL PORTFOLIO

Each student will need to develop and maintain several items for their clinical portfolio.  On occasion a clinical site will request to see this information.  These forms are required by the contracts that the School of Nursing maintains with each agency for student clinical experiences.  Please follow the directions listed below.

Clinical Orientation Competency Exam: - all students need to complete this program annually on the computer at the following web site.  Read through each section and take the exam located in the appendix.  A 90% is needed to pass (unnecessary to repeat to get 100%) and the program will print your certificate.  Please place your copy this certificate in your clinical portfolio.  Students who have received this training at KU Med or another agency are not exempt from this requirement.

Clinical Forms – The link below contains two forms.  You will need to complete both forms and bring them to the first day of class for each clinical course.  On the Student Clinical Requirements form, fill in the appropriate date for each item on the list.  For the color blindness screen, you may go to the clinical learning lab at the SON and one of the GTAs will administer.  You may leave drug screen and felony statement blank.  Clinical faculty will inform you if these are required for your assigned clinical site.  Currently none of the N811 clinical sites have this requirement.  The bottom portion (Orientation/training) refers to the Clinical Orientation Competency Exam referenced above.  For this item, list the date you passed the exam and printed your certificate.  An on-line training module will be available soon for the HIPAA training for all KU students.  Meanwhile leave that item blank.  Next print, read, and sign the Confidentiality Statement.  Place both forms in your portfolio and take to each clinical experience.  Your clinical site may ask for parts of this information.  For example a current TB skin test is commonly asked. 

Clinical forms

BLS - All students are expected to maintain BLS affirmations (CPR) while in school. 

RN License – for potential clinical placements, all students that live in the metropolitan Kansas City area are required to be licensed both Kansas and Missouri for the duration of the program.  Students who live in the Lawrence-Topeka area must be licensed in Kansas, as you will not be expected to drive to Missouri for clinical experiences. Please complete the necessary applications for licensure so that your are licensed prior to starting your clinical experiences.

Nurse midwifery students must possess both a Kansas and Missouri RN license prior to beginning any Nurse midwifery clinical track coursework.

Sharon Buchanan, Administrative Specialist Academic Affairs (913-588-3390), needs to have a copy for KU SON records.  Bring a copy of each license and a copy of your BLS card to the first day of N811 class, or fax your copies to the attention of Sharon Buchanan at 913-588-1660. If you obtain any of these items after the first day of class, please submit copies to the reception area in 2015 SON.
