**There are two platforms integrated together that you will need to pay close attention to: ASSURE & ACEMAPP **

Congratulations and Welcome to our new incoming Bridge students who will start the GTC-ADN program on March 10, 2025! 

On behalf of the Gwinnett Technical College Nursing Science Division, we welcome you to the ADN Bridge Nursing program. I am Jomi Praveen, the clinical instructor for the ADN program, and I am here to guide you through the program's clinical component. We are here for your success, and if you have any questions throughout the credentialing process, please feel free to ask. 

Firstly, I will be introducing you to ACEMAPP. ACEMAPP is an electronic credentialing system used to clear you for clinical participation.

Note: If you have an active ACEMAPP account with another entity, please fill out this form: Existing Account ACEMAPP FORM Deadline: March 19th within 48 hours (about two (2) days) to let me know to avoid a duplicate account.

Action: Add your name to the electronic form above ASAP. Go to your old ACEMAPP account and update your email with your student GTC email. Do this via the profile page. After completing this form, and a success update, please email me to inform me that your account has been successfully updated. Also, please get in touch with ACEMAPP before emailing me to ensure this has been completed successfully.

Secondly, the clinical component is a vital part of the nursing curriculum. We will be utilizing the ASSURE platform within ACEMAPP for credentialing and managing your clinical requirements.

ACEMAPP Assure is a professional document review service designed to streamline the credentialing process for students and faculty. Here’s how it works:

*Email Verification and Login**: You will receive an email to verify your email address and set your password. Once verified, you can log in to your ACEMAPP account. Profile Completion**: Your profile must be completed by March 22 and kept up-to-date to ensure compliance. This includes filling in all required fields and updating any necessary information.

Uploading Documents: ASSURE required documents to be completed before clinicals. You will need to upload and manage clinical required documents on your Assure member home page within the Requirements. You will be notified by ASSURE about the clinical requirements.

Compliance Check: Your compliance with Assure requirements will be displayed on your home page.

Each student must upload the required clinical Documentation in ASSURE before April 10, 2025. 

Students will have access to the ACEMAPP system by April 15. You will need to upload some other clinical site requirements like exemptions, TB sreenings, training modules (Not listed in ASSURE requirements)
Suppose the Credentialing Staff cannot clear you by the required clinical deadline due to your failure to comply with the submission/upload of the correct documents to the proper location. In that case, you will not successfully complete the clinical portion of the course. This delay in your action or no action will result in your withdrawing from the program. 

Important Policy to Review: Please review the policy in your Student handbook 2025-2026-pgs 37-38. "Credentialing Student and Missing Deadline"

Once you receive the email invite from ACEMAPP, you will have 48 hours (about 2 days) to complete your initial registration. ACEMAPP will alert the clinical instructor once you have registered. You will start to upload documents ASAP (the deadline to have you cleared is by April 27), and then once assigned to a specific rotation, you will quickly complete facility-specific requirements and any additional uploads. Please review the "All Clinical Requirement" tab on the ACEMAPP GTC page and choose your specific facility to review all the clinical documents you must upload or complete. Also, please review the "Clinical Deadline" tab.
  All documents must be uploaded to ACEMAPP. All Documentation must be legible and in PDF format. Your first and last name must be the same on all documents. If not, please submit additional Documentation, such as a copy of your marriage license or birth certificate. 

Finally, let's recap: please respond to this email within 48 hours and inform me if you have an ACEMAPP account or not. Make sure you look for your ACEMAPP registration email within the next week. Set up your account as soon as you get the email.

Let's get ready for a strong beginning and an exciting year!
