Nursing Student Onboarding information and instructions content

Attention Student Coordinators: Clinical Student Placement request forms must be completed for each student and faculty for every rotation by the School Coordinators as soon as students are assigned to an approved rotation in ACEMAPP at least 4 weeks prior to their scheduled student orientation date. If these are received late, student orientation as well as placement start date may be delayed.

In person Nursing Student Orientation is required and availability is very limited. School Coordinators should contact clinical.students@tuality.org as soon as possible after a rotation is approved (even if a specific student is not yet assigned) to schedule their students for in-person orientation. Please communicate this in-person orientation date with the students at or very soon after it is determined that they will be assigned to that rotation. Rescheduling orientation for any reason may result in a delayed placement start date.

DUO Mobile is now required in order for students to complete student onboarding off site. Please inform students that they will be sent a link via text message to the phone number listed on the HMC placement request form from OHSU to set up their DUO access. They must download the DUO app on that phone and click the link within 24hours before it expires. Should the link expire, they will need to contact the IT department at 503-681-1097. This is likely to cause delays in their ability to set up their accounts remotely which could delay onboarding, student orientation, and/or their requested placement start date. DUO Instructions

Please email the student’s school photo or a suitable photo to be used for their Hillsboro Medical Center Identification Badge as soon as possible but at least one week prior to their scheduled student orientation. The photo should be from the shoulders up, in front of a blank background, looking straight ahead just like a passport photo.

Please ensure your organization's affiliation agreement and certificate of insurance are up to date. Please allow a minimum of 6weeks for affiliation agreement renewals. Ensure Students meet the OAR requirements for health profession student clinical training. OAR Clinical Training Administrative Requirements
