2012 - 2013 catalog - Delta College

8. Full-time ADN track courses start each Fall and each Winter Semester with NUR 101AW. Part-time ADN Track courses start Fall semester only
(NPT 101AW) with the program running year round. See web site: www.delta.edu/nursing for more information. A student who designates their
ADN track of choice will remain in that track for validation. There will be some flexibility between tracks (Full-time or Part-time) once the student is
in the clinical sequence, but the student will need to go through the Nursing Re-Entry Review Board for approval based on the seating availability
(see Nursing Student Handbook: www.delta.edu/nursing).
9. Program-Entry Health Requirements: You must submit an up-to-date complete physical examination report to the Nursing Office prior to entrance
into the first clinical course. As a clinical student, you are required to have a TB skin test completed annually (A positive TB test will require a recent
chest x-ray). The physical examination must confirm that you are free from communicable disease and capable of performing all the duties necessary
for the safe care of patients. Proof of Hepatitis B vaccine immunization must be submitted with the physical exam form or you must submit a
signed waiver form. For persons born after 1957, documentation of immunization for MMR must be provided. Evidence of current (within ten years)
Tetanus immunization status is required. You must submit all up-to-date health requirements to the Nursing Discipline Office prior to entrance into
the first clinical course. CPR Training: You must have a CPR card, which must remain current throughout the clinical program. A photocopy of your
certificate must be turned in to the Nursing Discipline Office prior to the start of classes. The CPR certification must include one and two person
rescuer, child and infant rescuer, airway obstruction relief, and use of AED. Students with expired CPR certification, TB test, and/or physical exam
will not be allowed to attend clinical.
10. Any student with a previous or current felony/misdemeanor conviction must inform the Nursing Program Coordinator of said conviction. Students
should be aware that a felony/misdemeanor conviction may constitute grounds for ineligibility to sit for the Nursing Licensure examination. Students
should be aware that the current licensure application form now requires that a criminal background check requiring fingerprinting be completed.
Questions regarding licensure can be found at http://www.michigan.gov/healthlicense or be directed to the Michigan Board of Nursing at 517-335-
0918.
11. All entering nursing students must be fingerprinted as part of health care agency requirements and for the Michigan Nursing Scholarship. Students
will complete and sign a release form allowing Delta College Public Safety to complete a background check. Information about this process will be
provided to the student at orientation. Results of the background check will be secured and kept confidential, but may be shared with clinical agencies
when requested or as otherwise required by law. If results indicate a felony/misdemeanor conviction, the Nursing Program Coordinator will discuss
the findings and the process with the student. A felony/misdemeanor conviction may delay or end the student’s nursing education, delay graduation,
or change the curriculum from which the student may graduate.
12. If a student in good standing or granted reentry into the program has a period of inactivity within a program track that exceeds 18 months, the student
will need to revalidate for a program track and complete the entire clinical program.
13. A person can achieve PNE program completion if NUR/NPT 101A,NUR/NPT 101AL, NUR/NPT 101B, NUR/NPT 101BL, NUR/NPT 115, NUR/NPT
115L, NUR/NPT 116, NUR/NPT 116L, NUR/NPT 240, and NUR/NPT 240L are successfully completed.
