Professional Requirements

To protect the health of all North Country Community College members and the patients you serve, the college and our clinical partners require students to fulfill certain professional and health requirements.

Refer to your student Exxat account for individual progress in reaching compliance.

All nursing students are expected to submit their health records and professional requirements, with a completed Nursing Requirements Checklist, to the NCCC Nursing Program via the Exxat clinical tracking program. Students are required to keep a copy of all materials submitted for their own records.

Traditional ADN and LPN students: Please contact Mrs. Emma Atkinson, Clinical Coordinator/Clinical Instructor, with any questions: eatkinson@nccc.edu

Weekend/Evening Hybrid Students: Please contact Mrs. Courtney Roy-Church, Weekend Evening Clinical Coordinator, with any questions: croy@nccc.edu

CPR REQUIREMENTS FOR NURSING STUDENTS:

All practical nurse and registered nurse students must have a current CPR certification. Failure to maintain current certification may result in loss of scheduled clinical experience.

The only accepted courses are:

American Heart Association: BLS for the Healthcare Provider, RQI BLS, and HSI BLS

Red Cross: CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Healthcare Provider

*No online only CPR courses will be accepted; it is a requirement that they include in person, hands on skills testing. If you have questions on if your CPR/BLS will be accepted, please email the clinical coordinator.

STUDENT PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE:

All students admitted to the nursing programs are required to provide proof of student nurse professional liability insurance in the amounts of: $1,000,000.00 for each claim and $6,000,000.00 aggregate and maintain coverage for the length of the program.

Professional liability insurance can be obtained from the Nurses Service Organization. Please contact NSO at www.nso.com. Once purchased, you must provide a copy of the Certificate of Insurance (an email with the certificate will be sent 24 hours after payment). Proof of payment alone will not satisfy this requirement. If you are under the age of 18, you will need to request a paper application.
