BSN Clinical Compliance Requirements

For students conditionally accepted into the Concordia University Texas BSN Program, there are clinical compliance requirements that must be met in order to participate in the program.

Enrollment in the Clinical Student System

All compliance requirements must be complete and all documentation completed prior to the start of the semester. If a requirement is not complete, students may not start nursing courses. To ensure and track compliance for the Concordia University Texas BSN Program and clinical partners, Clinical Student / System 32 (Clinical Student) is the required electronic manager of compliance files for each nursing student. Students are automatically enrolled in Clinical Student upon conditional acceptance to the program.

Review and update records through Clinical Student

All nursing students are responsible for remaining current and up to date with all compliance items throughout the nursing program. If students are not in compliance at any time, they cannot attend any clinical practicum experience, and this may jeopardize their ability to start and/or participate in the nursing program. If for any reason a required immunization is contraindicated, the student is required to present a record from a health care provider indicating the circumstances.

The below information regarding clinical requirements is reflected in Clinical Student, but also provided here for reference and preparation for enrollment in the BSN Program. All costs associated with all items is the responsibility of the student. Please be aware that compliance requirements could change at any time based on agreements with our clinical partners. Additional costs will be the responsibility of the student.

Clinical Student Setup
- CTX will establish an account in Clinical Student for the student.
- The student will receive initial login information via email from a System32 email address. This process will take time and is not automatic. Please be patient and check email including junk/spam for this information.
- The student will use their login information to set up their Clinical Student account as soon as the student gets the email notification.
- Once log in information for Clinical Student access is received, the student will use their login information to set up their Clinical Student account as soon as the student gets the email notification.
- The process of uploading documents and obtaining any required compliance items takes time, so do not delay starting this process.
- The student is responsible for uploading documents to their Clinical Student account.
- The student will pay for their Clinical Student account. The cost for the Clinical Student / System32 account is approximately $190.00. Additional charges may apply for a background check, drug screens, or other items.
- Begin uploading all documentation as soon as it is available.

Health Insurance

Student must have health insurance throughout the nursing program, with documentation no older than 30 days from the start of the semester.
Student must upload proof of health insurance enrollment, such as a summary of coverage with their information and policy number, or upload front and back of their insurance card.
Insurance coverage must include emergency room visits.
CTX does not have preferred insurance providers. Research thoroughly to find the best coverage and premium for the student.
Plans that renew month-to-month will not be accepted. Plans must show coverage throughout the nursing program semester.

Clinical Student / System 32 Background Check

Clinical partners require additional screening beyond that provided by the Texas BON.
This screening is specifically outlined and covered within your Clinical Student / System 32 account.
Hospitals require an additional background screening that includes employment history, professional disciplinary action, and other disciplinary actions that may have occurred.
This is in addition to the criminal background screening required by the Texas BON and is not optional; no other background checking services will be accepted.

Drug Screening

Drug screens must be completed no sooner than 30 days and no later than 15 days prior to the compliance deadline. Check in Clinical Student or with your counselor for your specific screening period and deadline.
Clinical Student provides a drug screen order. The dates on the order show how long the order is active, but do not align with the eligible window of accepted results.
Results will be sent directly to Clinical Student for approval when the student submits their sample.
Clinical Student must show results as accepted and completed before the compliance upload deadline.
Any student that has an interrupted enrollment will be required to complete a drug screen prior to readmission to the nursing program. An interruption in enrollment is defined as not being continuously enrolled in a nursing course. The cost of drug screening is the responsibility of the student.
A positive drug screen is any instance in which a drug screen report shows a positive test for one or more of the drugs on the panel. Any student may be required to have additional screening at any time. A student who has a positive drug screen, for which there is not a lawful prescription, will not be given placement in any clinical facility and will be dismissed from the program immediately.
