Clinical Clearance Requirements, Organized Before Rotation Starts
Nursing programs and clinical sites may ask for vaccine records, titers, TB testing, drug screening, and fit testing. BlueHive helps coordinate the services your program orders.
Common Questions & Answers
Here are the things employees like you want to know — and straight answers.
I do not know which vaccines my nursing program will accept
Follow the current checklist from your school or clinical site. Commonly requested items include MMR, varicella, hepatitis B, Tdap, influenza, and sometimes COVID-19 documentation, but requirements are not universal.
A checklist based on your actual program instead of a generic list
My vaccine records are old or incomplete
Programs may accept prior records if they meet documentation rules. If records are missing or not accepted, your program may ask for titers, additional doses, or provider documentation.
A clear path to resolve missing or rejected records
I need a TB test before clinicals
CDC describes two TB infection test types: TB blood tests and TB skin tests. Your school or clinical partner decides which test type and timing they accept.
The right TB service coordinated for your program requirements
Who decides whether I am cleared for clinical rotation?
Your nursing program, clinical partner, or designated reviewer makes the final clearance decision. BlueHive helps coordinate ordered services and records, but does not replace the school's review process.
