All students admitted to the School of Nursing and Health Studies’ (SONHS) nursing programs must successfully complete a set of clinical clearance requirements prior to beginning their nursing coursework. For undergraduates in the Traditional BSN program, these criteria must be met prior to beginning clinical coursework. Students admitted to the Accelerated BSN or graduate programs must complete these requirements prior to their first day of classes.
Matriculation into nursing coursework is contingent upon students’ successful completion of all clinical clearance requirements. Once enrolled, students are expected to remain current and in good standing on all required immunizations, certifications, and licensures in order to meet the requirements set forth by our clinical partners.
The SONHS uses American DataBank’s Complio system to facilitate the clinical clearance process. Please read the information below to learn how you can complete and maintain your clinical clearance.

Our clinical clearance requirements include four main areas:
1) Background Checks: This includes two fingerprint screenings that provide information from various agency reports, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Agency for Health Care Administration Background Screening (AHCA), Office of the Inspector General (OIG), General Services Administration (GSA), and Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), among others
