July 31st
is the deadline for submitting updated health and BLS information to the Nursing program each year.
Registration cards will be held for ALL students pending completion of their immunization records each year. Pick-up cards in person in OE-102.
Your PPD results (read date) and your BLS certification date is only valid for ONE year.
(Yes, we know your BLS card may indicate it is valid for 2 years,
BUT for the clinical locations, this must be renewed EVERY year.)
Renew your PPD (TB) SKIN-TEST and BLS so they will not expire before the end of the next Winter's semester ending date.
To be safe, be sure to renew AFTER May 15th each year.
Where to get your TB test
Where to get your BLS CERTIFICATION
Helpful Hint: When you get your new year's calendar, turn to May and schedule an appointment
for your TB test and BLS recertification.
July 31st is the deadline,
but please try to turn your information in earlier to avoid the last minute rush.

Be sure to bring COPIES of your PPD SKIN-TEST results and BLS card. NO copies will be made in OE-102. Copy machines are available in the Student Center.
