Re: OSHA (Blood Borne
Pathogens and Standard Precautions)/HIPAA Training for students registered for
undergraduate nursing clinical courses in fall 2007
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
The
BS Committee in May 2007 revised the procedures for assessing student competence
in OSHA- Blood Borne Pathogens and Standard Precautions knowledge and HIPAA
knowledge.
Starting summer 2007,
students will access the MANDATORY OSHA/HIPAA training modules on the CNHS
website. Unlike in years passed, you will not have to come to the University of
Massachusetts to complete in this training. This training is a
requirement for you to complete before entering your clinical
rotation. Please return 2 answer sheets
only (one for the Blood Borne Pathogens/Standard Precaution and one
for HIPAA) no later than August 23rd. If this
requirement is not fulfilled, your name will be removed from the final clinical
placement roster for the fall 2007.
Please contact Heidi Wallace
at heidi.wallace@umb.edu with any
questions. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
