Scripps Health Student Placement Process



Step 1: Affiliation Agreement with Scripps Health

If your school does not have an affiliation agreement, please contact us to inquire. If your school has an affiliation agreement, proceed to Step 2.



Step 2: Submit a Student Placement Request via your Complio account through AmericanDataBank

Student placement requests are reviewed on a semester by semester basis.

For more information regarding deadlines for placement request submissions, please visit the San Diego Consortium website: http://sdnsec.org/


How to Submit the Request:

All requests must be made using the Complio service by AmericanDataBank. Partner schools are required to maintain a Complio account through which all requests will be submitted. Contacting potential preceptors and managers for placements is NOT permitted for undergraduate placements. Requests that circumvent the Complio request process will not be approved.

Breakdown of Request Process:

  1. Your school will submit a placement request for you in the Complio service.

·         This step must be completed by a school representative

  1. Once the placement request is entered the status of the request will be "Pending".
  2. Scripps Student Placements will review the request and contact the requested site and department for final determination.
  3. If the request is approved, Scripps Student Placements will update the request’s status to "Approved".
  4. An email notification from Complio is sent to the School with the updated approval status.

  •If the request is not approved, a rejection email is sent to the School with the rejection notification.

 

*For details on establishing an account with Complio or for troubleshooting and questions, please contact American Data Bank at 1-800-200-0853 or support@americandatabank.com.

 

Step 3: Submit Student Placement Clearance Requirements in Complio

Per the affiliation agreement, clearance requirements must be completed prior to the start of the rotation. These requirements are due at least three weeks prior to the rotation start date. Scripps uses Complio to manage and track these requirements. All students, even if the students are employees of Scripps Health, are required to complete and submit all requirements in Complio.


Overview of Clearance Requirements*:

 

** Applies to students and instructors participating in patient care only

 

 

Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR): acceptable proof is any one of the following:

*Requirements are subject to change.

For this process, please note:

The school administrator will need to create a rotation and add the student(s) to the rotation. Once created, an email with instructions is automatically sent to the student(s) to complete and upload each requirement. Once the student completes the requirements, the school administrator shares the rotation profile with Student Placements via the “Share” function. If you need training on this process, please contact Complio at 1-800-200-0853 or support@americandatabank.com.

Rotation Information

Student and Instructor Conduct:



Scripps Corporate ID (CID):

Student Placements will request a CID for the student(s) and instructor after requirements are received and approved through Complio. The CID is a unique six-digit Scripps identifier that is used to grant computer and badge access.



Computer Access:

For rotations that require specialized computer applications, the instructor will also receive login information for these applications from Student Placements via email; no additional training is required for these applications.



Epic Access:

Epic is the electronic medical record used at Scripps. To receive access to Epic, students and instructors are required to complete Epic training videos. This training consists of several discipline specific videos. Student Placements will send the instructor or preceptor instructions on how to access the Epic training videos with the rest of your student access.

**NOTE: Epic access is not granted instantaneously, and can take several business days to activate upon the completion of your mandatory training modules.

Badges:

Students and instructors are required to have Scripps badges for their rotations. The badge request form and instructions will be sent from Student Placements via email to your instructor or preceptor in your access email prior to the start of your placement.

Badge forms must be printed and signed, then taken to Security at any of the Scripps hospital locations to receive a badge. Badges must be obtained before or first thing on your first day onsite.

In addition to the “Clearance Requirements in Complio” above that must be completed by all students and instructors, instructors may also be asked to:

 

New or Returning Nursing Instructors – Additional Requirements

 

Nursing instructors who have not attended a rotation at Scripps Health in 12 months are considered returning instructors.

All new and returning Nursing Instructors who will be onsite with students must attend Mandatory Skills Validation, and submit their certificate of completion in Complio. Please contact Student Placements to schedule a date for Skills Validation. This must be completed prior to the start of the placement.

            *Because available dates for Skills Validation is limited, we advise all incoming new and returning instructors to please reach out as soon as possible to arrange this step and avoid potential delays to the rotation start date.

These modules must be viewed prior to attending Skills Validation.

 

Continuing Instructors – Additional Requirements

Nursing instructors who have had a placement at Scripps Health in the last 12 months attending rotations with students are required to maintain their requirements and provide updated documentation if requirements expire.

 

Glucometer Access:

Nursing instructors must revalidate their glucometer point of care testing annually. If you need to revalidate this point of care testing, then please complete the below eCourse, and contact the unit manager the first day of the placement to be revalidated by the unit validator. Once the instructor Is signed off, access to the glucometer will be reactivated.
