Requirements: Scrubs are required for work at the clinical sites. Students may choose, but are not required, to purchase a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. Prior to employment, students must be able to pass a criminal background check.

Clinicals: As part of the nursing assistant program, students will participate in clinicals. These clinicals will provide the hands-on training that is needed to succeed in the workforce. The following information applies:

• You must complete a minimum of 24 hours of “hands-on” in the care centers under the supervision of a clinical instructor.
• To present yourself as a professional during clinicals, the student is required to wear scrubs, closed-toe shoes (white, black, or grey), and a watch with a second hand. No jewelry will be permitted otherwise.
• Long nails, excessive make-up, and/or perfume are not permitted.

Information Technology:
A Chrome book is offered in some programs. If one is not available, the student can use the UBTech Computer Lab or bring their own internet-capable device for educational use in class.
Electronic Student Resources:
Canvas orientation course contains electronic learning resources that can be used throughout your time in the program. Each canvas course links to these resources, and they will be updated regularly.
Canvas:
Canvas can be accessed from any internet-connected computer at the following URL: https://ubtech.instructure.com/login.
For technical problems encountered while in Canvas, use the Help button in Canvas and the “Report a Problem” link. Response time on support requests will be no more than 24-hours within the operational schedule of the program. A general orientation to Canvas can be found in the New Student Orientation, but faculty will also offer an orientation specific to technology in your program on your first day of class.
