I am also interested in how students are being cleared at your facilities.  What are your requirements and how are you handling student records?

Thank you so much, these are students that will be coming into the facility for their clinical practice? Our New Hires we follow the practice below -- just wondering  what others were doing with their students.

We require a recent TB test within 6 weeks of the hire date.  We typically will conduct a 2-step TB test (they're cheap), but we also have the option of Quanteferon for certain circumstances.
