Masking and Visitation Changes: Due to high rates of respiratory illnesses in our community, we’ve made changes to our masking and visitation guidelines. Learn more.
We welcome nursing students in both undergraduate and graduate level programs.
If you are already enrolled in a nursing program affiliated with Seattle Children’s, review the onboarding steps below.
If you are a nursing student in a program not associated with Seattle Children’s and have a question, please email Nursing Professional Development.
Please do not save documents. Always use this site to make sure you have the most up-to-date information.
Since fall 2023, Seattle Children's has partnered with Clinical Placements Northwest (CPNW).
Those that are not part of CPNW will only follow the Seattle Children's steps on the flowchart.
If you have been accepted into the program, follow the steps below.
It is the faculty/school’s responsibility to assist with students’ onboarding process and ensure all requirements have been met. Please refer to the Undergraduate Nursing Students policy #11101.
The school will email Seattle Children’s Nursing Schools the completed student upload sheet no less than 30 days prior to the first day students will be on campus. All faculty, clinical rotation and senior practicum students should be listed on a single upload sheet. Seattle Children’s Nursing Schools will process the spreadsheet by sending it to Human Resources (Non-Employee Admin).
Skip if your school is not part of CPNW.
The school will use their CPNW profile and request the appropriate school and program code. The school coordinator will send the access code and registration instructions to students/faculty.
Questions about CPNW can be sent to [email protected].
The school will send students/faculty the Seattle Children's Respiratory Clearance Form for completion. The school will have access to the survey responses to approve or deny the student’s access to rooms that require the use of a CAPR. Schools will inform the student/faculty member if they are not approved. The approver should not be a faculty member facilitating in the quarter/semester.
School will review CPNW onboarding for students/faculty. Once completed, the Seattle Children's coordinator will review for final approval of the student/faculty profiles.
After the student’s assignment has been approved, account provisioning will set up the student’s network access. Two separate emails will be sent: one for their user ID and one for their temporary password. Students will be able to access our computer systems, including Grow@SC (learning management system), only after they have been given user IDs.
At this time we are only accepting graduate students and RN to BSN students currently working at Seattle Children's. We apologize for the inconvenience.
