• Print copies of the required observation form.
• Email Suzanne Lane (suzanne.lane@bellevuecollege.edu) with the clinic(s) that you are interested in visiting for your observation(s). She will email you with the details on documentation that is required for those hospitals/clinics. After you have returned all the required documentation to her, she will forward the documents to the clinic on your behalf.
• When you have been approved for observation, Suzanne will provide you with the appropriate contact information. You can then contact the clinic to arrange your observation time. Three hours is the maximum visit.
• Complete your observations before your first interview. Bring copies of the hospital observation forms with you to your interview.
• Documentation required for observations often includes (but is not limited to):
  • TB tests (2 within the last 12 months)
  • Tdap vaccine
  • MMR vaccine or positive titers
  • Varicella vaccine or positive titers
  • Current year flu immunization
  • Background check – if one is required, you can obtain a Washington State Patrol background check for a nominal fee. Save an electronic copy of your background check results for submission with your documentation (if required).
