BSN Students: BSN Clinical Placements
Pre-Clinical Requirements

Swedish Medical Center

  • Prior to your clinical rotation at Swedish, you will need to complete an online orientation for students. Once your instructors have given you the go-ahead and told you which topics must be completed on InfoPort, please visit the following site:
    Your instructor will provide you with the user name and password.

    If you have any problems with the training or run into technical difficulties, please contact Karen Ogden at Swedish via Kathryn.Ogden@swedish.org or (206) 320-3108.


  • Bring a copy of your HIPAA completion to orientation. This will allow you to complete an abbreviated form of HIPAA education that focuses specifically on Swedish implementation of the regulation.


  • Please also complete Hazards Management Training, which can be found at http://www.ehs.washington.edu/psotrain/hazwaste/index.shtm.


Important Clinical Information for BSN Students

In order to help facilitate a positive learning environment for students, instructors and staff, please keep the following in mind when attending a clinical rotation at Swedish Medical Center:

  • Please review the Placement Protocol that the School of Nursing must follow when placing students at Swedish Medical Center.

  • Students must come in as a group to select patients for the next clinical day, avoiding multiple students coming in at different times of the day asking the charge nurse which patients to choose (which ultimately leads to the same questions being asked repeatedly).
  • Please avoid coming in during a change-of-shift, which occurs between 3 and 3:30pm. (Some units also have changes-of-shift between 7 and 7:30am or 7 and 7:30pm.)
  • It is expected that you will check with patients ahead of time and get their agreement to have a student care for them.
