Haywood Regional Medical Center Background Checks

If you are attending a clinical rotation at Haywood Regional Medical Center in the spring, you need to complete their background check process before you return from the holiday break. If you have already submitted a background check in the past you DO NOT need to repeat the process at this time. To complete the process follow these instructions: The fee for the background check is $23.00, and can be ordered online. To order online, go to www.intellenet.netand click on [ENTER] to bring up login screen, then enter the following codes: Company ID = mednet User ID = RegionA Password = ak843nkx and double click [Login]. Enter information for previous 7 years into the form; enter credit card information and click [Submit] button. Note that amount is automatically set at $23.00. If no entry errors are found, a Card Processing screen appears. Please verify card information and click [Process] button only once. At this point a charge of $23.00 to your card will be submitted. If card is accepted, an Application Confirmation screen appears. Click on Print Application in the Confirmation box for a hardcopy of this transaction for your records. For security of your personal information, you MUST LOGOUT upon completion. Thanks Wendy Hines, RN, MSN

Uniforms for Precepting in NUR 235

You are expected to wear your Region A uniform when precepting in NUR 235 in the Spring 2008. You are to wear your uniform anytime that you are representing Region A. Thanks Amy

Uniforms for Spring

I have had several students request the name and contact information of our uniform company. We use Castle Uniforms for our orders. Their contact number is 1-800-982-9860 or you may use their website: http://www.castleuniforms.com/. You will need to tell the company that you are a student in Region A Nursing Consortium to be able to order. Remember that the Region A uniform is the white dress uniform shirt and blue pants. Students may not wear the Region A polo's to an acute care clinical rotation. Our uniforms are a custom order and take 6 weeks for delivery, so please order soon to be ready for spring clinicals. If you have additional questions regarding uniforms please contact me. Wendy Hines, RN, MSN

Community Final

I have received some questions regarding the community final. I would like to clarify any information you may have heard. The community finals will not be the same test at all three schools due to each school covering different subject areas since the mid-term. The tests will all consist of 50 multiple-choice questions that will cover the topics your class has studied since the mid-term. If you did not use your notes on the mid-term you will be able to use any notes that you have taken in class or through your own studying of the objectives during the test. If your class used notes on the mid-term then you will not be able to use notes on the final. If you have additional questions please speak with your instructor. Wendy Hines RN, MSN
