Student Handbook
The Nursing Student Handbook, (with BSN Supplement, MSN Supplement, and DNP Supplement) has been written to provide the student with information specific to the curriculum, SHS — Nursing policies and procedures, campus facilities, and resources.
Typhon
Students in a nursing program at SPU subscribe to a service provided by Typhon Group, LLC during their internship or practicum experience. Typhon functions as a complete electronic student tracking system, including patient encounter logs, evaluations for assessment, student rotation scheduling, student, preceptor, and clinical site databases.
Graduate Students: Login to the NPST Typhon System as a Student.
Undergraduate Students: Login to the NSST Typhon System as a Student.
COVID-19 Vaccine
Enrolled nursing program students must be fully COVID-19 vaccinated at least 4 weeks prior to entering the program. Fully vaccinated means receipt of the COVID-19 vaccine primary series and the most recent booster dose recommended by the CDC.
A significant portion of the learning experience is in clinical practice with regional health care organizations that require practicing students to be fully vaccinated in order to be on-site for clinical experiences, we must adhere to their requirements. COVID-19 vaccinations continue to evolve, and nursing students will be informed of the most current expectations.
While SPU does grant medical and religious medical exemptions for the general population of students, the nursing program does require the most recent COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.
