Leslie and Irene Dubé School of Nursing and School of Health Sciences students are expected to meet Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s clinical clearance requirements before being permitted into a clinical/practicum setting.
Step 1: Blood work
Immediately upon acceptance to your program, book an appointment with your family physician, nurse practitioner, or visit a walk-in-clinic.
Ask for the following applicable blood test(s) to be completed:
| Hepatitis B Surface Antibody | Regardless of your immunization history. |
| Varicella IgG | If your immunization record shows two doses of varicella vaccine (VAR) you do not need this test. |
| Measles IgG | Only required if you do not have official documentation of your immunization history and/or you were immunized outside of Canada. |
| Mumps IgG | Only required if you do not have official documentation of your immunization history and/or you were immunized outside of Canada. |
| Rubella IgG | Only required if you do not have official documentation of your immunization history and/or you were immunized outside of Canada. |
Step 2: Review by student health nurse
The student health nurse will review your blood work results and immunization history online at eHealth Saskatchewan.
Health nurses are only authorized to access eHealth information that directly pertains to the requirements for the clinical portion of your program. (e.g., Immunization records, hepatitis B, varicella, measles, mumps, rubella lab results, and chest x-ray results).
If you do not want the student health nurse to access your eHealth account, please email the appropriate student health nurse.
If you have received immunizations outside of Saskatchewan (including international students) and you have official documentation, please submit your documentation immediately upon acceptance into your program via email.
Email student health nurse
Please include your first and last name, program, Sask Polytech student number (starts with “000”) in the subject line of your email.

Step 3: Appointment with student health nurse
The booking process may vary depending on your location and program. Your local student health nurse and/or your program will inform you of the appropriate process for booking an appointment with the student health nurse. Your appointment will be scheduled prior to your practicum start date.
