We use CastleBranch to document and track immunization records, drug screenings, and more. The drug screen, BON, and physical exam are required after you are accepted into the program.

SJC IMMUNIZATION STATEMENT
Students enrolling into San Jacinto College programs with external learning experiences (i.e., clinical, practicum, externship, cooperative, etc.) will be required to comply with the immunization requirements and policies of the clinical/external learning sites to engage in all clinical/external learning experiences. Vaccination requirements at clinical/external learning sites are implemented pursuant to the independent authority of such facilities and are not mandated by San Jacinto College. Failure to meet the immunization requirements mandated by clinical/external learning sites may limit a student’s ability to complete the program and/or may delay the student’s graduation date. San Jacinto College does not process exemptions, and students should address potential vaccination exemptions directly with the clinical/external learning site.
We also use CastleBranch for our background checks and drug screenings. You must have a clear criminal background to be eligible for a nursing license. If you have an issue in attaining your license, you can file a Declaratory Order. Declaratory orders allow the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) to make a decision on your eligibility before you enter a nursing program. Please note:
The drug screen, BON, and physical exam are required after you are accepted into the program. You will receive information about these screenings once you’ve been accepted. You may schedule the exam with a private physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. Just make sure you use the forms the ADN program provides.
The exam:
You must have health insurance when you are accepted into the ADN program, and maintain your insurance without lapses throughout the program. The Gold Card does not count as health insurance.
San Jac doesn’t participate in a specific College-sponsored health insurance plan. You may obtain insurance through private companies. Compare companies and study the terms of their policies before buying coverage. We are offering the following providers as a resource only, not as an endorsement:
We’re glad that you have chosen to be a part of our college community, and we’re committed to supporting your success.

Please be aware that failure to maintain these standards may result in dismissal from the College. This decision may be recommended by the department chair and/or nursing facility. You can find out more about our codes of conduct in:
