RN to BSN Health Passport documents

Welcome to the Online RN to BSN degree program of Linfield College and the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing.

As you prepare to join the RN – BSN cohort with whom you will take the Linfield nursing courses, we want you to be aware of the documents that are required by the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing to be received prior to registration for nursing courses.

When admitted to the Nursing major and before registering for NURS 309, Transition to Professional Nursing, please complete the following:

1. Criminal Background Check
   1. Order a background check through www.certifiedbackground.com; use package code LI11. Instructions are linked here. You do not need to send a copy of the results to the college. Also available is an electronic storage for Linfield Students' medical records for a nominal fee with lifetime accessibility so documents will always be securely stored and accessible. Other services include reminders when a booster or renewal is due. Order a Medical Document Manager/Immunization Tracker through www.certifiedbackground.com; use package code LI11im.
      
      Note: You do not need to send a copy of the results to the college as authorized staff have access to the results online.
