Clinical Coordinators will visit the Clinical Agency section to update agency
(e.g., hospital) information; add, edit and remove clinical units
available for clinical placement; create and
edit unit availability, review and respond to placement requests and manage
other agency information. ("Grayed-out" words will indicate functions
that you do not have the appropriate permissions to use.)
Typically, Clinical
Coordinators will use CCPS by working down the list of menu options on the
left. The steps include:
Step 1:
Click on 'Work with Unit Locations' to add, edit or remove units that are available
for clinical placement. Click on 'Add New Units' or 'Edit Unit Locations' to add
or edit the clincial units that you have available for nursing student clinical placement. Click on 'Remove Units' to remove units that are no longer available
for placements. Clinical Coordinators may also click on the List Clinical Units
report icon to view a complete listing of all the Clinical Units they have created
for their loaction.
Step 2:
Click on 'Work with Unit Schedules' to set up default availability (24 hours per day,
7 days per week) for your units.
This default may be modified clicking the 'Edit Unit Schedules' link. The 'View Unit Schedules' link
will provide a color-coded view of the current state of availability
- where the unit is open, already scheduled, or requested. Clinical Coordinators may also
click on the Unit Schedule report icon to view a complete listing of all the Unit
Schedules they have created for their location.
Step 3:
Click on 'Work with Clinical
Placement Requests' to review, accept, or decline proposals from schools seeking
placement at your facility. Click on 'View Placement
Requests' to view and respond to your requests sorted by department, or you can
click on the 'Placement Request Summary' link to view and respond to all your requests
in a single view. Clinical Coordinators may also click on the Placement Calendar
Report icon to display a calendar view of all the Proposed and Accepted schedules
for their location.
Note: The reports that
are available within each of the steps above have been created
to assist coordinators in reviewing the information within CCPS. All lists and reports are accessible
by any visitor to the site; no login is required.
