Prior to working in the hospital, we need to know if you have been fit tested for a N95 mask in the last 12 months and if so, was that at St Vincent’s or another hospital. We need to know the particular hospital where you were tested as each hospital does use certain types of masks-they may not all be the same. Therefore, can you please inform us about your fit testing status and forward us the certificate as soon as possible.
For those of you who have never been fit tested or have an expired assessment, we will have to arrange a test for you prior to commencing work in your allocated clinical area during Orientation week.
Please complete the Onboarding & Orientation Form prior to commencement.
Prior to commencing your graduate year, you must complete a number of our hospital online competencies. The competencies listed below are required to be completed prior to your commencement date if possible.
