INTRODUCTION TO THE CLINICAL RESOURCE GUIDE
Welcome as you embark upon this new journey as a nursing student in the Pre-licensure BSN Degree
Program. Clinical rotations will begin during the first semester of your junior year and will provide you
with the opportunity to learn and practice nursing skills. This Clinical Resource Guide provides you with
information and clinical requirements you need to complete before starting the first semester. To
participate and progress in clinicals, students must meet and maintain the necessary clinical
requirements. You need to start completing these requirements TODAY to ensure they are completed
on time. Students will NOT be allowed to participate in clinicals if ANY of the required documentation
is not completed by the dates specified in Appendix A & uploaded to your CastleBranch account.
CastleBranch
Our program uses CastleBranch services to ensure all students meet health care organizations, School
of Nursing, and university requirements for Illinois. You will need to purchase TWO (2) CastleBranch
packages, explained below. CastleBranch is a reputable, secure, online environment that the program
uses to record and track the documents necessary for participation in clinicals. All expenses incurred
for the background check, online document tracker, immunizations, physical examination, drug
screening and tuberculin (TB) tests are the responsibility of the student. These requirements include
the following:
• Background Check
• Fingerprinting
• Drug Screen
• Immunization/TB test Tracking
• Certificate of Health Examination
• Proof of Health Insurance
• CPR Certification
• Core Performance Standards
Each of these will be explained in some detail; however, we welcome your questions as they arise.
Requirements not documented in CastleBranch may be found under MISCELLANEOUS.
Establish a CastleBranch Account
1. Go to https://discover.castlebranch.com/
2. Click on place order.
3. Enter the Aurora University Package Code UR36
4. Agree to terms and conditions and click continue
5. Provide the necessary information (i.e. name, date of birth, etc.) needed to complete your

Additional steps are required for fingerprinting & the Drug Screen.
Accessing your Account
1. Go to https://discover.castlebranch.com/
2. Click on sign in, select MYCB
3. Log in using the email address you provided and password you created during order placement.
BACKGROUND CHECKS, FINGERPRINTING, AND DRUG SCREEN
Background Check
Your CastleBranch account is established when you place your first order for the Background Check
package. If you already have an account with CastleBranch from another school or organization, you
will still need to purchase the Aurora University packages, as they specifically match our requirements
and we cannot access accounts from other schools/organizations.
It is important to completely disclose all background information to the school and the healthcare
setting, even for crimes that have been expunged. Failure to fully disclose and accept accountability
may result in losing opportunities to participate in clinical. Any convictions found in your background
check will be reviewed by the School of Nursing and forwarded to the clinical site. Flagged background
checks will be reviewed individually; however, placement in clinical is not guaranteed. Each clinical
facility determines if a student may participate in clinical. For details about convictions that may impact
clinical placement, contact the School of Nursing at 630-844-5130.
Please note that CastleBranch will not process an Illinois Statewide Criminal Search
request before receiving the signed release form. The downloadable Illinois State
Police release form and Child Abuse release form will be provided online during the
ordering process. The applicant signed form can be faxed to 910.343.9731 or emailed
to expedite@castlebranch.com
Fingerprinting
All students are required to complete a fingerprint scan as part of the criteria for participating in clinical
at health care facilities in Illinois.
Additional Steps
1. Register at www.ibtfingerprint.com to complete fingerprint scan.
2. Select IL, select digital fingerprinting and access the online scheduling link.
3. Application category: select UCIA Applicant from the Agency Name drop down box.
4. Employer category: select Aurora University-Nursing from the Employer Name drop
down box.
5. Select your appointment day and time.
-4-6. Payment method - purchasing the package includes payment for fingerprinting, you will
receive the billing code within the tracker when you place your order-you do not pay the
fingerprint facility when scanned
7. Print and bring confirmation form and valid driver’s license to the appointment.
8. Email your TCN receipt to Angie Alvarez: aalvarez@aurora.edu
9. Results will be sent to Aurora University.
10. Eligibility for placement occurs AFTER fingerprint, background check & drug screen
results are received (may take 2-3 months).
Drug Screen
A cleared drug screen will be posted to your CastleBranch account. If there are any issues with the drug
test, CastleBranch will notify the student by email. The student will need to reach out to the MRO at 1-
800-526-9341, to discuss the results and ask the student to provide documentation showing they have
a prescription or had a procedure that would cause the results to show positive. After three (3) days
CastleBranch will release the results to the School of Nursing.
Additional Steps
1. Go to https://mycb.castlebranch.com, login to your MYCB account, and click on “To Do”
list. The drug screen should appear in your list after you establish your account &
purchase the Aurora University Package (see Establish a CastleBranch Account above).

screen form to one of the Quest Diagnostics laboratories listed on CastleBranch, for
specimen collection. Quest Diagnostics is the only acceptable laboratory that may be
used for screening.

4. Results will be sent to CastleBranch in 3-5 business days.
5. CastleBranch posts results to your account.
MEDICAL DOCUMENT MANAGER
Your required health information will need to be uploaded via Medical Document Manager (MDM) in
CastleBranch. They will verify that the documents meet Aurora University’s School of Nursing
requirements. If the documents do not, you will receive an email from CastleBranch. They will also
send you a reminder if any of your documents will be expiring and if there is anything else needed to
process the requirements. Your order will show as “In Process” until all requirements have been
uploaded and approved. You likely will not receive notification from the School of Nursing if any of
your documents are missing or incomplete, so it is imperative that you check your emails and access
your MYCB account regularly so that you are aware of all requirements that need attention. You are not
allowed to attend clinical with any expired requirements. The MDM is a separate package that you will
need to purchase & is where you will upload the following information:

information.
Immunizations
Students on clinical rotations in health care facilities are at higher risk than the general population for
acquiring communicable diseases. Any student who has one of these diseases may, in turn, infect other
personnel and clients/patients. Thus, healthcare facilities require evidence of immunization or natural
immunity against those diseases that can be prevented. Student name MUST be listed on all pages of
documents.
Documentation of receipt of the following immunizations must be completed by the dates specified
in Appendix A. See your progression in the program
Appendix B – Submitting Documents for instructions on how to upload immunization information.
A. Measles (Rubeola) – Titer to prove immunity. Report must include lab value with a
reference range. If negative (non-immune) or equivocal, repeat vaccine series per Center for
Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) for Healthcare Workers guidelines. If positive,
requirement is complete.

negative (non-immune) or equivocal, repeat vaccine series per CDC for Healthcare Workers
guidelines. If positive, requirement is complete.
D. Hepatitis B – Titer to prove immunity. Report must include lab value with a reference range.
If negative (non-immune) or equivocal, repeat vaccine series and repeat a titer in 1-2
months after dose #3 per CDC for Healthcare Workers guidelines. If positive, requirement is

flu vaccine which is usually not available until mid-August. The flu shot must be completed
between 8/15 and 10/15 for fall admission & between 9/1 and 12/1 for spring admission. It
should include the following:
• Administration date

administered vaccine (i.e., RN, MD)
H. COVID-19 -Must upload proof of being fully vaccinated for COVID-19
I. Hepatitis A & Polio (Optional) - Document vaccine history
You MUST upload your titer results first, even if the results are negative. Once the results have
been reviewed, a next step of “repeat vaccine series 1” will be generated for you to upload proof
of having received the first vaccine. This will continue until the series is completed. You will ONLY
need to repeat a titer for HEP B if you repeated the vaccine series.
Tuberculin (TB) Test
Students must submit documentation of negative evidence of TB Test by dates specified in Appendix A-
Deadlines & Fees for Clinical Requirements. All subsequent tests must be completed annually (every
year) prior to expiration date. See Appendix B– Submitting Documents for instructions on how to
