Mandatory Program Uniforms (Scrubs) will be available in Fall 2014. All students enrolled in the
SCBScN program are required to wear a standardized uniform with SCBScN logo in the practice
education setting (clinical) and lab. Standardized uniforms promote professionalism, role
identification as well as improve personal safety and infection control. Further information
about uniforms will be provided in the Fall.
Students will also need to be prepared to dress business casual for presentations and guest
speakers.
For women: a reasonable length skirt or pants of a non-jeans material combined with a top
(such as dress shirt, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An informal dress with
appropriate skirt length is also acceptable. Revealing necklines and excessively high heels are
not acceptable.
For men: a combination of collared shirt (such as a dress shirt), trousers (such as khakis or blue,
green, brown, or black trousers) with a belt. Jeans are NOT acceptable business casual attire. A
blazer or business jacket can be added as an option.
Electronic Mobile Device
This is a generic term for devices like the iPod touch and Smartphone
(iPhone/Android/BlackBerry/Windows Phone). The device will be used for an application called
Nursing Central which has been licensed for your use in class and clinical environments. For
more information about the different devices Nursing Central runs, follow this link:
http://www.unboundmedicine.com/support
A license for this software has already been paid for in your student fees and you will be
provided with an opportunity to download the software once your first semester begins so
please do not purchase a copy of Nursing Central ahead of time.

should also become familiar with the student supports available; counselling, library services,
recreation and athletic activities, housing registries and many more services that are available
to students free of charge!

and
www.uregina.ca
) for information on
services and programs.

Identified Purposes and Handling of
Personal Information and
Personal Health Information in HSPnet
Updated: July 1, 2013
Background
The Health Sciences Placement Network (HSPnet) is a secure web-enabled application that is used by several jurisdictions in Canada. The HSPnet database contains
information about students in clinical placements within health agencies and other locations. Students authorize their educational program to use and disclose their personal information (name, student profile) and to use (but not disclose) their personal health information via HSPnet for the purpose of locating and coordinating placements as required for an educational program. This document provides a summary of the national HSPnet Policies on Privacy, Security and Data Access, relating to the protection of student information within HSPnet. The full Policies can be viewed on the HSPnet website at www.hspcanada.net.
Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information (PI) and Personal Health Information (PHI) in HSPnet
HSPnet policies ensure that PI and PHI in HSPnet:
· Are collected, used, and disclosed only for purposes consistent with identifying and coordinating a student’s clinical placements; · Cannot be used or disclosed without the consent of the student whose PI or PHI is to be collected; and
· Are used by or disclosed only to authorized individuals on a need-to-know basis, by/to staff involved in student placements within the student’s educational program or placement site. PHI is never disclosed via HSPnet to users who are external to the student’s educational program.
PI Collected

To contact students regarding placement needs or status, or regarding urgent issues such as labour disruption at the placement destination·
To generate class placement lists, confirmation notices and schedules·
To maintain a student history of placementsStudent name is disclosed upon confirmation of an accepted placement, for the purpose of facilitating placement arrangements (orientation, preceptor assignment) and as a record of students received by the Site. Name may be disclosed, at the discretion of the educational program, prior to acceptance if the Receiving Site has a need to know (e.g. to arrange a student interview, if the student is an employee).
The student’s school-issued email address may be released for the limited purpose of delivering passwords to Site computer networks. No other student PI (besides name) is disclosed under any circumstances, excluding Student gender which may be disclosed on specific request by a placement site that requires this information to accommodate patient/client preference (e.g. placements in homecare agencies).

· HSPnet data is physically and logically secured in accordance with industry standards and best practices, including enforcement of strict rules for physical security and backups, password protection at all points of access, and use of anti-virus software, firewall protection, and data encryption.
· Periodic audits of HSPnet transactions are carried out to ensure there are no problems and/or gaps in the user interface that might permit inappropriate access to or update of data.
· Personal information on each student, along with their placement history, is retained for a housekeeping period of180 days after the student’s completion of or withdrawal from the educational program, or after the consent expiry period of six years, whichever occurs first. A copy of their personal information is available to a student upon request to their jurisdiction’s Privacy Officer or the national HSPnet Privacy Officer.
