Physical Examination and Health Insurance. Due
to the strenuous demands of nursing study and
practice, and because of extra risk of exposure to illness,
a physical examination and renewal of
immunizations are required upon entry to the
School of all students. The School of Nursing will
provide the necessary forms after students have
confirmed their intention to enroll. Students may
have the physical examination and immunizations
performed by a private physician (examination
results from the previous six months are acceptable)
or make an appointment with the Student
Health Service Health Evaluation Section.
The School also requires that all students carry adequate
hospital/medical insurance. This requirement
may be met either by purchase of UCLA Student
Supplemental Health Insurance Plan or by demonstration
of alternative insurance acceptable to the
School. Failure to return the official Application
and Waiver Form and/or failure to present documentation
of alternative coverage if the UCLA Student
Insurance is waived, will result in an official
hold on registration until the requirement is met.
