immunizations and tuberculosis clearance documentation is required
in accordance with current Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and OSHA recommendations and guidelines for
Health-Care Personnel. Below are health certification details which
are subject to change as required by OSHA and CDC.
-Immunizations -
Based on the CDC Recommended Immunizations for Health-Care
Personnel (HCP), all HCPs must submit documentation of immunization
to Hepatitis B (HB) (series of three doses with anti-HBs serologic
testing 1-2 months after dose #3), proof of immunity to Hepatitis
B, or a signed declination; Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR);
Varicella (chickenpox); and Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (booster
every 10 years). - Highly recommended immunizations for the HCP
include Influenza (yearly), Hepatitis A, and Pneumonia. -For some
individuals, a titer test will be indicated vs. vaccinations.
-Titer tests showing immunity to listed pathogens are acceptable.
-Titer tests showing a negative response require appropriate
immunizations and follow-up titers must be completed and submitted.
-If one or more of the listed immunizations are contraindicated,
documentation must be submitted clearly identifying the reason(s).
-Clinical laboratory reports with facility stamp and medical
doctor's signature are required.
Tuberculosis Clearance - the CDC Guidelines for Preventing the
Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings
are intended to protect the HCP and patients. -
Two Options (consult with supervisor for specific program
requirements)
(1) The TB screening program consists of two major components: -(1)
baseline single test for M. tuberculosis infection and (2) serial
testing/screening for M. tuberculosis infection. -The HCP must have
a baseline single test followed by serial skin testing once per
year. -If the HCP has a baseline positive result or has previously
had a positive result, a chest radiograph must be completed to
exclude a diagnosis of TB disease. -Thereafter, every year the HCP
must receive a symptom screen. -
(2) The TB blood test (also called interferon-gamma release assays
or IGRAs) measures how the immune system reacts to the bacteria
that cause TB. An IGRA measures how strong a person's immune system
reacts to TB bacteria by testing the person's blood in a
laboratory. IGRAs are the preferred method of TB infection testing
for people who have received bacille Calmette-Gu--rin (BCG) as this
is a vaccine for TB disease. There is no problem with repeated
IGRAs. Two IGRAs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and are available in the United States: (1)
QuantiFERON --TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT) and (2) T-SPOT -.TB
test (T-Spot). Positive IGRA: This means that the HCP has been
infected with TB bacteria. Additional tests are needed to determine
if the HCP has latent TB infection or TB disease. A health care
worker will then provide treatment as needed. Negative IGRA: This
means that the HCP's blood did not react to the test and that
latent TB infection or TB disease is not likely.
KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE:
One year or less experience in teaching in a university or college
setting required as defined by University's faculty handbook.
Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite Products, especially
Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and other MS office products as
needed.
Working with online learning management systems to further engage
the student learning process desirable.
Knowledge of state, federal and local laws/regulations relating to
programs, governmental compliance and other regulatory standards
such as state Board of Nursing, Commission on Dental Accreditation,
state Dental Hygiene Committee, state Dental board, Accreditation
Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), Western
Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) or other regulators
and/or accreditation bodies. -
Clinical RN - Must have a minimum of two (2) year's prior
experience as a registered nurse providing direct patient care and
have a minimum of one year experience in the field in which they
teach.
To comply with the requirements of the clinical sites, the orders
issued by the California Department of Public Health, and other
local, state, and federal law and/or regulation, this position
requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
