Hampton University — School of Nursing (BS, MS)
Hampton Nursing (BSN/MSN) requires Tuberculosis (TB), MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis B, Tdap / Td, and Influenza. Practiclear may help document 4 of these in a single Virginia draw (TB Screening Documentation, MMR Immunity Profile, Varicella IgG, Hep B Surface Antibody) — see matched products below. Documents typically upload via CastleBranch ("Certified Profile" — student-funded; used for both background check and Student Immunization Tracker). Annual cycle (handbook references "July to July" for College of Virginia Beach); students who fail to meet clinical clearance are administratively dropped and may not enter clinical practicum.

Common questions about Hampton Nursing requirements
Does Hampton Nursing require an annual TB screen?
Yes — Hampton Nursing's published requirements call for annual TB screening after the baseline screen, consistent with CDC and OSHA guidance for healthcare personnel. See the school's published source for the exact cadence per program track.
Does Hampton Nursing accept titers as proof of immunity?
Yes — Hampton Nursing's published immunization requirements accept quantitative titers as evidence for MMR and Hepatitis B surface antibody. Practiclear can order these titers in one Virginia draw and issue clinician-signed documentation when the reviewed result supports the requirement. The school's source page lists the exact accepted evidence.
Where do Hampton Nursing students upload immunization and clearance documentation?
Hampton Nursing uses CastleBranch ("Certified Profile" — student-funded; used for both background check and Student Immunization Tracker). Practiclear provides clinician-signed documentation as a PDF that students upload through the school's existing process; Practiclear does not submit documentation on the student's behalf.
What is the clinical-clearance deadline at Hampton Nursing?
Hampton Nursing's published requirements describe their clearance deadline cadence — typically tied to clinical-rotation start dates and reviewed each academic term. Specific deadlines change by cohort and program track; confirm with Hampton Nursing's published source for the current term. Practiclear cannot guarantee delivery against any specific institutional deadline.
