Old Dominion University — Ellmer School of Nursing (BSN, MSN, DNP)
ODU Nursing (BSN/MSN) requires Tuberculosis (TB), MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis B, and Tdap / Td. 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 Monarch Wellness Portal (university Student Health); clinical compliance items routed through SON administrative procedures. University immunization form due by August 1 for fall full-time entrants and January 4 for spring full-time entrants; MSN catalog adds physical exams, CPR, background checks, and urine drug screening.

ODU Nursing requirements
Common questions about ODU Nursing requirements
Does ODU Nursing accept QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus for TB screening?
Yes — ODU Nursing's published clinical-clearance requirements list interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA / QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus) among accepted TB screening tests. See the school's published source for the complete list of accepted tests.
Does ODU Nursing require an annual TB screen?
Yes — ODU 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 ODU Nursing accept titers as proof of immunity?
Yes — ODU Nursing's published immunization requirements accept quantitative titers as evidence for MMR, Varicella, 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 ODU Nursing students upload immunization and clearance documentation?
ODU Nursing uses Monarch Wellness Portal (university Student Health); clinical compliance items routed through SON administrative procedures. 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 ODU Nursing?
ODU 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 ODU Nursing's published source for the current term. Practiclear cannot guarantee delivery against any specific institutional deadline.
What public sources don't tell us
We list the gaps because they affect what you should bring to your clinical office. Always confirm the items below with the school's compliance office before ordering.
- ODU does not publicly post a SON-specific clinical clearance page enumerating titer thresholds, frequencies, and acceptable test combinations
- Hep B titer threshold not on public nursing-specific page
- Detailed nursing immunization compliance vendor not stated on public pages
- Annual flu, COVID-19 status not explicitly stated for nursing students
