As in the past, all students and instructors who participate in clinicals at Cape Fear Valley must complete an orientation to the facility. In an effort to make that process consistent between schools we have developed a web-based student orientation.

Students and instructors who are preparing for clinicals or internships can access the site by visiting www.capefearvalley.com , and click on Orientation at the bottom of the page. The site is password protected; the password is ‘1638owen’. The orientation consists of 2 modules-Abbreviated Hospital Orientation and Corporate Compliance. After viewing each individual module and successfully completing a posttest, a certificate can be printed. The two certificates will be submitted to the school clinical instructor. The school is responsible for maintaining the hard copy certificates.

Within the website, there is a document (Clinical Student Online Completion List) that can be downloaded for the instructor to list the names of the individuals that have successfully completed the orientation. Please complete the form in its entirety. We must have all the information requested on the form. The instructor’s signature at the bottom will validate that each student, and the instructor, has completed the orientation requirements. This form must be presented to HR when requesting ID badges. The instructor will call Brenda Hubbard in HR at 615-7909 for an appointment and the students will accompany the instructor to HR at the appointed time to receive a brief hospital orientation and have picture ID badges made. An official picture ID such as a driver’s license is required as proof of identity when a badge is made. Human Resources is located at 1320 Medical Drive. Student to instructor ratio is 10:1 at most. An instructor must be listed for each 10 students on the Clinical Student Online Completion List. At the end of each semester’s clinical rotation, the student badges are to be returned to the instructor to be used throughout the student’s time in the program. There is a $20.00 fee for each lost badge.  If you have nursing students/instructors that will be using the computer system for charting or giving medication, please contact Judith Peters at jpete@capefearvalley.com or 910-615-4979 to schedule the necessary training.

Professional students whose instructors do not actually attend their internship or clinical experience with them must bring their orientation completion certificates to their internal contact person here at Cape Fear Valley Health System. The internal contact person will complete the Clinical Student Online Completion List, then escort the student to/or contact Human Resources to obtain their student badge.

We appreciate the opportunity to provide a clinical experience for healthcare students. We hope that this web-based orientation will make the process simpler for students and instructors.
