Omnicell training requirements and enrollment process
Students and instructors may be required to access Omnicell to dispense medications. Registration for access is required 2 weeks before the placement starts.
Important information
- If an instructor is not entered into HSPnet, they will not get the student's account information sent to them.
- Returning students who have been previously auto provisioned an "S" account number will not have their account information resent for ongoing placements.
- Students are to keep their account information for their entire program and give to their instructors for registering them for Omnicell.
Training
- Preceptorship students are trained by their preceptor/supervisor.
- For group placements, it is the responsibility of the on-site faculty to train the students in their group. We ask on-site faculty to arrange for Omnicell training prior to the clinical placement using a school instructor to school instructor approach.
