Please note that we are now providing Skills Nurse hours at all three campuses. Please be sure to have your students use the calendar that corresponds to your campus to sign up for time in the Clinical Skills Lab Thank you!

The HSSC has Skills Nurse coverage on the Oakland, Sacramento and San Francisco Peninsula Campuses on weekends,and after-hours on some weekdays. Although, the skills labs are focused primarily for nursing students, the lab is opened to all students to access during the scheduled skills time. Depending on student and faculty requests the scheduled labs may be focused on specific topics; if this is the case, it will be noted on the calendar.

The Skills Nurse for the Oakland and San Francisco Peninsula campuses is Mia Bantugon . Mia posts her hours for the Oakland campus on the HSSC Skills Lab calendar each week. She posts her SFPC hours on the SFPC Skills Lab calendar each week. The Skills Nurse for the Sacramento campus is Tarina Levitt-Trujillo. Tarina posts her hours for the Sacramento campus on the SRC Weekend Skills Lab calendar each week. If there are no skill lab hours posted, please email the Skills Nurse for your campus directly. If your student would like to meet with Mia or Tarina, please have them pre-schedule by accessing the appropriate calendar and signing up for the date and time they would like to come. The attached link will provide directions on how to access the HSSC Skills Lab Calendars. If you or your student does not hear from Mia or Tarina within 48-72 hours please email Rachel True, HSSC Operations Manager.

Faculty:

If you want a student to meet with the Skills Nurse to review specific skills and/or to make-up missed lab time, please complete the attached Nursing Student Referral Form and have the student bring with them when they are scheduled to meet with the Skills Nurse.

If students need to complete specific competencies prior to a clinical, and you need support from the Skills Nurse to accomplish this, you must coordinate this with them at least 2-weeks in advance. For example, students need to demonstrate competency for giving flu injections - they need to be alerted in advance that students will be contacting her to practice this skill and get signed off.
