recommendation

body
Financial Impact:
There is no direct financial cost for the Department to participate in this program.
Background Information:
This is a renewal agreement with Simpson University for the placement of nursing students at the Tehama County Health Services Agency (TCHSA). The students are given the opportunity to participate in a service-learning environment with the staff of TCHSA. It is also an opportunity for TCHSA to participate in the education of those who plan a career in health services and gives the Department an opportunity to recruit these candidates after they graduate from college. If this agreement is not approved, these students would need to find other facilities to provide rotations to meet their training needs.
The insurance requirements detailed in Section V. General Conditions, subsection B. Insurance, differs from the County’s standard requirements for contractors, however these are the same levels of insurance that the County has historically required from Simpson University, and other higher education institutions that TCHSA contracts with for similar services.
