ADN, BSN and APRN placements

ACEMAPP is an online placement and credentialing system for all students/schools requesting ADN, BSN and APRN placements. OHSU uses ACEMAPP for placement requests, to verify student records, and to track and manage student placements on our campuses. We ask our education partners to submit placement requests via this system and to verify that all the student records, ex. drug screens, immunizations, criminal background checks, etc. have been successfully completed.    

ACEMAPP includes the attestation of the administrative requirement for ADN, BSN and APRN students.

To get started in ACEMAPP, please go to acemapp.org/contact and complete the “Contact Us” form with your information. Select “New Organization Account Access” as the subject and let us know in the message that you are intending to connect with OHSU Health System. You may also call 844-223-4292 to speak with an ACEMAPP team member.  

ACEMAPP request selection

Please note, current OHSU employees who are requesting ADN, BSN or APRN placements are not required to use ACEMAPP.  View the OHSU employee placement section of the Welcome page for more information.

BLS Certification Requirement

OHSU does not accept AHA RQI certification. Learners must obtain an AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) Provider certification card.

Please review the information required for a student to obtain an OHSU ID badge.
All Rotations: Background Check Attestation Letter
OHSU requires that all background checks are in alignment with Oregon Health Authority standards. A background check letter is required for a student to receive the required OHSU student ID badge.
Background check attestation letters must be on school letterhead with the current date, and include: Student name, School/University name, criminal background status, student standing, and signature of the Clinical Placement Coordinator or Faculty member.
Example: “To Whom it May Concern, (Student Name) has passed a criminal background check that includes Social Security number trace, State/National criminal background history, sex offender registry check, and OIG LEIE check, and is a student in good standing at (Name of School or University). Signed by: Clinical Placement Coordinator or Faculty.”
Non-nursing Rotations: Background Check Attestation Letter & Administrative Requirements Attestation
In addition to the background check attestation letter, for Medical Assistant and Certified Nursing Assistant rotations, each student is required to complete an attestation of administrative requirements. Attach both the background check attestation letter and the attestation of administrative requirements documentation to the Onboarding Request Form located in Step 4.
