On-Site Fingerprinting for Nursing Students, Planned Around Clinicals
Midwest Identity Services provides on-site fingerprinting for nursing students and allied health programs. We bring a scheduled fingerprinting event to your campus so an entire cohort completes the step together, ahead of clinical placement deadlines.
- Cohort-based scheduling
- On-campus events
- Multi-state placements
The challenge
Why fingerprinting delays clinical placements
Clinical sites won’t wait for fingerprints. But students rarely get them done on time when they are left to find appointments on their own.
-
Deadlines tied to placements
Clinical affiliates often require background screening before a student’s first shift. One late set of prints can hold up a rotation schedule.
-
Individual appointments don’t scale
Asking a full cohort to book their own appointments means inconsistent timing, missed instructions and repeated follow-up from your office.
-
Rejected or incomplete prints
Poor-quality prints or incorrect forms can lead to resubmission and new delays in a process that was already running against a deadline.
-
Requirements that vary
Clinical partners, background check platforms and state boards may each ask for something slightly different.
A fingerprinting event designed around your program calendar
Compliance coordinators give us the cohort, the deadline and the requirement. We plan everything else.
Before
Planning with your compliance office
We confirm headcount, clinical deadlines, the requirement students must meet and the documents they need, then provide attendee instructions you can send to students.
During
A structured campus fingerprinting event
Students check in by time block, present identification and are fingerprinted by our technicians, with print quality reviewed before they leave.
After
Submission and follow-up
Prints are submitted electronically or delivered on cards as the requirement specifies, and your office has one contact for student-specific questions.
Group fingerprinting for nursing schools, held on your campus
A campus fingerprinting event for students removes the biggest variable: getting everyone to an appointment.
We work with nursing programs, community colleges and universities to schedule sessions during orientation, lab days or the weeks before clinicals begin. As your on-campus fingerprinting vendor, we handle setup, check-in flow and print quality so your staff can stay focused on their own work.
- Sessions scheduled by cohort, section or time block
- Students fingerprinted where they already are
- Setup in a classroom, lab or conference room
- One point of contact for your compliance office
Fingerprinting for clinical rotation requirements
Many clinical affiliates require a fingerprint-based background check before students begin patient-facing placements.
We help programs complete that step on schedule, including FBI background check fingerprinting for nursing school clinical clearance where a clinical site or state requires it. If your school uses a third-party compliance platform such as Complio or American DataBank, students should follow that platform’s instructions for fingerprint submission. Share those instructions with us and we will plan the event to match.
Midwest Identity Services is an independent provider and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any compliance tracking platform. Confirm submission requirements with your program’s compliance vendor or clinical partners.
Fingerprinting for allied health clinical clearance
Nursing isn’t the only program with fingerprinting requirements. The same event model supports your wider health sciences portfolio.
Nursing pathways
- BSN and ADN cohorts, including mobile fingerprinting for BSN cohort background screening
- Accelerated and second-degree programs
- Pre-licensure nursing program admission requirements
- CNA and nurse aide training programs
Allied health
- Medical assisting and phlebotomy
- Radiologic and imaging technology
- Respiratory and surgical technology
- Pharmacy technician, EMT and paramedic programs
Compliance offices
- Admissions and pre-clinical background screening
- Re-screening during a program when required
- Coordination with clinical affiliate requirements
- Clinical compliance background check and fingerprinting planning
When students train across state lines
Programs near state borders, online and hybrid programs, and schools with distant clinical partners often have students who need fingerprinting for more than one state.
We coordinate group fingerprinting for nursing student clinical rotations across multiple states and help identify the method each state or clinical site expects. In the Kansas City metro, a single cohort may train at sites in both Missouri and Kansas.

Contact our teamCan you fingerprint an entire nursing cohort on campus?
Yes. We schedule on-campus sessions sized to your class, usually divided into time blocks so students can attend between classes or labs. Space, timing and attendee instructions are confirmed with your office beforehand.
Do nursing students need Live Scan or FD-258 fingerprint cards?
It depends on the state, the clinical site and the background check process your program uses. Some requirements call for electronic Live Scan submission; others require FD-258 ink cards. We confirm the method with you before the event.
Are you an approved fingerprinting vendor for a compliance platform?
Midwest Identity Services is an independent fingerprinting provider and does not claim approval or endorsement from any compliance tracking platform. If your program uses a platform such as Complio or American DataBank, share its fingerprinting instructions with us and we will confirm whether our service can meet them.
Can you help students placed at clinical sites in more than one state?
Yes. We help programs plan fingerprinting for cohorts with placements in several states, identifying the method each state or clinical site expects. See our multi-state fingerprinting programs for more detail.
