You should have gotten this at Orientation or from your manager. Then, make sure you have access to Citrix.

You may be asked to change your password. Make sure you follow the password policy. Once you have logged in to Citrix, you need to locate the folder for LMS and for the Epic@UNC Playground. Qualification Questionnaire The first step is to determine if you qualify for an accelerated option. To qualify for an accelerated Epic@UNC class, you should be working in the same role as when you used Epic in another hospital. This means that if you worked previously as a nursing assistant or nursing student and now you are a nurse, you would not qualify. If you previously worked in an ICU and now you are working in an inpatient nurse role, like the cardiac cath, you may qualify. Also, to qualify, you need to have actively used Epic in a prior position within the last two years. Log in to LMS. Search for EPIC14_AQQ. Highlight it and then click Register.

Click Submit to finish the registration and then click Start to open the qualification screening. Once you have answered the questions, click Submit. If you should qualify, you next will take the proficiency assessment. You need to wait at least two hours before you can take the proficiency assessment. Proficiency Assessment After qualifying, you can take the proficiency assessment. The proficiency assessment will take you approximately 60 minutes to complete.
