Clinical Learning Process Policies

Skill Laboratory Practice

As part of the learning process, students may be asked to perform a health services or nursing skill on a classmate or be asked to have a student perform one on them.  Students have the right to refuse to have any specific nursing skill be performed on them, and their refusal to participate in lab practice sessions may affect the student's ability to complete course successfully.

Several general policies are listed below to assist you in determining general criteria for clinical practice in agencies where you study.  More detailed policy will be discussed relative to specific agencies.

Affiliating Agency Policies

The College personnel and students are expected to abide by the rules and regulation of any affiliating agency utilized for clinical experiences.

Affiliating agencies utilized by the College are on a contractual basis.  All contracts contain an agreement that college personnel, nursing and health science students will conform to the rules and regulations of those agencies.

College of Nursing personnel or students failing or refusing to abide by the hospital policies will not be permitted to care for patients and may be dismissed from the College under the provisions for non-compliance of rules and regulations of any of the affiliating agencies.
