Clinical agencies have the right to enforce policies regarding substance abuse.
Student Suspected of Using Alcohol and Other Drugs Students exhibiting inappropriate behaviors that impede the performance of the student in the classroom or interfere with the functioning of the student will be removed from that setting by faculty or preceptor. Any time a faculty member suspects that a student is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, the student's behavior will be documented and reported to the Dean of the School of Nursing. After the behaviors have been thoroughly investigated, the faculty members of the nursing course will make a decision regarding requirements for continued progress in the program. Failure of the student to comply with the decision as outlined will be considered grounds for dismissal from the program.
