All students must be registered in all clinical courses for both terms by the specified deadline. Failure to register by this date may prevent accommodation in a clinical course. Current deadlines are published in the Registration Guide . The debarment policy will be invoked when the student demonstrates unsafe clinical practice. Unsafe clinical practice is behavior which places the client or staff in either physical or emotional jeopardy.
Physical jeopardy is the risk of causing physical harm.
Emotional jeopardy means that the student creates an environment of anxiety or distress which puts the client or family at risk for emotional or psychological harm. Unsafe clinical practice is an occurrence or a pattern of behavior involving unacceptable risk. Once the debarment process has been initiated, the student will not be able to voluntarily withdraw from the course that is presently under investigation. Students so debarred will have failed that course. Clinical Absence Baccalaureate Nursing Program students returning following one year or more absence from clinical courses must complete a mandatory demonstration of psychomotor skills competency in the skills lab.
