Absences due to illness, religious holiday, and death in the immediate family will result in the need to make up corresponding clinical days and must be made up in a reasonable time planned with the clinical course coordinator. The Division of Nursing provides one scheduled make-up day free of charge for absences due to illness and death in the immediate family. Absences which result from events other than those listed above must each be made up at the student's own expense. Cost will be based on the number of students in the clinical make-up day group. Payment will be due before the clinical make-up day and will be collected by the Undergraduate Administrative Assistant.
Students are responsible to attend all scheduled clinical days.
An excessive number of clinical absences may result in an unsatisfactory grade in clinical work. If a student does not complete make-up days as determined by the course instructor, the course will not be passed. If a clinical adjunct is ill or must be absent from a clinical day, he or she must notify students, the clinical agency, and the NYU Division of Nursing and plan a makeup day acceptable to all involved. All Nursing Science courses always require day-before preparation. Some Nursing Science courses, including Nursing Science III, require students to go to the clinical agency to review patient assignments.
