I understand that if I do not keep patient information confidential, or if I allow or participate in the inappropriate dissemination of or access to patient information, I shall be subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Uniforms A dress code has been established in recognition of the fact that the mode of dress does affect the establishment of a rapport and working relationship with patients, families, and colleagues. Identification pin stating student's name is to be worn in the clinical unit. Pins are purchased through the School of Nursing. Exception to this policy may be made by a clinical instructor when students are on a unit where this is the standard nursing attire.
White uniforms can quickly become yellowed or grayed through wear and washing.
Students are expected to replace their uniforms with fresh, white ones when this occurs. Pantsuits are to have matching tops and bottoms. Hair below collar length should be tied back. Washable sweaters, white or navy, may be worn when giving nursing care. Washable white turtleneck shirts may be worn under the uniform for warmth.
