During the last quarter of the senior year, a standardized comprehensive nursing examination is given. A passing score must be achieved on this exam to graduate. Students who are judged to be unsafe practitioners may be removed from the clinical area and are subject to dismissal as nursing majors. The School of Nursing Student Handbook is available to all nursing students. Students have the responsibility to acquaint themselves with its contents and are held accountable for all policies therein.
Students are responsible for their own transportation to agencies used for educational experience.
The use of a car is essential for each student to reach clinical sites. Transportation costs, including auto insurance, are the student's responsibility. Students must maintain at least the minimum state required auto insurance and provide proof to the School of Nursing. Students are responsible for any fee. The department offers these degrees and majors.
