Units earned through proficiency examinations, life experience, etc. Validation of previous learning through Nursing Mobility Profile and Clinical Proficiency examinations is offered upon admission through the Department of Nursing. The extensive clinical experiences in nursing increase the expenses for students in this major. In addition to lab fees, the following requirements exist. Students must purchase uniforms and meet the special expenses required for field work, such as transportation expenses.
Students are responsible for their own transportation to clinical experiences.
Students in nursing are expected to enroll in health insurance plans of their choice and to maintain effective immunizations as required by the school. A yearly physical examination and laboratory tests are required of all students prior to the start of each fall semester. Forms are obtained from the Nursing Department office. No student will be allowed to participate in clinical practice without completed physical exam results on forms by due dates. If registered for the course and forms are not completed, students will be immediately dropped from the course with a loss of clinical preference.
