Perform skills or procedures that the student does NOT have the educational foundation to perform safely i. Perform any skill that is excluded by the clinical facility in regard to nursing students Clinical Restrictions: Students are not to bring children to the clinical site or laboratory. These experiences require full attention and participation. Hazardous equipment and supplies may be accessible to children during laboratory experiences. Clinical site policies restrict children for safety reasons. Students may not leave the clinical site anytime (including during breaks) during the scheduled clinical hours; this includes visiting their car unless approved by the clinical instructor. Students may not smoke on breaks during clinical hours. Students will follow clinical facility policy on access to cell phones during clinical rotations. There are no cameras allowed in a clinical facility unless used for a clinical purpose Skills Practice and Skills Check-off : All students are required to practice their skills in the laboratory before they complete their skills re-demonstration. Practice time will be determined individually with the expectation that the student must be proficient in the skill before re-demonstrating it. Students must successfully demonstrate competence in performing specific skills in the laboratory before they are able to perform them in clinical. Please review the expectations for successful skill re-demonstration in your nursing student handbook. Classroom Etiquette: It is expected that students will show sensitivity to their peers as well as instructors by avoiding any activity that may cause distraction during class. Incivility will not be tolerated and is an unsafe behavior. Cell phone use (texting or talking), cameras, side conversations, and children are not allowed in the classroom. Nursing is a profession and thus requires professional behavior. It is expected that students will act in a professional manner displaying commitment to learning in the classroom, lab, all clinical areas, all college areas, and at all times in the public (including social networking sites when representing the college or the profession of nursing.) Course study expectations: Commitment to learning is important to success. For every semester credit hour you are taking in a class, three hours needs to be set aside in your weekly schedule to read, study and devote towards your education outside of class. For example: NURS 225 (3 credit) x 3 hours = 9 hours/week to study (minimal recommended study hours per week.) Academic Dishonesty: Academic honesty is held in the highest regard within the Dakota Nursing Program. Academic dishonesty will be addressed following the policies outlined in your college catalog. Dishonesty may result in failure of the course and dismissal from the Dakota Nursing Program. Student Role in Evaluation of Teaching, Course, and Program Evaluation: The Dakota Nursing Program student will evaluate faculty teaching and curriculum in the classroom, lab and clinical settings. The evaluations are an important source of information for both individual faculty and for program evaluation.
