EXPECTATIONS OF BEHAVIOR

The nursing profession has developed a set of common guidelines for behavior and decision making called The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements, American Nurses Association, 2001. The nursing faculty abides by these profession standards and believes that nursing students should perform in accordance with the provisions of the Code.

Violation of any of these general standards of conduct or provisions of the Code is grounds for discipline and dismissal from the nursing program and/or the University.
