BSN HANDBOOK

CAMPUS SKILLS LABORATORY

  1. Students are required to meet all scheduled nursing skills laboratory appointments.
  2. Each student is expected to utilize the campus laboratory to become proficient in all skills before his/her clinical experience and demonstrate proficiency in particular skills to the appropriate faculty member.
  3. Each student is expected to utilize the equipment during posted campus laboratory hours.
  4. Due to the nature of some nursing courses, the student may be required to spend time outside of regularly scheduled class/clinical time to gain nursing skills. A student will be notified when practice laboratory sessions will be held.
  5. Faculty may request that the student return to the clinical laboratory for practice to gain proficiency. Inability to demonstrate proficiency in an assigned skill during return demonstrations may result in the student being excluded from the associated clinical experience and/or failing to meet the course objectives.
  6. A clinical experience missed due to inadequate preparation will be considered an absence.
  7. All laboratory equipment is the property of the School of Nursing. Any student borrowing equipment from the School is responsible for the maintenance of that equipment until it is returned, and will be required to replace any damaged, lost or stolen items.
