Should the student miss one clinical day, a Contact Record will be completed. This record will indicate additional assignments required for completion.
Should the student miss two days of clinical during a semester, he/she must immediately make an appointment to see the course leader. A second clinical absence will automatically result in the issuance of a Formal Learning Contract specifying the required assignment.
On the third absence from clinical experience, the student will automatically be given a failing grade in the nursing course. The student's right of appeal is through the ADNP
Admission/Academic Standards Committee.
Students are expected to attend all scheduled skills/computer/simulation lab experiences. A lab absence counts as a clinical absence.
If a student arrives after 0645 AM in the clinical area, unless otherwise arranged, he/she will be sent home and considered absent. A student who leaves before 3 PM or before post conference is over will be considered absent for the entire clinical day.

CN, CICU, Heart Hospital OR, and Heart Hospital Cath Lab, Heart Hospital ER).
14.
Must follow HIPPA regulations. NO computer printouts of chart. (Refer to Student
Handbook).
Simulation Lab Component
The simulation lab component serves the following functions: provides the opportunity for students to practice skills in a simulated lab, fine tune critical thinking skills, and incorporate classroom content into practice in a controlled setting. The nursing faculty expects the nursing student to develop safety and proficiency with procedures by utilizing the simulation lab. This will minimize student anxieties in the clinical setting and maximize positive productive outcomes for both the client and the nursing student.
Computer Component
The computer laboratory component serves the following functions: provides the opportunity for students to practice their computer skills in a structured environment, develop critical thinking/problem solving skills, and practice helps prepare students for the
NCLEX by minimizing anxieties related to computer testing. Computer usage is a positive enhancement to theory and clinical components.
