Important Dates: Last Day to Add/Drop: January 8th, 2015 Last Day to Withdraw without Academic Penalty: February 27th, 2015 Attendance: The faculty of the RDC Nursing Department believes that students learn best when they are committed to Their programs and their learning. Attendance to all classes is strongly recommended. However, we recognize there are times students must take time away from the required learning experiences. Faculty are committed to supporting students learning if class time is missed. However, students are responsible for making arrangements to cover missed classes. An absence can cause a disruption of the learning process and may make it difficult to achieve learning objectives. Lab: Lab time provides student the opportunity to learn and practice nursing skills that will be used in clinical practice. CLPNA practice standards require all nurses to practice professionally and with competence. Therefore, lab attendance is mandatory. Make-up time is required to obtain experience in nursing skills/assessments and to ensure students practice with confidence and competence. All students are required to complete lab hours to make up missed labs, and this may be in the form of an assignment, a skill demonstration or a combination of these. Students must first set up a meeting with their lab instructor to discuss appropriate make up time or assignments that are required.
• If a student has been referred to the nursing Lab Instructor or Lab Coordinator, individual appointments with the Lab instructor or Coordinator must be made so that plans for the missed lab make up time can be made;
• Students will be responsible to preview videos and read required texts and articles prior to the make-up lab; • For safe and competent lab practice, the make-up lab session will only proceed when the student’s
preparation for the makeup lab is complete; • The Lab Coordinator or Lab Instructor will guide student practice and assist with best practice techniques
but will not teach content from the missed lab; • Students will be given a grade of ‘incomplete’ for the course until he/she has followed the lab makeup time
process.
Professional Conduct: The CLPNA Code of Ethics requires all nurses to conduct themselves based on the values of the profession. Professional behaviour is expected to be maintained in the classroom, lab and the clinical setting at all times to optimize learning for all students. Expectations of behaviour include:
• To arrive on time, prepared and to stay the duration of class and lab • To turn cell phones off in classroom, and labs: no cell phones or other technical devices in clinical, except
calculators • To use lap top computers and other devices such as: iPads only for note taking or accessing relevant
information in the classroom or lab. • To listen and consider all feedback provided by faculty. • To be respectful at all times with all communication with and about faculty, facility staff and co-students.
This includes verbal, written and electronic forms of communication inside and outside of the classroom, lab and the clinical settings.
