Nursing instructors are responsible for assigning patient care to students. Assignments are made based on the clinical objective, acuity level of the patient and the skill level of the student.
Students must follow the direction of the Clinical Instructor at all times, unless these instructions are:
- Unsafe
- Unethical
- Illegal
Students who fail to follow the instruction of the Clinical Instructor will be considered unsafe. They will be sent home, receive a zero for the clinical day, and may receive discipline up to and including dismissal from the program.
