Students must notify the site, the clinical coordinator, and a program administrator if they are unable to attend a planned clinical day. Clinical Rotations and Practicum Experiences Attendance is required for all clinical and practicum experiences. Policies and procedures for all clinical and practicum experiences are program specific. B.S.N. students must live within 150 miles of their assigned campus. The clinical coordinator will place the B.S.N. student within 75 miles of the student’s campus. Graduate A.P.R.N. Students Students enrolled in the A.P.R.N. programs are active partners in their educational process. Students are responsible to notify the clinical coordinator two semesters prior to the start of each clinical course if they have an identified preceptor and clinical site. The clinical coordinator will confirm that the preceptor meets NSU requirements for clinical supervision and that the site provides the appropriate clinical experience. If an A.P.R.N. student does not have a preceptor requested or clinical site, the clinical coordinator will place the A.P.R.N. student within the 150-mile radius of the student’s residential ZIP code. This placement, once made, is not negotiable. Students are required to submit all required paperwork prior to the start of clinical hours and to make arrangements to visit the clinical site and meet their preceptor. Failure to meet this requirement may jeopardize progression in the course and the A.P.R.N. program. A.P.R.N. students are expected to begin clinical hours when didactic coursework begins. Clinical site and preceptor are approved by clinical coordinators. Students are not permitted to compress clinical hours at the beginning or the end of the semester. It is the expectation that attendance at clinical will be on a weekly basis to allow for full integration of course content. Graduate students are expected to notify the preceptor, the clinical site, and the program director two hours ahead of the clinical if they are to be absent from the clinical experience. All absences must be made up. Promptness Promptness is another trait a professional healthcare practitioner must display. Additionally, tardiness in class disturbs both the lecturer and other members of the class and is thus markedly inconsiderate and rude. Class schedules are published and available online. Administration reserves the right to make changes, assign weekend hours, or deviate from published schedules with notice. Students will await the instructor’s arrival until at least 20 minutes after the specified starting time, unless notified otherwise by an authorized person.
