Nursing Lab Policies

Each lab procedure must be passed satisfactorily completing 100% of the critical elements.
The student will have two opportunities to pass each procedure. An additional opportunity can be earned if the student attends the scheduled live demo.
- On the second testing of an essential procedure, the student will have the option of selecting and scheduling an additional nursing faculty member to be present.
- Any student who does not meet the criteria for passing an essential procedure within the two opportunities will be considered to have failed the lab.
Students must pass the skill in Lab before going to clinical and performing the skill on a patient.
The time limits set for the lab procedures testing will be enforced. Any student failing to complete the procedure(s) in the set time limit will receive a failure for any procedure(s) not completed.
Failure to attend a scheduled testing time for any reason will count as a testing failure.
All scheduling or changes must be made through the Nursing Lab Coordinator. Keep an email copy of this communication.
All appointments for the retest must be made at the time of the failure. Retesting may not be done the same day.
Written work must be satisfactorily completed and on time. Late assignments will not be accepted and will result in a ZERO.
All lab competencies and practicums are treated as clinicals. Uniforms and name tags are required.
There are to be no extra credit assignments.
