Conduct Expectations

All members of Donnelly College Nursing program are EXPECTED to maintain standards of conduct both inside and outside the classroom befitting productive and responsible citizens of our community. Students represent Donnelly College Nursing programs and will be therefore held to high standards.

Respect for the instructor and classmates is always expected. Disrespect includes, but is not limited to, being disruptive in class, inappropriate social media posts about classmates, instructors, programs, or Donnelly College, talking with peers while instructor is lecturing and using profanity in any form.
Class participation is required. Sleeping or texting during class is not tolerated and you may be asked to leave the class.
Appropriate clothing will be worn to class and clinical locations. Clothing needs to fit comfortably without being revealing. Instructors and the Director can remove a student from the class, lab or clinical location if the clothing is not appropriate.
Class begins at the stated time. If you are late or absent, it will be recorded in your attendance. In some cases, you may not be admitted.
If an instructor finds your behavior outside the expectations of a Donnelly College Nursing student, they have the authority to dismiss you from the class, clinical or lab. This may result in missing an assignment, quiz, or exam. It is the instructor’s discretion to allow or not allow make-up of the missed work
If a student is arrested, charged, or convicted of a crime while in the nursing program, it is to be reported to the Director of Nursing immediately for evaluation on ability to stay in the program.
