Standards of Conduct

The nursing student shall comply with legal, moral and legislative standards that determine unacceptable behavior of the nurse and that may be cause for denial of a license to practice as a registered nurse in accordance with Alabama law as stated below.

"The board shall have the power to deny, revoke or suspend any license issued by it or to otherwise discipline a licensee upon proof that he or she is guilty of fraud or deceit in procuring or attempting to procure a license; has been convicted of a felony; is guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude or of gross immorality that would tend to bring reproach upon the nursing profession; is unfit or incompetent due to personal habits; is habitually intemperate due to the use of alcohol or is addicted to the use of habit-forming drugs to such an extent as to render him or her unsafe or unreliable as a licensee; has been convicted of any violation of a federal or state law relating to controlled substances; is mentally incompetent; is guilty of unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive, defraud or injure the public in matters pertaining to health; or has willfully or repeatedly violated any of the provisions of this article as defined by board rules and regulations." (Alabama Board of Nursing Administrative Code, September 1997)

Failure to comply with any of the above stipulations while in the nursing program constitutes grounds for dismissal from the program.

It is important for nursing students to know about the Alabama Board of Nursing’s regulations governing review of candidates for initial and continuing licensure eligibility. There will be questions on the application to take the examination for licensure as a registered nurse that ask, “Have you ever been arrested for or convicted of a criminal offense?” and, “Have you ever been arrested for or convicted of driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol?” Application to take the examination may be denied on the basis of this review. Although these policies apply specifically in Alabama, other states have similar stipulations for licensure.

Uniform

The Uniform of the Student of Professional Nursing

“Clothing is a form of nonverbal communication that stimulates judgmental or behavioral responses in others. Our clothing makes it possible for a stranger to categorize us — at least tentatively — and sets the stage for further interaction… Those who wear uniforms are issued a common identity, separating them from others. But uniforms send out a dual message: They are symbols of authority and power and, at the same time, a sign of reduced individuality — the wearer must act according to the expectations and limitations defined for the group.”

Kalisch. B., & Kalisch, P. (1985). Dressing for success. American Journal of Nursing,85 (8), pp. 887-888.

The CCN student uniform projects an image of professionalism and competence. Students represent nursing, the College, and The University of Alabama to the public when dressed in the student uniform; they, therefore are charged with portraying a positive professional image of nursing.

The student uniform was approved by the students and faculty of the College and is to be worn in its entirety. The uniform is ordered from the College’s specified vendor and is ordered prior to entering upper division clinical nursing courses. There are to beNOsubstitutes for the official uniform. If replacement uniforms are needed, they must be ordered from the vendor. Order forms are available online.

If a student chooses to wear a tee shirt under the college uniform, it must meet the following criteria. The tee shirt must be white, non-transparent, smooth texture with no visible tee-shirt wording, and no visible undergarments. The shirts may be short sleeved or long sleeved.

珠宝plai穿的制服是有限的n band ring, watch, and no more than one set of plain studs in pierced ears. Fingernails must be clean and of medium length. No nail polish is permitted. Hair must be neat and well-groomed, with no hair ornaments except combs or barrettes in neutral colors. Hair should be secured so as not to interfere with client care. No bright, fluorescent or unnatural hair colors. Perfume and excessive makeup must not be worn. Beards and/or mustaches must be clean, well-trimmed and neat, at the faculty’s discretion. Beards and/or mustaches are discouraged in clinical areas where masks are routinely worn. Beards are discouraged in patient care areas requiring N-95 mask fit testing. No visible tattoos and no additional visible body piercing permitted.

Maternity uniforms that closely resemble the official uniform may be worn during pregnancy.

Please Note:The student uniform is worn only for scheduled clinical learning experiences including pre-clinical preparation days at the clinical agency. If a student is employed by a clinical agency, the uniform designated by the agency must be worn (such designation cannot be the student uniform as defined in this policy).

This student uniform policy is reviewed periodically by the Student Life Committee of the College of Nursing, which has student representation.

Time Limit

If upper-division requirements for the degree have not been completed within five years after initial registration in the Capstone College of Nursing, the student’s academic record will be reviewed to establish appropriate changes or requirements. Any student who has not enrolled in upper-division courses for more than one semester is required to seek approval from the assistant dean of Undergraduate Programs prior to registration to enroll in any subsequent courses. Approval may require repeating courses to ensure that knowledge is current.

Content Mastery Series

Content Mastery Series (RN Fundamentals, RN Pharmacology, RN Adult Medical Surgical, RN Mental Health, RN Maternal Newborn, RN Nursing Care of Children, RN Nutrition, RN Leadership, RN Community Health, and RN Comprehensive Predictor) are required. With the exception of the Comprehensive Predictor, the minimum performance benchmark for students on all Content Mastery assessments is a Level 2. For the Comprehensive Predictor, the minimum performance benchmark is 95% probability of passing NCLEX. Students must complete individualized remediation, which will vary based on student’s level of achievement.

Review Course

All graduating seniors are required to take the review course provided by ATI in preparation for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).

Admission to Lower Division

Students are admitted to the lower division of the Capstone College of Nursing when they meet University of Alabama admission requirements. Students are encouraged to acquaint themselves with general academic regulations of the University, as stated under theAdmissionssection of this catalog. Transfer students are encouraged to seek advisement from the Capstone College of Nursing Office of Nursing Student Services.

Prerequisites

Many lower division courses have specific prerequisites. See course descriptions for prerequisites or contact the Office of Nursing Student Services for detailed information.

Promotion to Upper Division

An online application for promotion to the upper division may be accessed atnursing.ua.edu. It is the student’s responsibility to submit an application by the deadline. Applicants for the upper division must be admitted to The University of Alabama prior to accessing and submitting an application for upper division.

Promotion Policies

Promotion to the upper division requires successful completion of the lower-division courses designated on the Capstone College of Nursing BSN program of study. Students may apply and be considered for promotion to the upper division during the final lower-division semester if they will have completed all courses prior to the semester for which application to the upper division is made. In such instances, promotion to the upper division may be granted conditionally, pending successful completion of all courses required for promotion. Promotion to the upper division may be withdrawn if the level of academic performance is significantly lower in those courses completed after conditional promotion.

Only those applicants who meet minimum requirements are eligible to apply to the upper division of the Capstone College of Nursing. The minimum grade point averages are at least a 3.0 for the required courses in the lower division and at least a 2.75 for the required science courses. A minimum score of a 75 is also required on the admissions assessment. The Capstone College of Nursing reserves the right to utilize additional criteria in the promotion process.

Spaces in the upper division are limited and meeting minimum admission requirements does not guarantee promotion to the upper division of the nursing curriculum. When the number of students seeking promotion to the upper division exceeds the number of spaces available, the most qualified applicants will be promoted. Those applicants who present the strongest academic records and who show the most promise for success in the upper division will be promoted.

Native UA students are defined as those who have completed 32 or more hours of the required lower-division coursework at UA or through Advanced Placement (AP) or Dual Enrollment courses completed in high school.Transfer students are defined as those students who have completed less than 32 hours of the required lower-division coursework at The University of Alabama. A transfer student may be accepted into the upper division when the academic record, taken as a whole, presents evidence of outstanding academic performance and a strong likelihood of success in the upper division.

Students requesting a transfer to the upper division of the nursing program from another BSN program must follow the promotion policies above.

The Capstone College of Nursing does not accept nursing courses from another BSN program. The number of students promoted each semester is dependent upon available resources; promotion to upper division is competitive. Applications and deadlines for promotion to the upper division may be obtained online atnursing.ua.edu.

Upon progression to the upper division, permission to depart from the clinical sequence must be obtained from the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs. Because of the limitations in clinical course spaces, departure from the sequence for any reason may significantly lengthen the time for program completion.

The academic advisors in the Office of Nursing Student Services assist students regarding academic matters. Students may make an appointment to meet with an academic adviser for academic matters at any time during the semester. Academic matters include course sequencing, withdrawals, dropping and adding courses, academic progression, registration and academic problems. Faculty mentors are available to advise and mentor students regarding career goals and questions about the nursing field. Students may request a faculty mentor by submitting the faculty mentor request form available atnursing.ua.eduto the ONSS.

Preregistration Advising

Lower Division

Students must attend a preregistration advising session each semester to be cleared for registration, unless an academic adviser has cleared them during that semester. A student who does not complete a designated advisement session during the scheduled period will be required to register during late registration and pay the associated fee. Information about advising and registration is provided atnursing.ua.edu.

Upper Division

Upper Division students participate in a preregistration group advising session facilitated by undergraduate faculty during the designated preregistration advising period in the fall and spring semesters. CCN provides specific information to upper-division students about clinical schedules.

There is no late registration for clinical nursing courses. If extenuating circumstances have made regular registration for clinical courses impossible, approval for late registration in these courses may be requested from the assistant dean of Undergraduate Programs.

Administrative Withdrawal from Clinical NursingCourses

Students’ clinical experiences are considered a vital part of learning the practice of professional nursing, and faculty guidance is available in facilitating these learning experiences. As students progress through the program of study, they are expected to increase their abilities to function independently and assume responsibility for their actions. When a student’s clinical decision making is deemed by faculty to constitute unsafe or unethical nursing practice, or when there is lack of adherence to established policies and procedures related to professional conduct, the student will receive a failing grade in the course and will be withdrawn from the course and/or suspended from the program. Administrative withdrawal procedures are initiated by faculty through the office of the senior associate dean for Academic Programs. Further progression in the Capstone College of Nursing is determined according to the rules for academic probation and suspension and the availability of space.

Return to the Undergraduate Nursing Program after a Nonacademic Leaveof Absence

Following a nonacademic leave of absence (e.g., military, medical or other) from the Capstone College of Nursing for six or more months, a student’s academic record and time elapsed since completing clinical nursing courses will be reviewed by the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs to facilitate the student’s readiness to re-enter the program.

Individualized plans will be negotiated with the student to facilitate a smooth transition into the program and may include knowledge-refresher activities, either informal or formal independent study.

Components of the refresher plan may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• review of medication calculations and completion of a medication-calculation exam
• review of health-assessment materials, such as videos
• review of appropriate charting and documentation methods
• practice with medication administration, such as PO, IM and IV
• practice with skills such as foley catheter insertion, NG tubes, suctioning, sterile dressing changes, injections and IV insertion
• review of content from an NCLEX Review book of content areas previously completed

This option is offered to facilitate the student’s successful re-entry into the BSN program. The student assumes responsibility for his or her learning and is encouraged to seek needed assistance.

Auditing Courses

Clinical nursing courses are not open to auditors.

Inclement Weather

Faculty in the following situations may cancel clinical laboratory experiences:

1. At those times when the Tuscaloosa city or county school systems are closed due to inclement weather conditions
2. At those times when school systems in the same geographic location as the health care agency are closed due to inclement weather

Each faculty member is responsible for evaluating the weather conditions in the geographic area of the clinical site. If a decision is made to cancel the clinical experience, it is the faculty member’s responsibility to contact students with all relevant information. All cancelled clinical time will be rescheduled.

Classes located on the University Campus may only be canceled by the President’s office. Students should listen to local TV/radio broadcasts for information concerning cancellation of classes.

BSN Student Affirmation Form

Upper division students are required to sign a CCN BSN Student Affirmation Form each semester. By signing this affirmation, students are committing to maintain professionalism related to HIPAA guidelines, American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics, University of Alabama Code of Academic Conduct, etc.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed by Congress in 1996 to insure the portability of insurance coverage as employees moved from job to job; to increase accountability and decrease fraud and abuse in health care; and to improve the efficiency of the health care payment process, while at the same time protecting a patient’s privacy. All upper division students must participate in an annual HIPAA Privacy and Security Training.

Occupational Safety & Health Administration Standards

CCN abides by theOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards. All upper division students must participate in an annual review of OSHA standards as they relate to bloodborne pathogens and transmission of tuberculosis. Fit testing for a respirator (mask) may be a part of this requirement.

Licensure

在完成这个项目,学生满足educational qualifications of the Board of Nursing in the state for which they are seeking licensure in for taking the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. Completion of the academic program in no way assures the student of licensure. No employee, agent or representative of the University is authorized or empowered to provide such assurances either directly or by implication.

Resolution of Concerns

Students are encouraged to seek the guidance of the academic advisor when problems arise. If problems occur that are directly related to nursing courses, resolution should be sought through conference with the course faculty. If the problem is not resolved at that level the student may seek resolution through a conference with the Course Leader, RN Mobility Coordinator (for RN Mobility Track Students), Assistant Dean Undergraduate Programs, the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Programs, or the Dean, in respective order.

Student Employment

对学生雇工CCN不承担任何责任d in a health care agency. A student is personally responsible for any activities conducted while employed. Professional liability insurance purchased for each student by the College is valid in the student role, but not in the employment role. An individual who practices nursing illegally may jeopardize his/her future as a licensed professional. A student employed in an agency has the responsibility, personally and professionally, to engage in only those activities, which fall within the job description for non- professional workers, and has a responsibility to refuse to participate in activities, which he or she has not been legally licensed to perform.
