Clinical Practica<br />
Clinical experience, as an employed and licensed R.N., is a prerequisite to any clinical<br />
practicum. All experiences requiring clinical practice are arranged by faculty responsible for<br />
the course. You may recommend clinical sites but please do not make arrangements with<br />
persons or agencies. All clinical experiences are based upon either letters or memoranda <strong>of</strong><br />
agreements between the agency and the College. These agreements reflect the philosophy and<br />
objectives <strong>of</strong> the graduate program, and the assessment <strong>of</strong> the particular agency and faculty<br />
member that you will be able to meet objectives in that agency. Because these agreements are<br />
legal documents, they <strong>of</strong>ten require several months to finalize. If you wish to recommend a<br />
new clinical site please do so at least three months before your clinical placement is to<br />
begin. Do not contact the site or the potential preceptor. You may not begin your<br />
placement until the agreement has been signed. A grade <strong>of</strong> B or higher is required in all<br />
courses with a clinical component before progression to the next practicum or<br />
graduation.<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s will not be placed in sites where there is a conflict <strong>of</strong> interest with regard to<br />
evaluating student performance. Such conflicts include, but are not limited to, assignment to a<br />
relative or close family friend, assignment to a site where the student is currently employed,<br />
and assignment to a preceptor who has a business or financial relationship with the student or<br />
is a family member <strong>of</strong> the student.<br />
If long distance phone calls become necessary in the context <strong>of</strong> patient care or research<br />
assignments, you should contact your instructor who will arrange for you to use an <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
phone.<br />
If there are any questions, please contact the course faculty before proceeding.<br />
