sell or switch shifts. If a student is more than 15 minutes late for a shift they may have to repeat
a shift. If a student is going to be late or miss a shift they must contact the ICU (737-4825).
Students are also required to complete their after hours duties. Any after hours duties missed,
excused or unexcused, must be made up prior to receiving their diploma. Missed shifts may be
made up during the same rotation or subsequent rotations at the discretion of the scheduling
technician. If a student is going to be late or miss an after hours shift they must contact the ICU
(737-4825) and speak either to a technician on ICU duty or the intern on duty. If a student
arrives for their shift intoxicated or is deemed by the technician or intern on duty to be incapable
of completing their shift for whatever reason they will be sent home and the shift will be
repeated at a future date.
