Nursing Fundamentals and Internship Guidelines

Students who participate in clinical/internship experiences must abide by and be subject to the Pitt County School’s Code of Student Conduct.  Students demonstrating repeated rule violations as determined by the appropriate school personnel will be unable to participate in clinical/internship experiences.  Students with such offenses may be re-evaluated and allowed to participate if the student can demonstrate ONE FULL YEAR without offenses to the appropriate school personnel.  An appeals process is available.

STUDENTS DEMONSTRATING A VIOLATION OF THE RULES OF STUDENT CONDUCT AS DEFINED IN THE CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT;  RESULTING IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION AS DETERMINED BY THE DESIGNATED SCHOOL PERSONNEL WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN CLINICAL/INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES.

Students enrolled in Nursing Fundamentals are required to complete a minimum 40-hour clinical internship as the work-based component of the course. Students participating in clinical internships at local nursing homes & assisted living facilities must purchase required scrubs and the appropriate type of shoes, provide a criminal background check, and receive the required immunizations at their own expense. Participation in the clinical internship is mandatory.
