Attendance Policy:
Regular clinical and theory attendance demonstrates the level of commitment that is essential to success in the ADN Program and is expected of all nursing students. The Attendance Policy, consistent with college policy, underscores the value placed on attendance in both the classroom and clinical setting. Absences and tardiness interfere with the learning process and contribute to academic and clinical failure. The legitimacy of the reason for an absence in no way mitigates the losses incurred.
Nursing students are expected to:
Be punctual and attend all classes.
If a student is absent, they must contact the instructor to provide advance notice and make arrangements to make-up the time missed, as needed.
Tardiness may be treated as an absence.

Re-Entry Policy:
Students who fail or withdraw from first semester ADN courses (N270 and/or N271) are NOT guaranteed re-entry into the ADN program.
Students who exit the ADN program must make an appointment with the ADN program director or assistant director for an exit interview
A withdrawal for medical reasons must be substantiated by a physician’s note.
I want you to be aware of these factors early on, so that you understand the commitment you have made to enter into this program. It is imperative that you plan ahead, make arrangements for childcare, and connect with your employer to make arrangements. Again, this program is time intensive and requires an extensive amount of your own time to prepare, study, and practice.
Excessive absences will not allow a student to achieve objectives, therefore could result failure and exiting the program.
