Pregnancy Policy

PREGNANCY POLICY

     Students must have the approval of their primary health care provider to remain in clinical courses during pregnancy.  A written statement to that effect must be submitted to the Department Head of Undergraduate Nursing. Students are responsible for obtaining and delivering this statement.  A copy of the statement must be provided to current faculty so that the student is not assigned to situations potentially hazardous to pregnancy. 

     Students should refer to the Technical Standards for Admission to, progression in, and completion of the Undergraduate Program in Nursing to clarify criteria related to functional ability.
