Community College (UCC) Nursing Program Student Procedures Handbook has been prepared by UCC’s Nursing Program staff and faculty to provide you with the information you will need to be successful in your studies. Please read it carefully and refer to it frequently. UCC’s Nursing Program consists of education that builds on the previous terms learning standards. Each course combines didactic with clinical experiences in a variety of settings. You will be responsible for your own learning, with your instructors serving as resources to facilitate your learning. Your progress will depend on your demonstrating achievement of the competencies required in each term. To succeed, you will need to use the many resources available on and off-campus such as the library, the tutoring center, eBooks, and more. UCC’s Nursing Program is approved by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN), which means that the program meets or exceeds standards for excellence. To maintain this approval, nursing staff are constantly monitoring the quality and outcomes of the curriculum. Based on the staff’s belief in student involvement in curriculum development, we invite student participation in evaluating the curriculum and the program. Students are given opportunities to provide feedback both oral and written throughout the course, at the culmination of courses, and through individual conferences with their Clinical Instructors and via their student representative. The Nursing Director ensures that Student Representatives are invited to participate in program meetings to seek information and share feedback. The materials in this handbook supplement
