Be respectful to Danville Community College, the faculty and staff, other students, employees of all clinical sites, any partners and competitors.

Do not reference Danville Community College faculty or any clinical facility employees, partners or competitors without their express consent.

Gifts

The relationship between a student and a client is professional and client-centered. It is important to establish good rapport with the client. It is considered inappropriate, however, to accept items of value (whether money or other gifts) from a client. Students will be subject to disciplinary action for accepting any gifts from clients. Cards, thankyou notes, or candy of minimal value are examples of appropriate gratuity. If the student is unsure whether or not it is appropriate to accept any token of appreciation, the student should consult with their clinical instructor.

Student Health

Each student will assume responsibility (including financial responsibility) for his/her own health care. Should the student become ill during school hours, please notify an instructor. Each student is responsible for having their own health insurance. Students may participate in clinical if fever is less than 100.4°F.

Telephone

Telephone calls or text messages may not be received during class or clinical time. Personal phone calls and text messages are not allowed, except during scheduled break periods. Students cannot receive personal phone calls, text messages nor use telephones for personal use during clinical experiences. Should a family member or friend need to get in touch with a student please contact the Vice-President of Instruction and Student Development at (434) 797-8410. The appropriate student will be notified through this office. Do not call the Nursing Program secretary.

Personal Visits on Campus and at Clinical Sites

Personal visits are not allowed except in the most dire circumstances such as serious illness or tragedy; i.e., automobile accident, death of a family member. Should a family member or friend need to get in touch with a student please contact the Vice-President of Instruction and Student Development at (434) 797-8410 and the appropriate student will be notified through this office. Safety and legal factors necessitate this rule. Do not contact the Nursing Department.

If a faculty or staff member receives a telephone call from someone asking to speak to a student, the caller will be advised that classes/clinical are interrupted ONLY for
