Policies
The following policies are in effect at the C.O.D. Nursing Skills Laboratory:

Skill demonstrations for testing purposes are scheduled by appointment only.

Students are strongly encouraged to practice skills for demonstration exams during scheduled lab and open lab times.

For a skill to be considered demonstrated in a satisfactory manner, specified criteria for that skill must be met.

Students are given two attempts to pass a skill. If a student fails the first attempt, he or she will receive a remediation slip and must meet with a lab instructor for remediation of that skill.

A skill must be demonstrated at the lab within one week after a missed or failed demonstration exam.

A student who fails to meet time deadlines must meet with the course team leader. The student will be given the opportunity to present the reason for missing a particular deadline. The course team leader will then determine if the student will be allowed to continue.

Deadlines for all skill demonstrations are posted in course syllabi and on the Nursing lab web site.

No show/no call for a scheduled skill demonstration counts as a student’s first attempt. No exceptions.
