1. Simulation Guidelines Winter 2017

2. Policies Tardiness is defined as 1-7 minutes later than start time.
If you are tardy more than 8 minutes, you will be asked to leave resulting in an absence.

3. Policies Attendance Requirements (from the DSN Student Handbook):
Students are required to attend 100% of all clinical/simulation lab/skills lab experiences.  Due to the nature of clinical and lab experiences, students may be scheduled for more hours than the minimum required.  More than one absence in a clinical/simulation lab experience may result in course failure.  If a clinical/simulation/lab experience is going to be missed due to an unforeseen emergency (which must be proved), it is the responsibility of the student to contact the department manager and the clinical faculty at least one hour prior to the start of the experience or absence, or it will be counted as a no call/no show.  Any absence is subject to the $300 rescheduling fee.  This must be paid prior to your clinical or lab being rescheduled.

5. Make up simulations
There will be only one opportunity for make up simulations.
These will be scheduled for week 11 of the quarter.
We will try to schedule these around your clinical and didactic schedule.
If you miss the make up simulation it will result in a course failure.

6. Cell Phone Policy
In order to minimize distractions to other students and faculty teaching, cell phones are to be utilized during breaks and between classes only. During class, cell phones should be off and out of sight.
In simulation you may use your cell phone if looking up drugs or other information pertinent to the simulation with instructor approval.

7. Dress Code Scrubs only (standard DSN blues not necessary) Name badge

8. Simulation Procedures
New three hour model
Simulation tickets must be completed prior to arrival for class.
You will be required to show your completed ticket to your instructor.
If your ticket is not completed, you will be asked to leave and it will result in an absence.
