Purpose

This handbook is specific to the Associate’s Degree Nursing Program, and is intended to provide a reference for the students while enrolled in the program.

The Student Handbook contains the policies and guidelines of the ADN Program.  Reading the ADN Student Handbook is an individual student responsibility, and each student is held accountable for the contents of the ADN Student Handbook.  While a student is in the Nursing Program, it is expected that the policies and procedures contained in the Nursing Division Student Handbook will be followed.  The Nursing Faculty reserve the right to revise policies as needed.  When policies are developed or revised, students will be informed of the changes in writing.

The NIC Catalog and the ADN Program Student Handbook are available to students as a resource for NIC policies and procedures.  If there is a difference in policy between written documents, the Nursing Program Handbook will take precedence.
