Students must demonstrate the ability to meet certain functional abilities at the time of acceptance into the nursing program and while enrolled in all nursing courses. A nursing student must demonstrate the physical and psychological ability to provide safe, competent client care. The physical and psychological qualifications needed for success in the nursing program can be found at Associate Degree Nursing Technical Standards & Practical Nursing Technical Standards.
If a qualified individual has a documented disability or a change in health status, appropriate and reasonable accommodation will be provided. Unless doing so would fundamentally alter the essential training elements, cause undue hardship, or produce a direct threat to the safety of the client or student.
