Students Employed in Healthcare Facilities
Mohawk College Practical Nursing students who are volunteering and/or employed in any capacity in a healthcare facility are advised that during the time they are working:
Students are responsible:
- that they are on site solely as employees of the healthcare facility and have no status as students of Mohawk College;
- that Mohawk College will assume no liability for them or for their actions during that time;
- they must not wear Mohawk College student uniform or identification, or in any way identify themselves as Mohawk College students on placement while they are working;
- to inform the Placement team (Diana Powell) if they are currently employed by the same agency or unit where they are aligned to complete their Professional Practice.
Clinical Accommodations
All requests for accommodation must be made in advance to the Accessible Learning Services department, who will determine what, if any, accommodation is appropriate. Course instructors and invigilators will not grant any additional or informal accommodations. A separate accommodation letter is required for clinical accommodations.
Students requiring clinical accommodations:
- You are required to identify yourself at the beginning of the semester (or as early as possible) to Accessibility Learning Services. A review of procedures and facilitation of communication by your case manager with necessary members of the nursing department will then take place.
