Covenant School of Nursing students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the high ethical standards expected of registered nurses and in a manner consistent with the ANA Code of Ethics. Honesty and integrity are expected from all students from admission through graduation. Dishonesty undermines the goals of nursing education and professional development. Because nursing students may, after graduation, be licensed to practice professional nursing and are required to assume responsibility for the life and welfare of other human beings, every nursing student is expected to demonstrate competence and patterns of behavior which are consistent with professional standards, and which are deserving of the public's trust. Students and faculty accept responsibility for acting in an ethical manner. Together they create an atmosphere conducive to professional integrity.
Students and faculty are expected to report to the Dean (or the designee) the conduct that violates the standards of professional honesty and integrity. It is the intent of this policy to support an atmosphere of integrity within the Covenant School of Nursing.
It is the responsibility of each student to support this atmosphere both individually and collectively. We expect nursing students to enter the program knowing what is right and what is wrong. Nursing students are expected to do what is right when it comes to matters of integrity, honesty, and ethical conduct. Further we expect nursing students to move beyond thinking only of their own situations to thinking of what is right for their peers, their patients, and ultimately the nursing profession.
A violation of the Honor Code may lead to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal or expulsion.
