Classroom Conduct

The faculty of the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing has a commitment to the nursing profession and to you as the next generation of nurses. Professional demeanor and accountability in students are essential to the development of the professional. The faculty believes that classroom behavior is as important as clinical behavior and expects students to demonstrate professional behavior in interactions with faculty, staff, peers, and others they come into contact with.

Examples of inappropriate behaviors in the classroom include:

Use of cell phones and pagers or allowing them to ring in class
Bringing infants or children to class
Sleeping in class
Arriving late and leaving early
Coming unprepared for class
Conducting side conversations
Using a computer in class unrelated to the course
Dominating conversations and discussions
Cheating, plagiarism, academic dishonesty
Taunting and belittling other students or professor
Using profanity in the classroom
Sending inappropriate e-mails to professor, staff or other students

Students who persistently engage in behaviors that are disruptive to the teaching/learning process will be required to leave the setting.
