The College of Nursing offers an Academic Lab for Nursing Students. Attendance in Academic Lab is required of all students enrolled in clinical courses. The Student Success & Retention Coordinator, the Dean’s Fellow for Teaching, Testing, and Learning Enhancement, faculty content coaches, and nursing instructors deliver Academic Lab instruction on a rotating schedule. Content tutoring, academic coaching, ATI review, NCLEX test-prep, and student services content will be covered throughout the semester. Information and concepts will be reviewed and your attendance in this class is critical to your overall academic success in nursing. In addition to Academic Lab attendance and individual appointments with the Student Success and Retention Coordinator, nursing students are encouraged to attend student success workshops offered throughout the semester.
UMSL encourages students to pursue excellence within a respectful and collegial environment and to assume responsibility for the consequences of personal actions. For that reason, the University requires students to reject any type of dishonest behavior. Conduct for which students are subject to sanctions falls into multiple categories and can be viewed Section 200.010.
All University of Missouri students are subject to the Standard of Conduct (hyperlink) for students which appears in Section 200.010 of the Collected Rules and Regulations of the University of Missouri and for which they may be disciplined in accordance with the procedures in Section 200.020.
Students of nursing have a responsibility to society in learning the academic theory and clinical skills needed to provide nursing care. The clinical setting presents unique challenges and responsibilities while caring for human beings in a variety of health care environments. The Code of Academic and Clinical Conduct (Student Handbook NSNA Code of Academic and Clinical Conduct) is based on an understanding that to practice nursing as a student is an agreement to uphold the trust with which society has placed in us. The statements of the Code provide guidance for the nursing student in the personal development of an ethical foundation and need not be limited strictly to the academic or clinical environment but can assist in the holistic development of the person.
The Baccalaureate degree and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs and the post graduate APRN certificate program are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Colleges of Nursing Education. The baccalaureate degree program is approved by the Missouri Board of Nursing; all programs are approved by the Higher Learning commission.
