Or. Admin. Code § 851-021-0055 - Standards for Approval: Students
(1) While in the program of study, students
must be held accountable for demonstration of professional behaviors expected
of licensed professionals;
(2)
Admission, readmission, transfer, progression, dismissal, and graduation
policies must be available to the applicants and be consistent with those of
the educational institution. Where necessary, policies specific to the nursing
program may be adopted if justified by the nature and purposes of the nursing
program.
(3) Support services of
the program and the educational institution are accessible to
students.
(4) Students must meet
all nursing practice experience requirements as defined by the Oregon Health
Authority.
(5) Programs that
provide for advanced placement must develop and use policies designed to ensure
that students meet the equivalent of the program's current curriculum and
outcomes.
(6) The use of a single
high stakes standardized, or non-standardized examination is not congruent with
best educational practices and must not be used as a sole determinant of a
student's graduation or progression in a nursing education program. If such
assessments are used, the program must have a process and procedure for
remediation for students who do not pass.
(7) Student applicants must be informed
before admission that the Board has limits on eligibility for licensure, as
defined in OAR 851-031. Ultimately, licensure may be denied to graduates with a
criminal offense and those with a major physical or mental condition that could
affect the individuals ability to practice nursing safely.
(8) Student applicants to practical nurse and
associate degree level nursing programs must be informed of the current
Board-approved, signed agreement for the articulation of program graduates into
the next level of nursing education.
(9) Student applicants must be informed of
expected transportation and distance requirements for nursing practice
experiences.
