Breaks are given throughout the day at which time the students are allowed to go outside or utilize the break area. Students are not allowed in front of main entry to school during breaks. During lunch students are allowed to leave the premises but should return prior to the end of the lunch period. A designated break area is available for those students who wish to remain on the premises for lunch. Students may be in the rear of the school, the designated break area, or the student parking lot. Smoking is not allowed on campus grounds.
THERE WILL BE NO CONSUMPTION OF FOOD OR DRINK IN THE LAB AREAS EXCEPT WHEN DIRECTED BY THE INSTRUCTOR DURING CLASS ON FEEDING THE RESIDENT/PATIENT.
The Clinical Instructor shall always be notified before you leave the patient care area to take meals and breaks. The location of the student during meals and breaks shall be identified to the Clinical Instructor PRIOR to leaving the unit. Failure to notify the Clinical Instructor before leaving the patient care area shall be considered an abandonment of assignment and is, therefore, grounds for termination from the program.
