Myers School of Nursing and Health Professions!  \nThe nursing student handbook is prepared for all graduate nursing students at York College of Pennsylvania (YCP) . It is intended to serve as a guide to established policies and practices of The Stabler Department of Nursing and should be used in conjunction with the 2026-2027 Graduate and Professional Programs Catalog and Graduate and Professional Student Handbook.  \nAll courses, policies, and procedures listed in this handbook are administered under the academic policies of York College, which are fully described in the 2026-2027 Graduate and Professional Programs Catalog. The Catalog contains the official college-level statements of policy and procedure, and every student, parttime as well as full-time, matriculated, as well as non-matriculated, should be familiar with it. Graduate and Professional College Catalogs are available to view online.  \nBoth the College Catalog and this handbook are prepared based on the best information available at the time of publication. Changes or updates to the College Catalog will be posted on the York College of Pennsylvania website. The College Catalog is generally updated annually. While the handbook is updated annually online, changes or updates to the handbook, which may be necessary throughout the academic year, will be announced by way of email to all currently enrolled nursing students. The email will come from me or the Director of the Nurse Practitioner program.  \nStudents are responsible for understanding and adhering to all current policies of The Stabler Department of Nursing and York College of Pennsylvania.  \nThe Stabler Department of Nursing 2026-2027 Graduate Nursing Student Handbook is available on the York College of Pennsylvania website at Graduate Nursing Student Handbook.  \nPlease review this handbook and sign the Graduate Nursing Student Acknowledgement Form using this link: Graduate Nursing Student Handbook Acknowledgement Form.  \nBest wishes for success this year!  \nAbbey LeCompte, MSN, CRNP  \nInterim Director, Graduate Nursing Programs  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nGRADUATE PROGRAMS IN NURSING OVERVIEW 4  \nINTRODUCTION 4  \nHistory of the Graduate Programs in Nursing 4  \nGraduate Program Outcomes 5  \nCOURSE SCHEDULING, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, RE-ENROLLMENT, DEFERRAL 6  \nCourse Scheduling 6  \nContinuous Enrollment 7  \nLeave of Absence Policy 7  \nRe-Enrollment 7  \nDeferral 8  \nACADEMIC POLICIES 8  \nDegree Completion Policy 8  \nTransfer Credits 8  \nGrading Progression, and Dismissal 8  \nGrade Appeal 9  \nAcademic Integrity Policy (Philosophy Statement) 9  \nAcademic Professionalism 10  \nAcademic Advising 11  \nSTUDENT POLICIES 11  \nStabler Department of Nursing Privacy and Confidentiality Statement 11  \nSocial Media Use 122  \nSubstance Abuse Policy 12  \nPolicy on Unsafe Practice 133  \nStudent Accessibility Services 133  \nStudent Grievance Process 144  \nSTUDENT REQUIREMENTS FOR CLINICAL EXPERIENCES 144  \nProfessional Certification 16  \nBackground Checks 166  \nOnline Education 166  \nClinical Competency Assessment and Simulation Policies and Procedures 16  \nAGNP, FNP, and PMHNP Clinical 16  \nCompetency Based Assessment Labs for Nurse Practitioner Students 17  \nNurse Anesthetist Clinical 17  \nGrading for Clinical Experiences 188  \nGraduate Student Requirements for Satisfactory Clinical Evaluation 18  \nSIMULATION 18  \nUniform Requirements 19  \nAccidents/Exposure to Infectious Materials 199  \nNURSING ORGANIZATIONS, COMMITTEES, AND SURVEYS 20  \nInternational Honor Society of Nursing, ETA ETA Chapter, York College of Pennsylvania 20  \nGraduate Committee and Graduate and Professional Engagement Board 20  \nEmployer Surveys and Other Surveys Throughout Each Program 20  \nNURSING CONVOCATION AND OTHER GRADUATION EVENTS 21  \nMASTER OF SCIENCE IN NURSING PROGRAMS 21  \nMaster’s Level Curriculum 22  \nP","cbCaikSjEZWQ7ini","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikSjEZWQ7ini","pdf",674175,27,"English","# GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN NURSING OVERVIEW\n## INTRODUCTION\n## History of the Graduate Programs in Nursing\n## Graduate Program Outcomes\n# COURSE SCHEDULING, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, RE-ENROLLMENT, DEFERRAL\n## Course Scheduling\n## Continuous Enrollment\n## Leave of Absence Policy\n## Re-Enrollment\n## Deferral\n# ACADEMIC POLICIES\n## Degree Completion Policy\n## Transfer Credits\n## Grading Progression, and Dismissal\n## Grade Appeal\n## Academic Integrity Policy (Philosophy Statement)\n## Academic Professionalism\n## Academic Advising\n# STUDENT POLICIES\n## Stabler Department of Nursing Privacy and Confidentiality Statement\n## Social Media Use\n## Substance Abuse Policy\n## Policy on Unsafe Practice\n## Student Accessibility Services\n## Student Grievance Process\n# STUDENT REQUIREMENTS FOR CLINICAL EXPERIENCES\n## Professional Certification\n## Background Checks\n## Online Education\n## Clinical Competency Assessment and Simulation Policies and Procedures\n## AGNP, FNP, and PMHNP Clinical\n## Competency Based Assessment Labs for Nurse Practitioner Students\n## Nurse Anesthetist Clinical\n## Grading for Clinical Experiences\n## Graduate Student Requirements for Satisfactory Clinical Evaluation","[{\"question\":\"What materials should graduate nursing students use alongside this handbook?\",\"answer\":\"Students should use the 2026-2027 Graduate and Professional Programs Catalog and the Graduate and Professional Student Handbook together with the nursing student handbook to understand established policies and practices.\"},{\"question\":\"How are changes to the catalog and handbook communicated?\",\"answer\":\"Updates to the catalog are posted on the York College of Pennsylvania website.
