Jefferson College of Nursing Academic and Professionalism Standards

Jefferson College of Nursing's Student Handbook also includes an Honor Code, committing all students to academic integrity.

Jefferson College of Nursing's Student Handbook also incorporates Thomas Jefferson University's Community Standards.

Professionalism Charges at Jefferson College of Nursing
Jefferson College of Nursing's Student Handbook also includes a Statement of Professional Conduct setting forth professionalism requirements. If you engage in disrespectful, insubordinate, or other inappropriate behavior toward professors, clinical supervisors, clinical colleagues, patients, or others in your nursing education and clinical studies, you could face disciplinary charges. Professionalism issues can arise around poor dress, poor demeanor, intoxication or impairment in clinical practice, frequent tardiness or absences, and other conduct unbecoming of a nurse. Let us help defend you against professionalism charges.
Jefferson College of Nursing Disciplinary Sanctions
Jefferson College of Nursing's Student Handbook states the sanctions that College disciplinary officials may impose for violating the above standards. Those sanctions are progressive in nature, beginning with verbal and written reprimands, loss of credit for completed assignments, loss of credit for completed courses, lowered or failing grades for assignments and courses, up to probation, suspension, and dismissal. Don't let the progressive nature of the listed sanctions fool you. Suspension is often a default sanction, one that disciplinary officials are ready to impose unless you mount an effective defense.
The Impact of Jefferson College of Nursing Sanctions
Don't minimize the impact of disciplinary sanctions on your Jefferson College of Nursing degree and your educational and professional future. Dismissal from the program can, of course, completely prevent you from earning the degree. It may also prevent you from resuming or restarting a nursing program at another school. Schools are reluctant to enroll students whom other programs dismiss on disciplinary grounds. But even a suspension, probation, or reprimand can cause you to lose academic standing, academic awards, grants, scholarships, references, and recommendation letters. Fight disciplinary charges with our help. Don't give in to them and suffer their wide-ranging consequences.
