Explanation of Program /Clinical Rules
Clinical Compliance and Clinical Portfolio
ALL clinical compliance items must be uploaded to the Verified Credentials Website by the first class day of
each semester. Please contact Verified Credentials for inquiries in regards to clinical compliance items.
Failure to comply with uploading of clinical compliance items to the Verified Credentials web site will result
in dismissal from the Respiratory Program.
Items needed for the clincial folder are 6 sets of copies which include the following items: Immunization
Record including Hepatitis B Series or a KCTCS Hepatitis B wavier Form, MMR, TB skin test annually or if
exposed to TB, Tetanus shot every 10 years, CPR every two years, Annual Flu shot, Professional Liability
Insurance annually, Proof of Personal Health Care Insurance, Criminal Background Check before each
semester, Hospital Orientation/Attendance and Facility Compliance. One set of clinical compliance items are
to be kept in the Clinical Manual, the remaining 5 sets will be needed at other facilities as the student
progresses through the program and are to be maintained by the student until requested by Respiratory
Care clinical faculty.
Drug Screenings are mandatory and are conducted by Verified Credentials each semester and on a random
basis thoughout each semester as deemed by the DCE, Clinical Instructor, and/or Clinical Facility.
Failure of the student to maintain current and accurate mandatory clinical compliance items as listed above
will result in dismissal of the student from the Respiratory Care Program.
Facility Orientations are mandatory and failure to attend will result in dismissal from the program. All facility
name tags required are to be returned to your clincial instructor each semester or dismissal from the
program will ensue.
Note: The RCP-175 Clinical will meet in the Laboratory of the Respiratory Program from January 4, and
January 11, 2016. The RCP 200 Clinical will begin tentatively January 25, 2016.
ALL objectives and check-offs must be completed unless otherwise directed by the instructor or the student
shall receive an INCOMPLETE for the course.
Students are allowed two attempts to complete check-offs; if a third attempt is needed and done
unsuccessfully, the student will be recommended for dismissal from the program
Clinical Manual must be reviewed each day by your instructors. Attendance sheets, Daily Evaluation, Daily
Logs, Physician Interaction sheets, and Objectives/Check-offs must be kept up DAILY! It is the students’
responsibility to have an instructor check your clinical manual daily.
Note: If the student fails to keep his or her notebook in order that is lacks forms, signatures, or any data that
is used by the instructor to calculate a grade, the student will receive a Clinical Manual Insufficiency Form
with an explanation of the clinical manual insufficiences and recommendations from the DCE and the clincial
instructor. The student will sign a statement of understanding in regards to the Clincial Manual/Behavioral
Insufficiencies. The student will have a section for their comments in regards to the the DCE and clincial
instructors noted Clinical Manual/Behavioral Insufficiences.
UNSATISFACTORY includes but is not limited to: Improper patient care, risking his/her own life, that of
his/her peers, or that of a patient, grossly ignoring policies and procedures, inappropriate clinical behavior,
excessive absence, failure to adhere to confidentiality, performing procedures on a patient when the
student has not been checked-off on the particular procedure in the lab, inability to successfully complete
check-offs, possession of a cell phone in the clincal setting, and any other critical behavior/action (use of
alcohol, etc.) shall be grounds for unsatisfactory clinical grades and result in the student being dropped from
the respiratory care program!!
Attire and Behavior
The complete clinical uniform includes the following: clean, neat, pressed scrubs in designated color,
matching or white socks or hose (no footies), clean, white leather shoes, clean, white, pressed lab coat, watch
with second hand, stethoscope, clinical manual, name badge, notepad, and pen. No Body piercings of any type
allowed in the clinical facility. Tattoos are to be covered and not visible. Failure to adhere closely to these
uniform requirements may result in loss of points and/or being sent home with an unsatisfactory grade! The
instructor usually sends students home if the uniform requirements are not followed.
Keep in mind that NO scents should be worn during clinical—perfumed lotions, powders, perfumes or
aftershaves due to the Respiratory patients, such as Asthma patients who have very sensitive airways. Also,
jewelry or nail polish should not be worn. Absolutely, No acrylic or artificial nails are allowed. In some clinical
facilities, artificial nails are grounds for dismissal because studies have proved that artificial nails harbor
bacteria, which could be harmful to the immunosuppressed patient. Students may wear his or her wedding
ring only. Studies have shown that jewelry harbors bacteria which can be transmitted to the
immunosuppressed patient.
The student should behave professionally at all times while in the clinical setting. He/she should avoid
speaking loudly, horseplay, profanity, etc. Professional behavior includes appropriate grooming. The instructor
will send students home from the clinical site for failure to adhere to grooming policies.
Professional behavior includes courtesy and respect—two things, which should always be part of your daily
activities in clinical. As students in these facilities, we are “guests.” All therapists, nurses, physicians, other
healthcare personnel, and especially patients, deserve our most professional behaviors and attitudes.
ALWAYS. Confrontation of any type will not be tolerated and may be grounds for dismissal from the program.
Any student who has a problem with a therapist, nurse, patient, etc. should see the instructor or department
head immediately for assistance and should not put himself/herself in any situation which may be harmful.
While students must be assertive, they should not be aggressive!
Clinical progress shall be evaluated at mid-term, end of the rotation, and as deemed necessary by the
instructor.
All students will be traveling to various clinical facilites. Students should be prepared to travel. Students will
work day, evening and night shifts as deemed necessary by clinical faculty.
Students are not allowed to leave clinical early.
