Nursing Program Graduate Student Handbook
Greetings!
Welcome
to the Brooks College of Health and the School of Nursing! We hope that the pursuit of a graduate
nursing degree from the University of North Florida will be an exciting and
challenging venture for you.
We
are confident that you will find the fine faculty and staff of the School
supportive of your commitment to educational achievement. We are enthusiastic about out facilitative
role in the learning process and welcome you as nursing students and as adult
learners.
The
School of Nursing Graduate Student Handbook is meant to serve as a supplement
to the UNF Catalog and the UNF Graduate Student Handbook. It is a guide and a source of information
for you while you are enrolled in the UNF nursing program. Please read it carefully from that
perspective, and keep it in an accessible place so that you can refer to it
for information on the School
of Nursing policies and
services when you need them. If you
have any concerns in regard to the policies of the School and/or content of
this handbook, I would encourage you to discuss this with the students who
represent your class on the School
of Nursing committees
and with the faculty. A mechanism does
exist for hearing students’ issues and concerns and changing policies as
appropriate.
Sincerely,
Lillia M.

Handbook Disclaimer
Students
are responsible for knowing the University of North Florida, Brooks College of
Health, and School of Nursing policies as outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog and this Handbook (which is a required text
in every nursing course). In particular, students are directed to the Undergraduate Catalog for information
on the Drug Free Workplace Act, on Sexual Harassment, and on Religious
Holidays.
In addition to this guide, you are advised to
read the Graduate School Student Handbook as it provides general information
applicable to ALL graduate students regardless of their programs of study. While this handbook contains valuable
information specifically related to graduate studies in Nursing at UNF, the Graduate School Student
Handbook addresses policies, procedures and resources related to graduate
studies in general at UNF. It is your
responsibility to review the information both in this handbook and in the Graduate
School Student Handbook as you will be held responsible for abiding by its
content.
