=== RSTE Dress Code Policy === | |||
All students will dress in a professional manner, appropriate to the situation and according to the following guidelines: | |||
# RSTE students will wear navy scrubs (exception is for Grand Island students where pewter colored scrubs will be required), with or without a navy (pewter for Grand Island) or white lab jacket. The uniform top will be embroidered with the UNMC logo and the “Radiation Sciences” division name. All uniforms must be purchased from the UNMC bookstore. | |||
# A solid white or gray shirt may be worn under the scrub top and must be tucked into the scrub pant. | |||
# Flat, enclosed-toe, neutral colored shoes are acceptable. Socks must be worn at all times. | |||
# Proper UNMC photo ID and personnel monitoring devices must be worn at all times. The ID must be visible at all times to identify student status. | |||
# Simple jewelry may be worn with the uniform, i.e., small earrings, wedding rings, and watches. | |||
# Students assigned to a surgery rotation will follow the surgical dress code policy of the clinical facility in which he or she is rotating. | |||
Students are held responsible for their appearance and will be dismissed from clinic if inappropriately attired, groomed, or adorned per faculty standards. (Ex: artificial fingernails are not allowed, hair worn longer than shoulder length must be pulled back, etc.). If a student is sent home from clinic due to a dress code violation, the amount of time missed from clinic will be deducted from the student comp time allotment. | |||
=== Use of Technology === | |||
# Personal phone calls during clinic hours must be kept to a minimum. | |||
# No personal long distance calls are permitted on department telephones. | |||
# Personal technology such as iPods and cell phones may not be carried or used during clinic or class. Technology used for educational purposes may be used as approved by class instructors. | |||
# Computer use is permitted for the purpose of academic endeavors only with supervisor approval. | |||
=== Student Leave Time === | |||
'''Personal Time''' | |||
Students enrolled in the Division of RSTE are given 16 hours of leave time for personal affairs each semester. It is intended to provide necessary time for planned or unplanned events without jeopardizing the student’s attendance record. Regarding the use of student leave time, the following guidelines must be followed: | |||
# Unused time allotted is not transferrable to a successive semester. | |||
# Allotted hours may be used for such things as illness, funerals, medical and dental appointments, job interviews, or vacations. | |||
# All leave time for reasons other than illness must have prior approval of the program director. | |||
# Students taking more than the allotted number of hours will be required to make up the time according to the discretion of the program director. | |||
# Unauthorized absenteeism may result in disciplinary actions. | |||
# A student may be required to furnish satisfactory medical proof of illness, disability or dental work. | |||
# Students must contact the person in charge of the assigned clinical area and/or the program director 30 minutes prior to time assigned for arrival if they are unable to attend the scheduled day unless directed otherwise by their program director. | |||
# It is recommended that suspected and confirmed pregnancy be reported to the program director. Time lost due to pregnancy must be made up according to the decision of the program director based on the Radiation Protection and Pregnancy Policies contained in this document. | |||
# Full time students may request up to 5 days of funeral/bereavement leave in the event of a death of an immediate family member. Documentation may need to be provided upon request. | |||
'''Compensation Time Guide''' | |||
Provision of compensation time is intended to ensure fair, uniform, and impartial treatment for all students. Students may voluntarily choose to spend additional authorized time participating in clinic procedures over and above their scheduled hours as long as the student continues to perform in the student capacity, including direct supervision and holding only student clinical responsibilities. | |||
=== Student Employment Guidelines === | |||
Opportunities for student employment may exist in the clinic departments and may be initiated and/or discontinued as dictated by manpower needs. | |||
# Students may not take the place of regular staff in the clinical areas to which they are assigned. It is appropriate, however, for students to assume the responsibility for performing defined activities and tasks, with adequate direction and supervision, after demonstration of clinical competencies. | |||
# Students may be employed in a clinical setting outside regular educational hours, provided this work does not interfere with their academic responsibilities. In addition, student employment in the clinical setting is non-compulsory and is subject to standard employee policies. | |||
=== Personal Property === | |||
UNMC, the Department of Radiology or Radiation Oncology or your respective programs are not responsible for your valuable possessions. All valuables and money should be monitored closely by each individual. | |||
=== Inclement Weather Policy === | |||
Official cancellations of clinical assignments and/or RSTE classes at UNMC due to inclement weather will be concurrent with that announced on the radio and TV for UNO. In the event of cancellation during the day because of weather, students will be notified by their program director. In situations other than official UNO closings, students electing not to travel due to inclement weather conditions must contact their program director (or designee) and time will be deducted from their personal leave bank. Students that are at distance education sites will follow local community college or university cancellations. | |||
