Professional Conduct Students completing clinical education experiences within Ochsner facilities must comply with all policies as stated in the Ochsner Health Policy Search database in Ochweb, accessible onsite. Failure to do so may result in dismissal from clinical rotation. The following guidelines provide expectations for all stakeholders. In situations not explicitly covered in this handbook, ask your clinical rotation supervisor for guidance. Although only a small number of students knowingly violate policy, it remains necessary to constructively correct these situations
Reasons for disciplinary action include but are not limited to : Insubordination Excessive tardiness Leaving assigned area without permission Unacceptable personal conduct
Unsatisfactory performance Violation of rules and policies Failure to call in for anticipated or emergent absences/changes in schedule Unprofessional attitude Threats and/or acts of violence Any student who continues to demonstrate inappropriate conduct will be subject to the corrective action set forth by their respective academic institution and/or to dismissal from clinical rotation. Verbal Warning : In private, the clinical rotation supervisor will discuss concerns with the student and offer guidance to correct or improve the situation. This may include implementation of a professional improvement plan. A student may be dismissed immediately for any of the offenses listed above even if there is no prior record of wrongdoing. A student may also be dismissed for continually violating guidelines after being counseled by their clinical rotation supervisor. Serious offenses may be reported to the program’s licensing or certifying body. Attendance Attendance for clinical rotations is solely the student's responsibility. Students will adhere to program-specific attendance policies. Students will only be allowed onto campus during scheduled clinical rotation hours. If the student is unable to attend or has a change to a scheduled shift, the student must notify their clinical rotation supervisor and academic institution. Social Media Confidential and proprietary information about Ochsner, patients, and/or patient visitors must not be depicted in text, photo, or video posts, including but not limited Ochsner logos, badges, uniforms, and clinical areas. Patient privacy must be maintained at all times. Be professional, use good judgment, and be accurate and honest in communications. Ensure that social media activity does not interfere with or affect work commitments. Social media posts must not disparage or represent Ochsner as an entity. Ochsner strongly discourages “friending” and following of patients on social media websites and apps.
