Water 

Please ensure your student has a water bottle each day. Mild dehydration is the main cause of many headaches and stomachaches seen in the clinic each day.

Snacks

Snacks are not kept in the clinic. Students are permitted and encouraged to bring a snack from home to enjoy during the day. 

Illnesses

RNs cannot diagnose, prescribe, or treat. Students and staff are encouraged to stay home if they are ill. 

Clothing

All students should keep a change of clothes in their bag. There is a very limited supply of clothes in the clinic. In the event of an accident, spill, rip, or other clothing malfunctions, students miss out on important instructional time waiting in the clinic for a clean set of clothes. 

Medications

Any prescription or over the counter medication must have a Medication Authorization Request form and turned in to the clinic. All medications must have physician order or signature (including all over the counter).  Medications are considered to be any pills, liquids, inhalers, sprays, eye drops, cough drops, or creams/ointments that are expected to relieve symptoms.  Medications must be in the original packaging and not expired. Prescription medications must be clearly labeled by the pharmacy.
