Philosophy of Nursing

Mount Carmel College of Nursing provides educational programs in a Judeo-Christian environment which enhance the unique intellectual, moral, spiritual, and psychosocial development of the person. The faculty accepts responsibility to prepare professional nurses for theory based practice at the basic and advanced levels that reflects the values and standards of the profession.

Caring is integral to nursing, valuing the dignity and worth of persons, service to others, social justice, altruism, autonomy, and integrity. Nursing is the practice of caring behaviors founded upon the integration of general education and professional studies. Nursing involves the management of health care of individuals, families, communities, and populations. The nurse is a health care professional who enacts multifaceted roles to promote optimal health during all life experiences. Nurses work collaboratively with clients and multidisciplinary teams to design, provide, coordinate, and implement health care. They respond to the diverse and changing needs of society in the local community as well as the broader global community. Nurses are both knowledgeable and active in political, economic, and regulatory processes that influence health care practices.

Health involves the harmonious integration of all dimensions of the client; it is culturally defined, valued, and practiced. Health is a dynamic, lifelong, multidimensional process whether the client is an individual, family, community, or population. Changes in health status occur in response to the stressors and strengths of the internal and external envi-ronment. The nurse provides holistic, culturally competent caring interventions directed at assisting the client to promote health.

Baccalaureate nursing education provides the foundation for safety and quality in profes-sional nursing practice. Through a collaborative and interactive process, the self-directed learner develops the skills of critical thinking, effective communication, holistic assess-ment, caregiving, and leadership for professional practice. Clinical practice, which is the essence of nursing, is augmented through nursing theory and evidence based practice. Baccalaureate nursing education encourages lifelong inquiry for professional development.

Graduate nursing education provides the foundation for specialized roles in education, administration, and clinical practice. Research, theory for advanced practice, and strate-gies for validating and utilizing research findings are integral to graduate study.

Philosophy of Teaching

The faculty at Mount Carmel College of Nursing believe that teaching-learning is a dynamic, interactive sharing of knowledge that stimulates lifelong learning for both learner and educator.

We believe that both learners and faculty are responsible for a collaborative teaching-learning process. Students are responsible for engaging in learning opportunities while faculty are responsible for providing innovative nursing education based on theory and evidence. As faculty we pledge to maintain our expertise and to promote nursing knowledge.

We strive to create an intellectually challenging learning environment where faculty role model professional education and nursing standards. We believe in developing caring relationships with students that promote personal, academic, and professional growth.

We believe in developing the learner to his/her greatest potential through growth of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are hallmarks of the professional nurse.

College Profile

At Mount Carmel College of Nursing, students are able to take advantage of small classes, one-on-one instruction, the opportunity to form lifelong bonds with classmates, and personal contact with faculty, staff, and administration. A variety of co-curricular experiences exist to enrich the college experience.

Mount Carmel’s small size also means that instructors focus on teaching. Although faculty are involved in research and other scholarly work, publishing, and clinical practice, their first commitment is to enhance students’ professional preparation with comprehensive theoretical knowledge and rich and diverse clinical learning experiences.

The College shares a campus with Mount Carmel West, a hospital within the Mount Carmel Health System (MCHS). This affiliation with MCHS offers Mount Carmel College of Nursing students a wide variety of clinical experiences that include four acute care hospitals, community outreach programs, hospice, home health, and ambulatory care centers.

College History

Nursing education has been offered at Mount Carmel since the diploma program was established in 1903. The diploma nursing program graduated over 4,500 nurses and established a tradition of excellence in nursing education.

In 1985, forward thinking administrators and faculty began the move from a hospital diploma nursing program to a college offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Mount Carmel College of Nursing was formally established in 1988. The first class of students was enrolled in Fall Semester 1990.

A special track for registered nurses who wish to earn a BSN was added to the nursing program in 1996. An on-line Registered Nurse Refresher Program was developed in 2003. An Online RN-BSN program was initiated in May 2011.

A graduate program offering the Master of Science (MS) was initiated in Fall 2003. Currently the college offers specialty tracks in Adult Health, Nursing Administration, Nursing Education, and Family Nurse Practitioner. Graduates of the Adult Health track will have met the requirements to sit for the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) credentialing examination. In addition, the graduate will have met the curricular requirements for the National League for Nursing’s Academic Nurse Educator certification examination. The degree is authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. A Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education was initiated in Summer 2006.

General Education in The College of Nursing

General education is the foundation of professional education and provides the learner with the opportunity to develop the skills of critical thinking, independent decision making, and leadership, along with value formation and an openness to cultural diversity. General education integrates and bridges the disciplines. It weaves a cohesive pattern of meaning into the total life experience.

The practice of professional nursing is based on a synthesis of knowledge from the humanities, sciences, nursing theory, and research.

Consent forms are available from the Student Nurses Association (SNAM) faculty advisor or from the Office of Records and Registration. The student, if granted permission to attend, is responsible for all make-up work.

Employment Opportunities

Limited opportunities for student employment exist throughout Mount Carmel Health System hospitals. Both part-time and casual employment is available. Casual status provides no guarantee of work hours since these employees work on an as-needed basis, covering weekends, vacations, and other busy periods. Students should contact the Patient Care Services Recruiter in the Human Resources Department at any of the four hospital locations to learn more about possible employment opportunities.

College Newsletter

The College newsletter, The Carmel Rapper, publishes items of interest to Mount Carmel College of Nursing students. The newsletter is published bi-weekly; student information and participation are welcome

Student Handbook

All students receive a copy of the Student Handbook/Planner at the start of each academic year. The Handbook outlines the policies and procedures of the College. Students are held accountable for information contained in the Handbook and are encouraged to use it for reference. The College makes every effort to inform all students of policy changes in advance of implementation.

CPR Certification

Students enrolled in nursing courses with clinical or lab components must be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Current certification through either the American Heart Association at the BLS for Health Care Provider or Instructor/Trainer/Faculty level or the American Red Cross at the CPR for the Professional Rescuer or Instructor/Trainer/Faculty level is a prerequisite for enrollment in all sophomore, junior, and senior nursing clinical courses. Students who fail to meet this requirement will not be permitted to attend nursing classes or clinical experiences. There is no grace period. Students must provide documentation of current CPR certification. Responsibility to keep CPR certification current rests solely with the student.

Criminal Background Check

The law regulating the practice of nursing states that the Ohio Board of Nursing may deny a convicted felon a license or the privilege of sitting for the licensing examination (Section 4723.28 of the Ohio Revised Code). In addition, several of the agencies utilized for nursing clinical studies require students to undergo criminal background checks and may deny clinical access to persons convicted of specific misdemeanors.

State and federal criminal background checks are a mandatory annual requirement for all students enrolling in sophomore, junior, and senior nursing clinical courses. Students have the opportunity to be fingerprinted on campus at the start of each academic year. Results will be forwarded to MCCN from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and recorded by the Records and Registration office. Students not completing the background check on campus will be responsible for updating this requirement and ensuring that the results are forwarded to the Office of Records and Registration. Students failing to complete the required annual background check will not be permitted to continue in any nursing clinical course.

A background check which indicates evidence of a felony conviction (or certain misdemeanor convictions) may result in action including, but not limited to, dismissal from the Nursing Program.

Applicants for NCLEX-RN

Graduates who wish to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam are required to submit results of a criminal background check as part of the exam application.

Students electing to be fingerprinted on campus at the start of the senior year may request that a second copy of the results from the BCII and FBI be forwarded directly to the Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN). This will insure timely processing of the NCLEX-RN application and minimize delays in making a candidate eligible to test. No applicant will be eligible to test without the required current criminal records check completed and in his/her NCLEX-RN application file. Criminal records check reports cannot be mailed to the OBN by the applicant. Additional details can be found at www.nursing.ohio.gov/LicensureInformation.htm.

Senior students not completing the fingerprinting/records check on campus will be solely responsible for completing this NCLEX-RN requirement. All costs incurred are the responsibility of the student.

Academic Advising

Academic advising is an integral part of the student’s educational experience. To ensure timely resolution of problems and to ensure progression to graduation, the student must assume responsibility in the advising process. Academic advising is available through Academic Support Services and the Office of Records and Registration.

Tutoring Services

Mount Carmel College of Nursing offers a tutoring program to students at no charge. Student tutors are paid by the College. Requests for tutoring should be directed to the Coordinator of Academic Support Services.

Counseling Services

Each student is entitled to participate in the Mount Carmel Health Employee Assistance Program with services provided by HelpNet. This program helps individuals resolve personal problems and includes up to ten sessions with a counselor at no charge to the student. Appointments can be made by calling the 24-hour crisis line at 1-800-969-6162. Questions regarding this service can be directed to any member of the Executive Team.

Orientation and Convocation

Attendance at New Student Orientation (two separate days) is a requirement for all Fall Semester entering students. Attendance at the annual Fall Semester Convocation is also mandatory for all traditional pre-licensure and Second Degree Accelerated Program students enrolled at the College.

Health Services

It is recommended that all students have their own personal family physician and health insurance coverage. The College does not offer student health insurance.

• All freshmen students must have their health records completed before the end of Week 8 of Fall Semester.
• All transfer students must have their health records completed before Week 2 of Fall Semester.

Students not meeting these deadlines will have a Health Record “hold” placed on their accounts which may result in being withdrawn from courses or being prevented from registering for future courses.

Students requiring emergency care may utilize any emergency department (ED) at Mount Carmel Health. Students are responsible for the cost of emergency care and all charges incurred during an ED visit.

The student health program is coordinated by a registered nurse who is available weekdays. The program includes health guidance. The Student Health Nurse will carry out any specific physician’s orders for administering medications and appropriate treatments.

To insure that all students are tested annually, TB skin tests are offered by the Student Health Office every August, the week before and the first full week of scheduled classes. Group testing is offered to help the student remember testing dates and to insure compliance. TB skin testing will also be done in September, on a limited basis, for newly-admitted students. The cost of the skin testing is included in the student’s semester General Fee.

Students working in the health care field who receive TB skin tests elsewhere must provide documentation of their annual test.

Hepatitis B and Meningitis vaccines are available in the Student Health Office and are charged in accordance with the pharmacy list price.

Flu shots are mandatory for all students except for students who are a) allergic to eggs, b) allergic to the preservative in the vaccine, or c) have a medical condition that prohibits the student from receiving the vaccine. Flu shots will be provided free of charge for students (based on the availability of the vaccine) during the Fall Semester.

Health Requirements

All students must meet the following requirements prior to enrollment in the first nursing clinical course (NURS 204 ):

• A recent medical history and physical (within one year prior to enrollment in a clinical course) must be completed and signed by a nurse practitioner or physician.
• Immunization history must be complete (a student may continue in the clinical course while in the process of receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine series of three).
• A TB skin test.

Required immunizations and specific deadlines are listed in detail on the Student Health Form. A “Health Hold” will be placed on the records of all students who are non-compliant with health requirements/deadlines. This may result in a student being unable to register for a specific course or section.

Professional Liability Insurance

Pre-licensure program students are encouraged to purchase professional liability insurance prior to their enrollment in clinical nursing courses (Fall Semester of the sophomore year). The Mount Carmel Health liability insurance will cover students only when functioning in the role of a Mount Carmel student nurse. Information regarding professional liability insurance is available in the College office.

Registered nurses enrolled in the RN-BSN program are required to carry professional liability insurance.

Student Dress Code

The student dress code is detailed in the Student Handbook and is enforced with the goal of assuring a high standard of professional self-presentation. It is important for students, in their role as nursing students at Mount Carmel, to recognize their position as representatives of the College and the profession. Appearance and self-presentation must be commensurate with professional expectations.

Failure to comply with the dress code policy may result in disciplinary actions including, but not limited to, dismissal from the classroom or clinical site. Any adaptations to the policy due to cultural or health reasons are to be negotiated with the course coordinator or College administrators.

Student ID Badge

Students must wear and clearly display the student identification (ID) badge when on campus and at all times when in the role of a Mount Carmel College of Nursing student. ID badges are available from the Mount Carmel West Safety and Security Office.

Safety and Security

The Safety and Security Office of Mount Carmel West hospital provides security services for the College. Security officers are also available to escort students to and from their vehicles. Students are encouraged to use this service when on campus after dark.
