COVID-19
COVID-19 for the School of Nursing
COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended for nursing students for their safety and the safety of their patients.
Students who choose to decline COVID-19 vaccinations must schedule a meeting before the program compliance deadline. To schedule an appointment for COVID-19 declination, begin with an email to Linfield's compliance-related email inbox, schoolofnursing@linfield.edu.
During this meeting, students discuss COVID-19 declination ramifications. This includes health and safety risks as well as potential impacts on clinical site opportunities.
Missing scheduled clinical experiences in a course for any reason, including illness or isolation from exposure to COVID-19 or clinical site policy changes concerning COVID-19 vaccination, may lead to progression issues or necessitate a leave of absence.
