Invasive Procedure Statement

Students in the WCC ADN program are legally responsible and accountable for all their actions while providing care to patients/clients. Student performance in the clinical area must always be guided by concern to patient/client safety. In the interest of patient/client safety, the performance of invasive procedures, such as parenteral drug administration (injections, IV push medications, secondary or piggy back medications) requires the direct observation of the clinical instructor or the designated registered nurse. Students may be immediately and permanently dismissed from the ADN program for any unsafe practice, such as the failure to secure the required supervision when performing invasive procedures.
