General NLRC Guidelines

Junior Nursing Students in the NLRC

Users of the NLRC must sign in before using any of the resources of the lab.  The sign-in sheet is located at the desk.

Please refrain from eating in the lab.  Bottled water is allowed in the lab but we ask you to keep your drink with your back-pack.  Your back-pack may be left in the open cubicles or you may use your assigned locker.  You are responsible for any of your valuables, it is not under lock and key in the lab.

We ask you to work with us in taking care of this area and the equipment.  We have two hospital areas (101 & 105) and one clinical area (102c).  Remember to remove bedspread to the foot of the bed and sit on the beds for physical exams with shoes removed.  Replace bedspreads, physical exam bed paper, and leave equipment in place and tidy the area before you leave.  Report any equipment problems or other concerns to the NLRC coordinator's desk.  Only the NLRC staff has permission to locate equipment and supplies in the cabinets and storage areas.  We are glad to help you and are available for any questions you might have.
