Student Handbook
The student handbook available on the School of Nursing's Resources Page includes important information for all students to remember throughout their time at Loyola. Please familiarize yourself with your handbook and refer back to it often.
Once you have read the student handbook and watched the videos on Professionalism and Intellectual Honesty, you will need to complete the Student Policy Verification Form and upload it to the appropriate section of CastleBranch as part of your CB requirements. The form will be available in CastleBranch itself, but can also be found as a stand-alone document on the Resources Page.
Practicum Orientation
The practicum orientation quiz is designed to introduce you to the pre-practicum process. It will guide you through the various materials on the School of Nursing resources page relevant to practicum and test your understanding of the process. Finally, it will ask you to acknowledge your responsibilities and type your name to serve as a digital singature.
