Classroom Etiquette
“Leave things better than you found them” is the motto that students need to adopt while in the School of Nursing program. It is the expectation of all students that they clean up after themselves in whatever room is used. The following tasks should be completed before students leave the Wilson Center for the day:
Classrooms:
- Tables and chairs cleaned (if needed) and put back in their original room/spot.
- Chairs pushed up to the tables.
- All white boards wiped down (unless faculty have requested differently).
- Floors and countertops are picked up and cleared of clutter.
- Clear away any extra paper lying on or around the copier.
- Lights are turned off.
Lounge:
- Tables and chairs cleaned (if needed) and put back in their original room/spot.
- Chairs pushed up to the tables.
- Floors and countertops are picked up and clear of clutter and cleaned.
- All dishes cleaned and put away.
- Lights are turned off.
Nursing Learning Center:
- Tables and chairs cleaned (if needed) and put back in their original room/spot.
- Chairs pushed up to the tables.
- Floors and countertops are picked up and clear of clutter and cleaned.
- All supplies and equipment cleaned and put away, per direction of the NLC Technology Coordinator and/or faculty.
- Lights are turned off.
While the School of Nursing wants students to feel “at home” in the Wilson Center as they use the rooms for classes and studying, please be respectful of the furniture, i.e. not putting feet up on the tables. Keep in mind the cost of the lab equipment and treat it with respect and care.
These guidelines should also be followed when at clinical sites.
