Might national nursing examinations or clinical placements be deferred during a pandemic?
The College will communicate disruptions and changes to the examination schedule through the website. Educational institutions determine whether students are eligible to graduate. Their decisions are based on whether the students have met the school’s course/program requirements and are prepared to meet the College’s entry-to-practice requirements. If a pandemic prevents students from completing clinical placements, it will be up to the schools to decide whether students graduate. Nursing students are encouraged to discuss such concerns with their instructors.
