Im a senior in nursing school. You are my instructor. If I dont want to come to class I dont have to tell you. I was just being courteous. And I was sick!
what are yours?
Im almost done and so glad its almost over!!!

My nursing school has a mandatory attendance policy, but in my previous degree I had professors who expected to be notified if you weren't going to be in class. So investigation might be unique to nursing school, but mandatory attendance and notification that you won't be in class certainly isn't.
Here's mine- only in nursing school do you have to provide medical clearance stating you're well enough to go back to class if you collapse during one of your labs.
