I begin nursing school in January, and have lots of forms to fill out. I have no problem with all but one of them. This form is a treatment consent form and it states that "attendance in the program will not be allowed" without it. Here is what I am required to sign, verbatum:
"I hereby give my consent to XXXXX, under emergency conditions, or when I am unable to be contacted, for administration of anesthesia and performance of any operation, any special examination and/or treatment necessary and advisable by the Employee/Student Heath Office."
"I also consent to any immunization advised by the Employee/Student Heath Office."
Is this a normal and common type of consent? I bolded the second part b/c I do not like the wording of it! I want the right to refuse certain vaccines, such as small pox and meningitis, and do not want to be forced out of the program just because I sign this form and refuse an "immunization advised."
I would love to hear from other nurses and students about this. Am I normal to question this kind of consent?
