MidAmerica Nazarene ABSN
The nazarene school I went to, we did have to sign a lifestyle covenent. basically saying we wouldn't smoke, drink ,so drugs, or gamble. However if someone has a problem with one of these things and self identifies and does the needed therapy at the on campus therapy center, then you did not get in as much trouble. The did "police" us to a certian extent, mostly through facebook. however the did not send people driving around looking for rule brakers. chapel was required for traditional undergrad students. adult study and graduate study students were not required to attend

no cell phones no personal phone calls at work
Only time I have ever used a cell phone while at work (not a nurse yet, at the time I was working in a day care center) was the day before one of my surgeries and it was the nurse who calls to make sure you are ok to have surgery. Talked to the director that morning, explained why I wanted to leave my cell on she said ok. I stepped outside the classroom for the 5 minutes or so it takes and took care of it then turned it off and went back to work. she felt that was a valid reason (especially because I was covering a shift for someone who called out anyway) and was OK with it, because I talked to her and didnt just do it. otehr then that it is always off at work.

Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

The OP asked a question "can the college be sued" and people were telling the OP no, there is no point in sueing. the op wasnt getting it as evidenced by other replies in this thread. I think part of why the OP is so upset is because we are not telling them what they want to hear, they wanted us to agree with them, and so that is wehre the upset
