Star Canyon School of Nursing is committed to ensuring the safety of students and staff in the classroom and at clinical. In response to the COVID-19 virus, we have implemented several measures in accordance with CDC guidelines. All students are provided with PPE during class and lab in the form of masks, gloves, and ample hand sanitizer as well as disinfectant. Masking and social distancing must be practiced at all times in our programs. If you do not have a proper mask or face shield, we will provide one for you. Student temperatures may be routinely checked before the beginning of class and upon entering labs.

As the need for properly trained care providers has become more urgent, our faculty and staff are increasing their efforts by assisting students as much as possible to successfully obtain their licenses/certificates and pass their exams or state boards. Our open lab hours have increased and students may schedule additional lab practice outside normal hours. We have also increased our efforts to help students secure employment during and after our program. Please see our jobs board to learn more or stop by for a visit and ask us about job placement assistance.

During these times, all students and staff are asked to practice especially good hand hygiene (as they are trained), and to be extra mindful of not touching their face after touching high traffic surfaces. Students and staff are strongly encouraged to visit cdc.gov for the latest and most accurate information and to contact their care provider and begin self-quarantine if experiencing flu-like symptoms.
