Lakeview College of Nursing relies on the integrity of individuals to follow the guidelines set forth.
Due to the ever-evolving nature of COVID-19, Lakeview College of Nursing will post information regarding pandemic procedures, guidelines, and updates at https://info.lakeviewcol.edu/covid-19-lakeview-college-of-nursing-information.
Lakeview College of Nursing considers the health, safety, and well-being of its students and community to be one of its top priorities. In the midst of these unprecedented pandemic conditions, Lakeview continues to follow federal, state, and local guidelines to put in place extensive provisions and protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at Lakeview. Lakeview takes its responsibilities seriously, and the college counts on its students to take their responsibility to comply with safety practices and protocols seriously as well, understanding that some risks lie outside of anyone’s control. LCN cannot guarantee a completely COVID-19-free environment. However, to address the health and safety of the LCN community and reduce the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 virus, LCN has created policies and protocols for mitigating the spread of COVID-19. Taking steps to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 infections at LCN is a shared responsibility. It is critical that all students adhere to these policies and protocols, as well as national, state, and local guidelines, for their own well-being and the well- being of those around them. Students are expected to comply with the LCN safety policies and protocols related to COVID-19, including the protocols set forth for quarantine and vaccination.
The LCN policies and protocols for responding to COVID-19 may be updated at any time, as additional information about COVID-19 is obtained, and /or as additional guidance is issued from federal, state, and local governmental bodies and agencies. As such, students are responsible for continuing to monitor their LCN email for any updates. Failure to comply with the LCN safety policies and protocols related to COVID-19 may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the Lakeview College of Nursing Code of Student Conduct. By returning to the LCN campus, students assume the risk of exposure to certain dangers, including, but not limited to, possible exposure to communicable diseases such as the COVID-19 virus. COVID-19 is a highly infectious, potentially life-threatening disease declared by the World Health Organization to be a global pandemic. The disease’s highly contagious nature means that contact with others, or contact with surfaces that have been exposed to the virus, can lead to infection. Additionally, individuals who may have been infected with the COVID-19 virus may be asymptomatic for a period of time, or may never become symptomatic at all. Because of its highly contagious and sometimes “hidden” nature, it is currently very difficult to control the spread of COVID-19 or to determine whether, where, or how a specific individual may have been exposed to the disease. Again, you have LCN’s commitment to continually enhance its efforts to maintain a safer environment. However, by making the decision to return to campus, each student is acknowledging that he or she fully understands the risks associated with COVID-19 and is doing so freely and voluntarily. We are all in this together as we all commit to follow proper, known protocols to better contain COVID-19 here in our shared community.
Lakeview College of Nursing trusts that all faculty, staff, students, and visitors alike — will ultimately take responsibility for their own health and safety and act in a manner that demonstrates respect and consideration for those around them. We are committed to keeping our College community healthy and safe and will remain flexible as new information emerges and guidelines change, and we will respond accordingly. Federal and state authorities may force further modifications that could alter our current plans.
