Technical Standards of the Department of Nursing
Briar Cliff University prohibits denial of university privileges to students
or applicants for admission on the basis of race, color, religion, gender,
national origin, age or disability. It is expected that all candidates meet
minimum technical standards to function successfully as students.The
following general abilities have been identified as necessary to meet the
technical standards for admission: the student must possess the functional
use of the sense of sight, touch, hearing and smell. He/she must also
possess a sense of equilibrium along with sufficient motor function to carry
out psychomotor activities required in nursing. Additionally, the student
must possess the cognitive and affective skills to perform the assessment
and intervention activities required in providing nursing care.These general
abilities will be required to meet the objectives of undergraduate courses
and will be evaluated throughout the program.
Appropriate auxiliary aids and services for persons with impaired sensory,
manual, or speaking skills will be provided unless providing same would
fundamentally alter the course or would result in an undue burden.
