# Getting Ready for Clinical Placement

### Getting Ready for Clinical Placement

Being prepared for each clinical practicum day is an important part of demonstrating professionalism and ensuring safe patient care. Students in the Seneca Nanji Foundation School of Nursing are expected to arrive at their assigned clinical placement ready to participate in scheduled learning activities and meet the expectations of their clinical agency.

Students must comply with the School of Nursing's **dress code, uniform and identification requirements**, and bring all necessary supplies and equipment appropriate to their clinical setting. Students are also responsible for following clinical agency policies related to personal appearance, infection prevention and control, and professional conduct.

**Students are expected to arrive on time, appropriately dressed, properly identified and prepared to provide safe and competent care within their assigned clinical responsibilities.**

The following sections provide information on expectations to help students prepare for a successful clinical practicum experience.
