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 as one of its top priorities. During these unprecedented pandemic conditions, Lakeview continues to follow federal, state, and local guidelines to implement 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, 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. All students must adhere to these policies and protocols and national, state, and local guidelines for their well-being and those around them. Students are expected to comply with the LCN safety policies and protocols related to COVID-19, including the protocols 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. Students are responsible for monitoring 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 per 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 or may never become symptomatic. Because of its highly contagious and sometimes “hidden” nature, it is currently challenging 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 enhance its efforts to maintain a safer environment continually. However, by deciding to return to campus, each student acknowledges 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 following 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 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.
