Progression Policy for Undergraduate Nursing/Midwifery Students

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT), Department of Nursing, Midwifery and Early Years in partnership with the Health Service Executive (HSE), RCSI Hospital Group, Saolta Hospital Group and St John of God North East Services are committed to educating undergraduate nursing and midwifery students to an optimum standard of nursing/midwifery clinical competence across all disciplines. The background to the following policy is the need to provide guidance to students and educators in relation to undergraduate nursing and midwifery students who are not achieving the required level of competence in respect of clinical instruction during clinical placements. The specific needs of each student will be dealt with on an individual basis.
