To the Health Care Professional: PLEASE READ I have, this day, given ___________________________________ a thorough physical examination and based on my findings, which include medical history and physical examination; I believe he/she is physically and mentally able to undertake the Nursing Assistant Program at Delaware County Community College. The student is in good health. He/she is free of any communicable disease, can lift 50 pounds, and has no known deficits that would interfere with the ability to participate in a clinical setting. It is essential that nursing students be able to perform a number of physical activities in the clinical portion of the program. At a minimum, students will be required to lift patients, stand for several hours at a time and perform bending activities. Students who have a chronic illness or condition must be maintained on current treatment and be able to implement direct patient care. The clinical nursing experience also places students under considerable mental and emotional stress as they undertake responsibilities and duties impacting patients’ lives. Students must be able to demonstrate rational and appropriate behavior under stressful conditions. Individuals should give careful consideration to the mental and physical demands of the program prior to making application.
