the capacity of a “nurse extern” under the direct supervision of a registered nurse in accordance with 201 KAR 20:400 Section 5. In situations where the student is functioning as an employee (not as a SON student), no part of the uniform which would identify the wearer as a student of SON may be worn. The professional liability insurance required to be carried by each student covers the individual only while functioning in a student role within assigned clinical areas. It does not protect the student while functioning in private employment. Students may not document in the electronic medical record under their private employee account while acting as a student nurse during a clinical course. The SON assumes no responsibility for student activities performed as an employee of an agency. Students are personally responsible and liable for any activity they participate in while employed. Students who practice illegally (i.e., outside of the scope of the Nurse Practice Act) may jeopardize their future as persons convicted of violations of the Nurse Practice Act may be ineligible to sit for NCLEX-RN and receive licensure.
