Behavior:  As BHS students we will be representing our school to our entire community.  We will maintain appropriate behavior.  We will not be allowed to continue trips to the hospital if our behavior is not superior.  Alternative work will be assigned if behavior is unacceptable.  Confidentiality must be maintained.  Any breech in confidentiality will result in removal from all trips.

     I have read the above and agree to follow our school’s behavior guidelines.  I understand that I may be held liable if I break confidentiality laws.  I also understand that there is some risk involved in caring for patients, however, I will follow the instructor’s directions for infection control to protect myself as well as the patients.
