The purpose of the following information is to provide administrative guidelines and procedures for the University of Kentucky College of Nursing. All policies and procedures established by the University of Kentucky are considered the acceptable standard for all employees of the College. The guidelines listed below are consistent with the University’s administrative regulations, business procedures, and policies, but they are not intended to be all-inclusive.
