Daughter is in nursing school. And YRMC hospital, and the VA. Are mandating the jab for her to complete her required clinical. No clinical,no nursing degree. Any legal advice?
A choice among priorities. If she is dead set against having the required shot, she has options. YMRC and the Prescott VA are not her only situations for doing her clinical work. although it may cost her some time to interrupt those and set up elsewhere. The faculty in her program can and should help her with such options.
She probably can not meet the local college requirement for the ADN degree without the clinical component required, but she very well may be able to sit for the state cert test anyway.
if she decides to face off against the requirement by those two entities, she should soon request relief from their requirement in writing with explicit reasoning and copies to all appropriate parties (document, document, document). In that communication, she should speak to the potential effect on her degree, certification and career as a result of their in-stream arbitrary and capricious action (most likely, any such requirement was not in any agreement she may have signed) and make certain that any unusual action is done by them. She should make her case, keep doing a good job in the clinical, document every thing/every day, and leave the action ball in their court.
Just some off-the-cuff ideas this morning. You may wish to consult with actual experts.
