Providing clear information on the first day of what is expected of the students is a cruical point for the rest of the term. I found if a give an inch the students will take a mile. I allowed students to text me during clinicals since I am not always with each one of them. I found with allowing this the students were texting during their clinicals and had their perceptor complain to me about the texting. I had to provide specific and clearer rules on the texting or contacting me with their cell phones. A more specific instruction was the student had to ask the perceptor if they could text me. This step made the student accountable for having their phone out during clinicals. In furture classes I will add this to the syllabus. Providing a clearer insturction and expectation of cell phone use during clinical times to the syllabus leaves no room for interpretation for the students.
