The logbook is a cumulative record of a student’s learning of nursing skills. It guides the student on all the skills they must acquire, ensures completion of the skills for each course within the specified timeframe, and provides firsthand information about the skills performed and mastered by students during their studies at the College of Nursing. It is essential for students to carry their logbook regularly during labs and clinical postings and to obtain a signature from their direct supervisor as they complete skills/procedures. Completion of all skills is compulsory for graduation in BSN; failure to complete all skills in the ADN results in a 10-mark deduction in NUR310 (Intensive Nursing Practice). If a student did not have the opportunity to practice a skill at a particular level, the incomplete skill must be completed during the next level.

There is no special uniform to wear inside the college. However, students should dress modestly and in a manner compatible with the customs and traditions of Kuwaiti Islamic society and the College of Nursing. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for males and females to wear shorts, tight tops, or shirts without sleeves.

The college administration has the right to prevent any student from entering the College if their uniform does not comply with the customs and traditions.

1. Verbal or written warning.
2. Referral to an investigating committee.
3. Suspension from study.
4. Expulsion from the college by a resolution from the Director.

The general of PAAET outlines the type of violation and provides the corresponding written evidence.
