Confidentiality is of primary concern. Records are released only on signature of student or court order.  The nurse takes the position that, as the health director/provider, the nurse must maintain the same confidentiality that is expected from the physician.

The only time that confidentiality is broken would be if the student were a potential threat to himself or others. The Dean of Student Affairs and the Provost would be notified and appropriate steps taken for the student’s protection.
