49 Clinic Cash and Pride Nominations

Clinic Cash is a small card that looks similar to cash but can be used in the IU Radiography Program to earn perks.  Only Clinical Preceptors and the Clinical Coordinator will award Clinic Cash.

Like a Pride Nomination from a technologist, when CPs take notice or observe students doing something above & beyond what is expected, they can choose to award a cash card.  It may also be awarded when exemplary professionalism or attitude is witnessed. Should the CPs catch a student showing random acts of kindness, this too may be awarded with Clinic Cash.

Clinic Cash collected can be used in the same semester it is awarded and/or saved and accumulated, using it in different clinic semesters.  The cash can be used to “buy” the items on the list below. A maximum of three (3) cash cards can be used per semester to buy a little extra “leisure or relaxation” time.  See the list below for details.

CPs will always write the students name on the back of the card, sign & date it when they give it out.  Only that student may use that cash.  Clinic Cash submitted without a student’s name on the back will not be accepted.  Clinic Cash cannot be sold, traded, loaned-out, or exchanged.  Clinic Cash has no monetary value, and it expires when the student graduates.  Cards that are lost or stolen cannot be replaced.

Use cash to buy a little extra “leisure time” (MUST be scheduled with CP at least one hour prior to start of shift)

  • 1 cash card for an hour’s lunch
  • 1 cash card to leave the clinic an hour early.
  • 1 cash card to arrive at the clinic an hour late.

Limitations:

  • no more than three (3) cards can be used in one semester.
  • Cash cannot be combined to increase the time away from the clinic.
  • Cash cannot be used for Saturday shifts and/or ½ P-days.
  • Cash cannot be used during clinical makeup days.

Pride Nominations 

Pride Nominations can be given to any student who displays excellent behavior, which is considered beyond normal expectations. It is a great way to recognize the wonderful effort our students are putting into their learning environment.

Any staff technologist or manager wanting to recognize a student’s outstanding behavior can give Pride Nominations.
