What is C.A.R.E.?
CARE is a program developed to care for intoxicated students who are in danger of hurting themselves or others.
CARE provides students with proper medical attention and a safe environment in which to recover.
CARE is implemented by Creighton staff.
Residence Life Staff, Student Health Aides and Public Safety work together to identify intoxicated students and administer Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) tests as needed.
If students register at or above the state legal alcohol limit of 0.08, they are immediately transported to the CARE facility at Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC) for medical attention and recovery.
How Does C.A.R.E. Work?
1. Student shows observable signs of intoxication:
2. Parents Notified
3. Student Transported to Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC) C.A.R.E. Unit
Students are evaluated by a physician in the Emergency Room.
4. Education/Critical Thinking
C.A.R.E. also gives students the opportunity to take a look at the ?bigger picture? of their life. Where are they, what has brought them here and where are they headed? These are all questions that are critical to consider at this junction. C.A.R.E. is not the result of you being unlucky or ?getting caught.? It signifies that there is something going on with the student? some behavior or attitude that has lead them to C.A.R.E. and to this moment. Students should be reflective?they have their life and their future to consider. What does this experience say about you or your life? What will make the difference for you and what will it take to help move forward from this experience?
