18 NURSING 222 COURSE GRADING I. Academic Grading Scale - A minimum grade of C is required to progress to the next nursing course. A = % B = 80-89% C = 75-79% II. Theory Grading: 2 Exams at 60 points each..120 points Final cumulative exam at 100 points 100 points Pharmacology Test points ATI Maternal Newborn Nursing points Postpartum Teaching Presentation & Paper...CR/NC Labor and Delivery Paper...5 points Newborn Assessment Paper...5 points Medication Administration Test * CR/NC Observational Experience Papers...CR/NC TOTAL POINTS for exams only..220 Required to attain 75% = 165 TOTAL POINTS including projects = 243 *Calculators may used on Medication Administration Test, not Theory exams III. Course Rules and Regulations A. In order to achieve a passing grade in N222 a student must have a minimum of 75% on the three tests. If the student has not achieved an average of 75% on the three tests the student will not progress to N231 and must repeat N222. After this criteria is met, the written papers will be averaged in to determine the overall grade for N222. A minimum grade of C is the overall passing grade. B. Failure to complete any of the above assignments for N222 will result in a grade of Incomplete for the course. All clinical papers are due to the clinical instructor one week after the clinical experience. For papers that are worth points, one point will be deducted for each working day that the paper is late. A pattern of turning in papers late will result in a grade of NO PASS on the clinical evaluation form in the section dealing with professional role. 1 point will be deducted for every 5 misspellings, grammar and punctuation errors. Every project is to have a face sheet, use APA and follow the Student Handbook Guidelines. C. Clinical Lab Grading: Clinical performance is graded on a Pass/No Pass basis. 96% of all starred criteria must be passed and 100% of those which are double starred. In addition, all students must pass the section entitled Clinical Nursing Competencies Measured in All Aspects of Care and the skills lab competency evaluation on medication administration to a newborn. A student who receives a NO PASS as a final clinical grade will not be permitted to progress to N231. A No Pass [NP] clinical grade nullifies the final theory grade. All students will participate in the performance based competency assessment day as part of their clinical experience. 15

19 D. Testing: A 5% penalty will be assessed to any student taking a test in this course other than on the test date. The test makeup must be completed within one week of the test date. The student is responsible for notifying the faculty that they will be taking the test at another time and for rescheduling. Medication administration tests are given per the policy outlines in the student handbook. E. N225: Students are required to attend weekly skills lab. Students must call the instructor if they will be absent to arrange for makeup. F. N808 (Open Lab): Students are required to attend lab hours in order to receive course credit. Students must sign in in order to receive credit for the hours attended. N808 is a required course. In order to proceed to the next nursing course, students must receive credit (pass) in N808. G. Attendance N222: May miss no more than 2 theory classes/8 weeks N225: May miss no more than 2 skills lab sessions/16 weeks H.
