Instructors: Lecturer: Clinical Instructors: Patricia Pence: office B307; ; (home); (cell); pat_pence@ivcc.edu Office Hours: Tuesday 10-12:30. Thursdays 10-12:30 Lena Alfano: office B311a, ; ; lena_alfano@ivcc.edu Ann Bruch: office B219; ; anna_bruch@ivcc.edu Julie Hogue: office B310; ; julie_hogue@ivcc.edu Karie Stecken: office B311a; ; karie_stecken@ivcc.edu METHOD OF EVALUATION: Grading Policies % of classroom theory is the minimum grade required for passing theory. Grade percentages are not rounded up. Students who do not pass a test with at least 80% must submit a completed learning contract by or in person to the lecture instructor, outlining the specific plan to improve the next test grade. Failure to submit a Learning Contract may result in a Need for Professional Development. Test questions may be generated from any component of this course. All tests are comprehensive. 4

5 Students are expected to take all tests on the designated days. When missing a test, the SN must notify the lecture instructor within 24 hours about a make-up test and make an appointment at the Assessment Center to take the test. Failure to take the test on the designated day will result in a zero (0) for the test. Missed tests need to be completed before the next scheduled test. According to the nursing handbook, only one test can be missed per 8-week period, more than one will require a letter of appeal. The make-up test could be paper/pencil, computer based, or an oral test, to be determined at the discretion of the nursing instructor. It may NOT be the same test given to the rest of the class, but may be made up of different questions that cover the same content. Student s grade is based on cumulative total points, which are then recorded as a percentage of the total points for the course: #Of SN test points # Of total test points for course = SN percentage (course grade) (Do not average the percentages of each test). The grading scale is in accordance with the nursing handbook. Grading Scale % A 92-86% B 85-80% C 79-71% D Below 71% F Students are encouraged to review their own test results after completing the test. When challenging answers to test questions, the SN must present written support from 3 professional sources in person, NOT by . This must be given in person to the instructor for review within one week following the exam review. 2. Passing grade (90%) on a Math Quiz. (See Nursing Handbook). 3. A Pass grade on all assigned WRITTEN PAPERS (As designated by portfolio grid). All written papers are due on the 4 th school day after caring for the patient. If each paper is not submitted on the designated day, it will not be accepted. The papers should be submitted at the college entrance desk or as the individual clinical instructor prefers. Any that are mailed should be mailed certified mail so that the student may submit the receipt as proof of mailing. The SN is ultimately responsible for papers that get lost or that pass the hands of people in between the SN and the instructor. 4. Passing (satisfactory) evaluation of CLINICAL PERFORMANCE: The SN will be evaluated during clinical times for progress in application of course content and all nursing skills expected at this level. Achievement of SATISFACTORY clinical performance is: a. Set forth by the clinical evaluation tool, and course objectives for this course. b. Satisfactory demonstration of the nursing process and all the nursing skills necessary to provide holistic patient care. c. Personal growth and development for appropriate professional nursing behavior. d. Submission of satisfactory written assignments Students must maintain satisfactory status in the clinical area as outlined on the clinical evaluation form. The clinical instructor evaluates the student s level of personal professionalism, ability to effectively implement the nursing process, and mature interaction with the health care team. Students are encouraged to make an appointment with their clinical instructor to periodically review their clinical progress. 5

6 Clinical Procedure Proficiency Criteria: 1. The SN must satisfactorily proficiency all the basic skills identified by the clinical instructor. The instructor assigns the procedure to the SN. The SN may clarify the procedure or any other details before beginning. 2. During the procedure the SN may ask the instructor about the situation but not ask the instructor to give him/her the steps of the procedure. 3. The proficiency evaluation may be discontinued at any time the SN demonstrates an inability to perform the procedure safely or adequately. If the SN is being evaluated other than the first time, the SN may receive a Critical Incident Citation. 4. The SN must demonstrate procedures safely and satisfactorily use 100% aseptic technique with consideration of the patient as a person rather than the object of a technique. The SN will use proper communication skills in all nursing interactions applying cultural diversity concepts. The SN will demonstrate the nursing process in giving complete nursing care to a patient within the clinical time frame allowed. The SN will maintain legal requirements, ethical standards, and institutional policies. The clinical instructor notes each SN s performance. It is the SN s responsibility to review such information periodically with the instructor. Portfolio: A complete and up-to-date portfolio must be presented to the clinical instructor at the time of the evaluation. Failure to do so will result in an incomplete for the nursing course. ATTENDANCE: Students are to attend lecture, college lab, clinical lab, and/or alternative experiences promptly as scheduled. Absenteeism and tardiness will be dealt with according to the nursing handbook policies, which may result in a Need for Professional Development. If you are late for class, you will be marked absent unless you inform the instructor of your tardiness by the end of class time. Note: (from the Nursing Handbook) Students must inform the clinical instructor by phone (or as specified by clinical instructor) if a circumstance prevents attendance in the clinical experience or seminar. PARTICIPATION: Students are expected to attend class/lab/seminar prepared with reading assignments and/or written assignments. Active participation in class discussions, lab activities, and clinical experiences is expected. Due to the vast amount of information to be learned, not all unit objectives may be addressed in class and labs. However, since the content most likely will be tested, the student is responsible to complete those objectives. Students are responsible for all materials covered during their absence. IMPORTANT: The lecture notes serve as an outline for the lecture material. Students are expected to bring the completed lecture notes to class. The student must prepare to fill in the lecture notes prior to class by reviewing podcast lectures, assigned readings, and other assignments. Students who present to class unprepared will jeopardize their success because they will find it very difficult to follow the activities scheduled during class. PERFORMANCE POLICIES: Students need to review and abide by the policies in the IVCC Nursing Handbook including those regarding Critical Incidents, Need for Professional Development, Program of Improvement, and Learning Contract. Failure to attain any one of the above criteria will result in failure of the course. Evidence of unsafe, ineffective, or unreliable nursing care will result in failure of the course regardless of exam scores or written assignments. 6
