5 SCANS Students will be evaluated based on workforce expectations in accordance with the Secretary s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS). See clinical evaluation tool. Methods of Instruction This course includes both theory and lab components and will be team-taught by the instructors. The classroom format will be conducted primarily as lecture/discussion and problem-solving sessions. The student is expected to come to class prepared, by reading the assigned materials, reviewing computer software, as well as reviewing basic anatomy and physiology of the systems being covered. Review your Health Assessment text and your A&P text to accomplish this. The lab component may be partly accomplished in the classroom and partly as outside study. Students will receive additional assignments by individual instructors as a part of the lab component of classroom discussion and problem-solving sessions. The theory portion of this course RNSG 1417 and the clinical portion RNSG 1262 must be taken simultaneously. Any student who is unsuccessful in RNSG 1417 must retake both RNSG 1417 and RNSG Any student who is unsuccessful in RNSG 1262 must retake both 1417 and INSTRUCTORS J.

8 Note: An examination average of 75% (C) (495 pts) must be earned after averaging the unit exams and final exam prior to other course grades (lab points) being added. An average grade below 75% (C) will prevent the student from progressing in the Associate Degree Nursing Program. (Concurrent enrollment in the Clinical Nursing course RNSG 1262 is required. If a student needs to repeat RNSG 1417, he/she must also repeat the clinical course RNSG 1262.) I...Incomplete. No Incompletes or I grades will be given except for extreme circumstances. If an I grade is assigned and the course work is not completed by the prearranged time limit, this grade will convert to an F. *W...Withdrawal. It is recommended that the student talk to the instructor before withdrawing. Current course withdrawal information can be found in the printed version of the ACC Schedule for this semester or online at ACC Course Withdrawal Instructions. Students who file withdrawal requests by the published deadline and have not exceeded the withdrawal maximum will receive a grade of W. Late Course Work Policy: There is no late work accepted in this class. ATTENDANCE POLICY Theory/Lab: Students are expected to attend all theory and lab classes. It has been found that students who attend every class have better exam scores. Students are responsible for course content and readings for missed days. Preparation for class and lab is expected. Simulation days on campus count toward clinical attendance; please refer to RNSG 1262 syllabus for clinical attendance policy. Exam Policy Exam Taking Environment: During exams the following items are allowed on the desk: one scantron, a pencil/highlighter/pen, simple calculator, and blank sheet of paper. All other objects, coats, hoodies, books, backpacks, and PHONES are to be left outside the classroom or placed at the front of the classroom. No personal items, including cell phones, will be permitted around the desk area during any part of the exam, tiered-testing, or unit exam review. Any student in possession of a cell phone during the exam, tiered-testing, or unit exam review is considered to be cheating which will result in consequences for academic dishonesty. These consequences will extend to the entire tiered-testing group and affect both the individual exam score and tiered-testing scores. Unit Exams: Five (5) unit exams are given during the semester. Each unit exam is fifty (50) items. Sixty (60) minutes is allotted for each unit exam. All material covered in theory/lab, all reading assignments including selected articles, and computer software programs are possible sources for exam questions. Material to be covered on exams reflects an increasing need to critically think regarding patient care activities. Therefore, most of the exam items are application questions. Unit objectives from the syllabi provide a blueprint as a study-guide for each exam. See course schedule for exam dates. The exams are primarily multiple choice (except make-up exams). Bring a scantron for each exam.

9 The scantron is the official grading tool. Please take care when making your marks. No cell phones will be allowed in the student/desk area during the exams, tiered-testing, or test review period. (See ATI Exam Preparation Section) Pharmacological/Dosage Calculation Component: Pharmacology and safe medication administration is an integral part of medical-surgical nursing. Therefore, each unit exam will have dosage calculation and pharmacology questions included. Tiered-Testing: Immediately after taking the five unit exams (not the final exam) students may opt to re-take the exam in a small, randomly selected group. The student group will have 30 minutes to re-take the exam and submit one scantron for the group. Any student choosing to participate must submit her/his scantron when completing the initial exam, wait in the classroom until all others complete their initial exams, and then move to the small group. The small group will complete the exam together. After the group scantron is scored, the following percentage points will be added for each student. Tier Test Score Percentage Point Addition % % % Students will have an opportunity to check answers on the test booklet against an answer key once all tiered-testing is completed. Questions regarding exam items may be written on the answer sheet and will be reviewed by the instructors. Further help with exam items is available during the instructor s office hours. Successful Test Preparation In order to increase the student s ability to be successful, ATI preparation is recommended. The preparation will be based on the ATI software. Students may complete the review at the end of the corresponding ATI chapters or complete the ATI unit practice exams. ATI Assessment All students are required to take an ATI practice exam and a Comprehensive ATI Exam. Additional points will be added to the student s exam points for scoring greater than 75% on the Comprehensive ATI Exam at the end of this course. All students are required to take the exam. If the test is not taken, the student will receive an Incomplete until the requirement is fulfilled. ATI Practice Exam ATI practice exam access will be provided to the student two weeks before the comprehensive ATI exam. To earn 5 lab points students must achieve 90% or above on the ATI practice exam and turn in evidence of the achievement to faculty the morning of the Comprehensive ATI Exam. A score of less than 90% will not receive any points. The student will be able to take the examination once every 12 hours.

If the test is not taken, the student will receive an Incomplete until the requirement is fulfilled. Additional points will be added to the student s exam points for scoring a proficiency level 2 or 3 on the ATI exam. The additional points will be distributed as follows: Proficiency Level 3 = 2% exam points (10) Proficiency Level 2 = 1% exam points (5) Comprehensive ATI Exam The Transition proctored examination will be given as indicated on the calendar.

The additional points will be distributed as follows: % = 4% exam points (20) 75-86% = 2% exam points (10) Remediation/Focused Review When a student s Comprehensive ATI Exam score is below 75%, 5 additional lab points can be earned by doing remediation and focused review and by taking a second practice examination. Evidence of focused review and the second practice exam results must be turned in to faculty prior to the final examination. Lab Lab opportunities include but are not limited to case studies and simulation. Attendance and participation is required to receive credit. No make-up work is available. Code of Academic Integrity and Honesty Alvin Community College students are members of an institution dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge through a formalized program of instruction and learning. At the heart of this endeavor, lie the core values of academic integrity which include honesty, truth, and freedom from lies and fraud. Because personal integrity is important in all aspects of life, students at Alvin Community College are expected to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity both in and out of the classroom. Incidents of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and students guilty of such conduct are subject to severe disciplinary measures. Classroom Protocol It is the right of each student to participate in his or her learning, and it is the responsibility of each student to not interfere with the learning of other students. It is the expectation of the college that each student assumes the responsibility to follow college policies and procedures governing campus and classroom conduct.
