Supernumerary status is defined as you: not working as a paid member of staff or care team and not rostered as part of the workforce having a legal right to practise in the designated setting as a student rather than as an employee being overseen in your practice learning by your practice tutor (PT) who has responsibility for facilitating access to practice learning opportunities to enable you to fulfil the NMC s experience requirements and achieve its specified competencies receiving supervision and support from a mentor who is employed by your employing organisation and whose name appears on the live register of mentors.

8 Signature verification record This signature verification record should be completed by your practice tutor, mentor and all other qualified practitioners who observe and assess your practice. For a registered nurse to act as your mentor they must meet the following criteria: be qualified in the same field of practice as the one in which you intend to practise, i.e. either adult or mental health nursing have completed a minimum of one year s post-qualifying experience in the same field of practice as the one in which you intend to practise have completed mentor preparation as specified by the NMC s standards to support learning and in practice (NMC, 2008) comply with NMC standards related to continuing to act as a mentor have completed an induction to the OU BSc (Hons) Pre-registration Nursing Programme. Mentors must commit to: facilitating your practice-based learning providing supervision commensurate with your competence and confidence liaising with colleagues to access feedback on your practice performance liaising with your practice tutor as required through agreed methods of communication participating in the three review meetings with you completing practice records being accountable for the of your practice performance alerting your practice tutor to any concerns about your capacity/ability to meet the standards of conduct and health required of a student of nursing. A registered nurse who does not meet the above criteria cannot take on responsibilities for you. It is therefore important that prior to summative you check that all the above criteria are met and if not, you must discuss the situation with your PT so alternative arrangements can be made. Mentors who summatively assess your practice must be registered on the same part at the same level of the register as you are seeking to enter. Nurses registered at level 2 can contribute to supporting your learning and providing supervision; however, they cannot undertake summative. KYN237 Portfolio 8
