Below is an example of a What s in the News extra credit posting. What s in the News (Example) Hyperbaric Treatments and Autistic Children (Title) In March 2009, the results of a randomized, double-blind controlled study on hyperbaric oxygen therapy on autistic children was published in BMC Pediatrics. The study found that 80% of autistic children had significant improvement in social interaction, eye contact, receptive language and cognitive awareness after 40 one hour hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Susan Smith (student name) (Hint) The student might find interesting What s in the News when they are preparing for their Ethics Discussion as they will be searching the internet for current information on a topic. Online Weekly Quizzes: There will be 8 quizzes for ADN 213 Nursing Today and Tomorrow. Six (6) Nursing2014 journal articles quizzes (usually 4 journal articles per quiz) Legal Aspects of Nursing quiz Delegation and management quiz The Legal Aspect Quiz and the Delegation Quiz will be available on D2L on a specified day and time (4pm - 1am) and will have an allowed length of time to take each quiz of 20 minutes. The other six quizzes from the nursing journal articles have 18-35 questions and are timed quizzes at 120 minutes for each quiz. The journal article quizzes will be available on D2L on specified Thursday evenings from 4pm to 1am. The only exception for the timed quiz is for students who have a disability and require additional time. In that case, the student needs to contact the faculty member prior to the start of quizzes to make other arrangements for the quiz. As outlined elsewhere in this syllabus, the characteristics of a student in a nursing program leading to professional
6 nurse licensure are: integrity, honesty, ethical beliefs and values, caring, compassion, self-direction, self-motivation, commitment, and respect. It is expected that nursing students conduct themselves with the stated characteristics while completing quizzes online. Before Beginning Your Quiz in D2L: Close down all other programs you may have running on your computer. Having multiple programs open may cause problems with your test, including loss of data. Make sure your computer is free of spyware and/or viruses. Recommend that you use Firefox when taking Tests in D2L. If you have a pop-up blocker, make sure it is turned off. Do not take the quiz during a thunderstorm, as the student may lose internet connection and lose the ability to finish the quiz. Do not open a new window or minimize a current window, D2L might throw you out of the quiz. Critical Care Nurse Meetings Students must attend two (2) American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) meetings. AACN meetings/educational presentations are held on Tuesday evenings. Check with the instructor for the specific time, location and topic. Usually, the meeting is at SIH (Carbondale) and includes a $5 charge for small meal. Your conduct and appearance at those meetings should be professional. Professional Continuing Education Program Students must attend a continuing education nursing program worth 8 contact hours. a. Must be preapproved by one of the instructors. b.

Please DO NOT take the journal out of the library as the other students will not have access to the journal. Many hospitals have the journal. Student can check online as many journal articles can be found online. The Library will have a folder at the Reserve Desk which will have all the nursing journal articles in it. The student can take the folder of articles to the copy machine and get their own copy to take home if they desire.
7 ATI RN Leadership Exams The student must take the ATI RN Leadership online practice exams (2010 A & B) and achieve a score of 90% on all exams. These exams should be completed before the Thanksgiving Break. The student must take the proctored ATI RN Leadership Exam which will be on the JALC campus as it is a secured national exam. Check with the instructor for specific date, time and location. Ethical Discussion Students will attend a dinner at a restaurant and participate in a discussion on an ethical issue, usually at Bennies in Marion. Students are divided by their section groups. The dates have been determined by the faculty and are posted in Moodle ADN 213 Nursing Today and Tomorrow. Each group will select their date from the established dates for Ethics Discussion on a first notification basis. Each section should select a representative for the group. Each student is required to obtain an article from the internet on the ethic topic. It can be either a pro or con article on the ethic topic; you can either agree or disagree with your internet article. Bring the article to the Ethics Discussion and be prepared to discuss it at the appropriate time. Give a copy of the article to a faculty member at the end of the discussion. Please do not select abortion as a topic. If the student is not able to attend the discussion group, the student can select another student group or the student can write a 4 page paper on the ethic topic decided by the original student group. Examples of past Ethic Discussions Monitoring handwashing Medical marijuana Euthanasia Cryogenics Withdrawal of food and fluids Stem cell transplant Organ transplants for Death Row inmates Mandatory organ donation Mandatory immunizations Working with impaired colleagues Use of placebos Professional videos Students are expected to view professional videos made made available on the D2L instructional site.
8 The nursing profession has entered into the 21st century and computerization is a fact of life in the implementation of patient care. The computer can assist the student to have contact with their fellow classmates, but more importantly, the computer is an excellent tool for health resources. But as an internet user, the student must be wise in deciphering what information is accurate and relevant. There are 5 computers available in the ADN Lab (room G211). There are computers located in the Career Assistance Lab (room C238); check on the door to the classroom for hours of operation. There are several computers located in the JALC Library, library hours are: Mon Thursday 7:30am 6:30pm, Friday 7:30am 4:30 pm.

Students are NOT to print power point handouts on the ADN LAB (G211) printer or in the Career Assistance Lab (room C238). Students are to print their material either from their personal printer or use the printers located in the JALC Library. Critical Note on Curriculum Testing and Program Continuation The student is enrolled in a nursing curriculum that leads to State of Illinois (or any state) registration as a professional registered nurse. As a profession, there is a legal expectation of professional duty to patients. This requires the student to engage in serious study of pathophysiology and nursing interventions. The profession of nursing requires that individuals be self-motivated and self-directed, and be able to use critical thinking skills to make clinical judgments and decisions about the safe and effective delivery of health care to patients. The student will be taking many national nursing achievement exams during the nursing curriculum. The student should review each syllabus to identify which national achievement exams are a part of the requirements for each course. ATI RN COMPREHENSIVE PREDICTOR EXAM (Mock NCLEX) This is a reminder to students that at the end of the ADN program in May, a week before final exams, students will be required to take the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam developed by a national nursing testing company, Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI). The ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam will cover questions in mental health,
9 pediatrics, maternity, medical nursing, surgical nursing, nursing process, leadership, providing a safe, effective care environment, maintaining physiological integrity, maintaining psychological integrity and promotion of health. The student is required to pass the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam at national average in order to pass the spring semester nursing class, ADN 220 Nursing Care of the Adult II. In preparation for this exam, students should review their scores on ATI RN Comprehensive Exams in each nursing area to identify their competencies and deficiencies. The student should seek remediation for any deficiencies, follow their individualized education plan, take achievement exams when required or when offered, study NCLEX-RN questions weekly and actively pursue competency in preparation for ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam and the NCLEX-RN Exam. The student should be actively utilizing a NCLEX-RN Review book or the ATI resource books throughout the academic year. If the student does not pass the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam with a score at national average, the student will receive an Incomplete (I) for ADN 220 Nursing Care of the Adult II and will be allowed one (1) more opportunity to pass the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam with a score of national average. If the student has not passed the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam after the initial testing and one (1) more attempt, then the student will receive a failing grade (E) for ADN 220 Nursing Care of the Adult II. The student will then be required to repeat ADN 220 Nursing Care of the Adult II. Re-entry into the program may be difficult as a student space may not be available. Repeat/Re-entry/Transfer Students A student who has failed a class (even if the student is continuing with other nursing classes) or who has left the ADN Program for academic reasons or personal reasons is required to RETAKE the ATI LPN STEP Exam prior to re-entry into the ADN Program and achieve a score at the national average score or above. Transfer students are also required to take the ATI LPN STEP Exam prior to entry into the ADN Program. The student has two attempts to achieve the national average score or above on the ATI LPN STEP EXAM prior to entry/re-entry/transfer into the ADN Program. It is recommended that the student begin this process the semester before the desired repeat/re-entry/transfer date. If the student is repeating ANY nursing class and that class is their terminal class and even if the student has taken the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam in the past, the student is required to retake the ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor Exam and meet the requirements listed under the section Critical Note on Curriculum Testing and Program Continuation. The student will be given the initial attempt and then a second attempt to get a score of national average before being allowed to repeat an ADN course.
