ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to be present for all scheduled clinical practice experiences and seminars.
Students who have extraordinary circumstances preventing attendance should explain these
circumstances to the course instructor prior to the scheduled clinical practice experience or
seminar. Instructors will make an effort to accommodate reasonable requests. A grade penalty
may be assigned for unexcused seminar or clinical absences. The faculty member will advise the
method of notification for absences to the clinical site e.g. phone, email, and notification of
facility.
ACCOMMODATIONS DUE TO DISABILITY
Each semester, students are responsible for requesting memorandum from the Disability Resource
Center to notify faculty of their requested individual accommodations. This should be done at the
start of the semester.
STUDENT HANDBOOK
Students are to refer to the College of Nursing Student Handbook for information about College
of Nursing policies, honor code, and professional behavior. Of particular importance for this
course are the sections on appearance in clinical practice areas, personal liability insurance, and
student safety.
TEACHING METHODS
NUR 4739L (3378, 3383, 3396, 3408)-Fall 2011- 8/15/11- CON Website-FINAL COPY Page 10
Supervised clinical practice experiences, post-conference, online (Sakai), seminar
LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Planned clinical practice activities, participation in seminar, community home, written analysis of
care, and assigned activities
EVALUATION METHODS/ COURSE GRADE CALCULATION
Clinical experience will be evaluated through faculty observation, verbal communication with the
student, written work, and agency staff reports using a College of Nursing Clinical Evaluation
Form. Faculty reserve the right to alter clinical experiences, including removal from client care
areas, of any student to maintain patient safety and to provide instructional experiences to support
student learning.
Evaluation will be based on achievement of course and program objectives using a College of
Nursing Clinical Evaluation Form. All areas are to be rated. A rating of Satisfactory represents
satisfactory performance and a rating of Unsatisfactory represents unsatisfactory performance.
The student must achieve a rating of Satisfactory in each area by completion of the semester
in order to achieve a passing grade for the course. A rating of less than satisfactory in any of
the areas at semester end will constitute an Unsatisfactory course grade.
The faculty member will hold evaluation conferences with the student and clinical preceptor, if
applicable. The faculty member will document or summarize each conference on the Clinical
Evaluation Form or Incidental Advisement Record. This summary will be signed by the faculty
member and student. Mid-rotation evaluation conferences will be made available to each student.
Final evaluation conferences with faculty members are mandatory and will be held during the last
week of each clinical rotation. A student may request additional conferences at any time by
contacting the faculty member.
