Fuzy, J. (2007). The Nursing Assistant’s Handbook (2nd ed.). Hartman Publishing, Inc.
Fuzy, J. (2007). Workbook, The Nursing Assistant’s Handbook (2nd ed.). Hartman
Publishing, Inc.
Recommended/Optional:
American Heart Association (2006). American Heart Association Learn and Live
BLS for Healthcare Providers Professional Student Manual.
Student Handbook: This course is governed by all program policies. Please refer to
student handbook. http://www.delta.edu/nursing/nursing20student20handbook.aspx
The student is expected to comply with behaviors and requirements stated in the current
edition of the student handbook regarding attendance, academic integrity, dress code, safe
and unsafe clinical behavior, progression and other policies that relate to successful
completion of the course. Refer to student handbook.
Delta College Nurse Aide Training Program Policies:
Students will be advised of all the program policies as outlined below.
Health Requirements: All students are required to show proof of current Tetanus,
Hepatitis B vaccine series or signed waiver, negative TB test within the last three months
and a physical examination within the past six months. All health requirements as
specified in the current edition of the nursing student handbook,
http://www.delta.edu/nursing/nursing20student20handbook.aspx, must be met PRIOR to
the first day of clinical and remain current through the last clinical day. Student will not
be allowed to participate in clinical if these requirements are not current. It is the
student‘s responsibility to ensure that appropriate documentation is forwarded to the
nursing office. Students are encouraged to carry health and liability insurance.
***Criminal Background Checks are required 4 weeks PRIOR to admission in the
Nurse Aide Training Program. In the event that any issues need to be addressed by the
nursing office/Instructor, this can be done in a timely manner. (See the Michigan
Department of Consumer and Industry Services Requirements for Criminal Background
Checks Nursing Homes and Homes for the Aged Overview of Act 303 of the Public Acts
of 2002). The information obtained from the Criminal Background Check may result in
the inability to complete the clinical portion of the course. Students are guests in the
nursing facilities. The nursing facilities, in accordance with State guidelines make the
final determination as to whether or not a student can enter the facility. Even though the
student may not have a current misdemeanor or felony offense on their record, the
nursing facility may still deny participation in clinical, which would result in a course
4
failure. The college is under no obligation to refund money due to the findings of
the criminal background check. The student is advised to discuss any concerns with
regard to the criminal background check with the nursing discipline program
coordinator.
Classroom Policies:
Class Preparation:
The student is expected to read the assigned material and/or complete any required
assignments PRIOR to the class. This will facilitate an interactive learning environment
which will enhance learning. The student is expected to participate in classroom
discussions to promote learning.
The student is expected to bring the handbook, workbook, course pack, paper,
pens/pencils and @ least 1 highlighter to class.
The student is responsible for checking D2L (Desire2Learn) and their Delta e-mail
account for course updates and grades. The student shall access these sites a minimum of
twice a week throughout the semester to receive course information and updates.
If you have difficulty with the D2L site, please contact the e-learning office @
989.686.9088 or per e-mail @ elearning@delta.edu. The web site is
https://elearning.delta.edu/. You can also access D2L from the main Delta College home
page.
Students are required to complete all course assignments, quizzes, exams, etc. that are
given in order to receive a final grade in the course. If assignments are turned in late a
5% deduction may be made for every day the assignment is late. If the work is not
completed, the student will receive a failing grade, which will prevent the student from
being eligible to take the State Competency Evaluation Exam.
Students are expected to demonstrate courtesy and respect @ all times which
includes limiting unnecessary conversation in the classroom that can be disruptive
to fellow students’ learning.
Simulated Lab: The student is expected to be prepared academically, mentally, and
physically for sim lab. The student is expected to bring their books and course pack to
each sim lab, ready to participate in and practice assigned tasks, using the Bulletin and
Task Competencies(found in course pack) as a guide. In order to successfully achieve
satisfactory competency, the student must be able to perform all tasks without cueing
both in the skills lab and the clinical setting. This means the student must be able to do
the tasks correctly and completely without any notes or assistance in order to be prepared
not only for caring for residents in the clinical setting, but also for taking the State
Competency Exam.
When you are able to perform the skill properly, the instructor will sign off the skill on
the Student Achievement Record (SAR). This form is part of the state requirements for
5
the program, will follow the student into the clinical setting and be placed in the student‘s
folder at completion of the program.
Prior students have reported that making flashcards (by combining the steps listed in
the bulletin with the steps listed in the task competencies), listing the task steps on one
side and the supplies needed on the other, has been an effective learning strategy.
They also suggest to current students to take advantage of the lab time and practice,
practice, practice---following the task steps to the letter! Making flashcards is strongly
recommended by the Instructors to promote learning.
Cell Phones/Pagers: All cell phones and pagers must be on ―vibrate‖ in the classroom.
The use of cell phones, text messaging and activities that distracts the learner is
prohibited during class. The student must wait until break/lunch to engage in these
activities. PAGERS/CELL PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE
LAB/CLINICAL SITE- In the event that a student brings and/or uses a cell phone or
pager in the lab the Instructor will remind the student of the course policy and a verbal
warning about the violation of the policy will be issued. The second violation will result
in the cell phone being collected until the end of class/lab for the day.
NOTE: All Institution policies will be respected and upheld with regard to cell
phones, pagers, IPODS, health requirements, etc.
If a student is found with a cell phone in the CLINICAL site, the student may be
terminated from the program as Institutional Policy dictates, and will receive a
course failure if termination occurs.
IPODS are NOT allowed in the class, lab and/or clinical sites.
Attendance Policy:
The student is expected and required to attend all classroom, lab and clinical
sessions in this course in keeping with mandated federal regulations. This includes
being on time and staying for the entire session. IF THE STUDENT IS GOING TO
BE LATE FOR ANY REASON, THEY MUST CONTACT THE INSTRUCTOR
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
The student shall be advised that an absence in any portion of the course may prevent
them from meeting the course outcomes which would result in a course failure and
ineligibility to take the State Competency Evaluation Exam.
In the event of an illness, the student will be required to submit documentation
from a health care provider to excuse them for the time missed. This documentation
is required if a graded assignment was collected and/or completed during the missed time
as well as being required for any missed lab and /or clinical time due to illness. The
student is required to contact the Instructor ASAP by phone/pager in the event of
an illness. An e-mail is NOT acceptable in this circumstance.
6
If a student is late for class/lab/clinical three times, a 5% reduction in the final grade
may be made. For every additional 2 tardy incidents, an additional 5% reduction
may be made to the final grade. Excessive tardiness may result in a course failure.
Student Code of Ethical Conduct
Students at Delta College are expected to adhere to the Student Code of Ethical Conduct
[Senate Policy 8.001]. http://www.delta.edu/nursing/nursing20student20handbook.aspx
Failure to comply with the Student Code of Ethical Conduct will result in a course
failure.
Grading and Evaluation:
The student will honorably achieve a minimum of 75% of total possible points for all
graded assignments including tests.
If assignments are turned in late a 5% deduction may be made for every day the
assignment is late.
The student must receive a satisfactory evaluation in the clinical setting in order to pass
the course. The student who receives an unsatisfactory evaluation in the clinical setting
will receive a failing grade for the course and not be eligible to take the State
Competency Evaluation Exam. Note: The student who does not complete the minimum
classroom, lab and clinical hours will receive a failing grade.
Evaluation Methods:
The student will be given a quiz @ the end of each chapter from the textbook which will
be graded. The end of chapter quizzes consist of multiple choice, fill in the blank and
short answer questions. The student must achieve a 75% on each of the quizzes. If 75%
is not achieved, the student must retake the quiz until they demonstrate mastery of the
unit objectives. The student will have a maximum of three attempts for each chapter
quiz. If the student does not earn 75% by the third attempt, the student will receive a zero
for that quiz.
The student workbook is required and will be completed by the student outside of class.
The chapter exercises will reinforce the theory and content presented in lecture and lab.
The workbook is due on the first day of clinical and will be graded by the Instructor prior
to the final exam.
CPR will be taught and the student must pass the exam with an 85%. In the event 85% is
not achieved the student will have the opportunity to re-take the exam one time to be
7
successful and receive the American Heart Association Healthcare Provider certification
card. Students must successfully complete the exam in order to attend clinical. If the
student does not earn a passing grade on the exam a course failure will be issued.
The final exam must be passed with a 75% in order to pass the course. The student
has one opportunity to take the final exam.
The Michigan Nurse Aide Training Curriculum Model, (rev. 2006), requires the
student to demonstrate designated skills at 100% competency (considered
satisfactory performance) in the skills lab and clinical setting without cueing. The
student must demonstrate 100% competency (satisfactory performance) of the
required skills in the lab in order to attend clinical. The student who is unable to
demonstrate satisfactory performance of the required clinical skills in lab and/or
clinical is considered unsafe to provide direct patient care and will receive a failing
grade in the course. These records will remain on the Student Achievement Record of
the Michigan Nurse Aide Training Curriculum Model, rev. 2006.

Remember! To be prepared for the clinical experience the student must know all the
steps, in order, for the 52 tasks that must be performed in the clinical setting without
cueing or notes, just as in the Sim Lab. (Making and using flashcards is a great
learning tool to prepare for clinical and to be used for review when waiting to take
the State Competency Exam).
Be sure to eat before attending clinical—You will be working hard and you will need the
energy!
You will be giving care in teams of 2. Help each other out and encourage each other.
There will be a short pre-conference and post-conference for the last part of your clinical
day.
14
Preconference will consist of time to check dress code, wash hands, get transfer belts and
name tags, and get a brief report of the day‘s focus.
Post-conference will consist of a time to discuss any issues that came up during the day,
answer questions, turn in gait belts, name tags, and review any information needed.
If your clinical day is an 8 hour shift, you will be given a lunch break. Your instructor
will discuss the lunch routine with your group prior to clinical.
Students are expected to stay on their assigned unit and not leave without permission
from the Instructor.
You must be signed off on the skills of showering, transferring, and vital signs before
you may do those skills on your own without your instructor present. All other skills you
may perform without the instructor present. Be assertive, now is your time to practice
and learn as much as you can. If you are at all unsure about something, then ask for help.
And ask us questions if you have them. We are here to help you in any way that we can,
but we can‘t read your minds.
The Instructor is on the floor for the entire shift for the clinical experience. If you don‘t
see us it is because we are in a room observing your fellow students do a task. Look for
an ‗Instructor‘ magnetic strip on the door frame to determine which room we may be in.
Be Patient! As soon as we come out, we will be available to observe other tasks.
Instructors must be present for the entire process of showering a resident and may not
leave the shower room. Therefore, students will be notified when a shower will be given.
Understand that if you are not the students giving the shower, you will have to wait to
have the instructor observe any procedures. Instructors will be out as soon as possible
following a shower to observe the other students perform tasks.
Offer to help. The staff really will notice the students who offer to help vs. the ones who
‗do just what they have to do‘.
REMEMBER!!! THERE IS ONLY ONE INSTRUCTOR AND EIGHT STUDENTS,
SO PLEASE BE PATIENT!!! This will make clinical a most positive experience for all.
