Determination of
Final Grade		 The grade for the clinical course consists of two components: (1) Written work/computer assignments which is given a numerical grade and (2) Clinical performance which is graded as S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory).
A student must achieve a minimum average of 74.5% or greater on written work and an “S” on clinical performance and required lab assignments to pass the course. Rubrics will be utilized by the instructor for grading assignments, case studies, and objectives. All clinical work is required to be turned in on the due date. Clinical work will be accepted late with a 5-point penalty for each day through day three. On day four and after, the assignment will receive a (0) zero. The grade received on the written work will be the grade assigned for the course on the transcript provided the student has a satisfactory on clinical performance.
Students with an unsatisfactory for clinical performance will receive a grade of “F” for the course regardless of the numerical grade on the written work.
Failure to have completed written objectives for specialty areas by date of rotation will result in a grade of “0” and denial of specialty rotation. THIS CAN RESULT IN FAILURE OF CLINICALS.
The student must pass a written medication administration competency evaluation with a minimum score of 90. The student will have three opportunities to achieve a minimum score of 90. Students who do not achieve a minimum score of 90 on the third medication administration evaluation will not be allowed to continue in courses: VNSG 1463 and will be unable to complete required clinical objectives. Therefore, the student will be unable to successfully pass the course. The students’ Medication Administration Exam grade for VNSG 1463 will be averaged by the number of attempts taken to pass the test. i.e.: 1, 2 or 3
Clinical evaluations are completed twice each semester. Evaluations will include student's ability to apply theory in practice, demonstrate competent patient care, and maintain a professional demeanor at all times when in the clinical area. Evaluations are done by the clinical instructor with input from staff at affiliating agency, patients and others as appropriate. Students will sign the evaluation. Their signature attests to the fact that the evaluation conference occurred. It does not signify agreement with the evaluation. Students are given an opportunity to comment in writing on the evaluation. A student's unsatisfactory mid semester clinical evaluation while in the program permits continuation in the program with continued emphasis on upgrading deficiencies. The student's unsatisfactory clinical evaluation at the end of the semester results in a clinical course grade of "U" and prohibits further continuation in the program.
Students who fail a nursing course may repeat it once. Students must receive a satisfactory (S) in clinical and achieve a 75-course grade in the mandatory co-requisite course to progress in the program. Students who fail VNSG 2410 Nursing in Health and Illness III and/or VNSG 1230 Maternal-Neonatal Nursing and repeat the Course(s) may also be required to repeat the clinical co-requisite course.
All courses listed in a given semester of the program must be completed prior to progressing to the next semester. Each didactic and co-requisite clinical course, as listed for each semester, is a prerequisite for the nursing courses listed in the subsequent semester(s), and must be satisfactorily completed prior to graduating from the nursing program.
Students are required to complete written objectives prior to reporting to newborn, post-partum and labor & delivery. Failure to do so may result in the student being sent home and counted as clinically absent.
Case Study packet and Objectives for specialty areas may be found in the Level III clinical notebook. Case studies and written assignments are to be turned in as determined by instructor. Assignments will be given to and graded by the instructor to whom the student is assigned on due date.
Requirements for Level III clinical are: One (1) Medical-Surgical case studies, One (1) Post-Partum Case Study, Labor & Delivery, Post-Partum, Newborn and Mental Health Objectives, and Pass Point/HESI/Swift River Computer assignments. Other assignments include but are not limited to: Professional/Resume/Attire Day, clinical portfolio, teaching projects, virtual clinical assignments, community assignments and medication competency. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are enrolled in the proper courses for Pass Point, Evolve HESI, and Swift River. Instructors will not allow submissions to be turned in from a previous course.
Case Study/Objectives Grading criteria:
Rubrics will be utilized by the instructor for grading the case studies and objectives. Any section of the case study rubric that the student receives a ‘0’ (zero) in must be corrected for the student to receive the assigned grade. Corrections must be completed within one week of receiving the case study from the instructor. If the case study is not returned in one week with corrections, a ‘0’ (zero) will be given for the case study. If a student scores less than 75 on a case study, the student must meet with the faculty to determine strategies to improve performance on subsequent case studies.
The course grade is determined as follows:
1.    Medication Competency (Average) grade
2.    Computer Assignments grade
3.    Medical-Surgical Case Study grade
4.    OB Case Study grade
5.    L&D Objectives     grade
6.    Post-Partum Objectives grade
7.    Newborn grade
8.    Mental Health Objectives grade
9.    Resume/Professional Attire grade
10.    Clinical Portfolio         grade
11.    Teaching Projects grade
12.    Objectives Not Met in Previous Level grade
(ex: radiology, physical therapy)
Students must have a 75 average and a satisfactory rating on the clinical evaluation tool to pass the course.
Course Policies
Instructor Policies Students attending classroom, lab or clinical sessions virtually should exhibit appropriate etiquette to include at a minimum: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life; Respect faculty and peers time by being on time to scheduled exams, sessions and activities; and Present yourself in a professional manner.
Required assignments and specific dates for work to be turned in must be met by the student. Unless turned in by the deadline there will be a drop-in grade for lateness. Previous arrangements between the student and instructor for late work may allow for a reduced late point penalty. Grammar and sentence structure, spelling, legibility, neatness and following directions as to organization are related to acceptable quality in both written and oral assignments.
Attendance Policy This class will be a hybrid class and will consist of online & in facility skills, labs, and assignments. Clinicals will be Monday and Tuesday with Day/Evening rotations. Virtual Clinical Wednesday will include virtual assignments and appointment times for those students in need of a Test Review for courses 2410 and 1230.
Research has shown a cause and effect relationship between attendance and college success. Policies for this course are described below:
1.    Because poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment, attendance at all scheduled clinical is expected.
2.    Clinical Orientation is MANDATORY for all students. Students who do not attend clinical orientation may not be allowed to attend clinical and may be dismissed from the program.
3.    A student who is absent from clinical for more than three (3) days may be dropped from the program by the Program director. A student who is absent from clinical without notification to faculty, may be withdrawn from the program by the program director.
4.    It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor prior to any absence or delay from scheduled activities for class or clinical. If the student is missing a clinical day, s/he must notify the faculty and that s/he is unable to attend clinical. Each clinical instructor will provide contact information for the student to reach their clinical instructor; the student can call and leave a message if the instructor does not answer. If the student is unable to contact the instructor, the student should call 409-984-6356 or 1-800-477-5872, ext. 6356 and leave a message. Also, the student may email their clinical instructor.
Assignments for absence(s) are as follows and will be due on next clinical day:
a. 1st Care Plan & HESI Case Study
b. 2nd Nursing Journal (rubric in level 1 clinical notebook)
c. 3rd Keith RN assignment & Pass Point assignment

5.    Students who arrive greater than 15 minutes after assigned clinical time will be given a verbal warning and may not be allowed to remain. Students who arrive after assigned clinical time on two (2) occasions will receive a written counseling and will not be allowed to remain. If the student is sent home s/he will be counted absent from clinical and must complete the assigned makeup work.
6.    Students must be present the entire clinical day, including pre and post conference to get credit for their attendance.
7.    Since clinical is such an important component of the VN Program, students are required to attend 100 percent of the scheduled clinical days in any given semester. An assignment will be required if the student is absent from clinical. These assignments will receive a satisfactory or unsatisfactory rating only. A satisfactory rating is required for all make up work for missed clinical time. The additional assignments for missed clinical days will not be counted towards the clinical grade average. Any student who misses any clinical days in a semester may receive an unsatisfactory (U) in the clinical course and be required to repeat both the didactic and clinical courses. Absence of the required clinical days necessitates the Standards Committee to review the student’s performance in the VN Program. Students may be allowed to continue in clinical IF they:
a.    Have a 75-test average in the didactic course
b.    Have satisfactory written work in the clinical course
c.    Are up-to-date on skills check-offs in clinical prior to the most recent absence.
Students will be required to do additional written work to continue in clinical. Students who do not meet the above criteria may be dismissed for the semester.
8.    Any student who is “no call, no show” for clinical demonstrates a lack of accountability and unprofessional conduct. Therefore, s/he may fail clinical that semester and must repeat both the clinical and didactic courses to progress in the program. The only possible exception is if a student is physically unable to call the faculty.
9.    Students may be required to attend seminars or workshops to meet clinical objectives. Students will be informed in advance of the requirements. They are expected to attend the entire workshop as scheduled even if it extends past the regularly scheduled clinical time.
10.    The clinical instructor keeps an attendance record. Any student who is not sure about his/her status should meet with the instructor by appointment.
11.    Students are expected to attend clinical in FULL CLINICAL ATTIRE; including approved clinical dress (scrubs, with appropriate shoes, lab jacket) as well as required accessories. Students not adhering to dress codes; as described in Student Handbook may be sent home by the Instructor. This will count as a clinical absence.
12.    The program director has the right to initiate the administrative withdrawal of any student whose attendance, conduct, scholastic abilities, attitude or lack of aptitude for vocational nursing makes it inadvisable for that student to continue in the program.
Academic Honesty Academic honesty is expected from all students, and dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Please consult the LSC-PA policies (Section IX, subsection A, in the Faculty Handbook) for consequences of academic dishonesty.
