| Determination of Final Grade |
The grade for the clinical course consists of two components: (1) Written work which is given a numerical grade. (2) Clinical performance which is graded as S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory). A student must achieve a minimum average of 75% or greater on written work and an “S” on clinical performance which is determined by: meeting the required clinical hours and achieving satisfactory on the Clinical Evaluation to pass the course. 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. The following method will be used to determine each student’s grade in the course:
Students must demonstrate accurate calculation of medication dosages within 3 attempts each semester. Examples of Medication administration problems will be available in each course. Medication administration questions, which will include dosage calculations, will also be on the majority of didactic course exams. The student must pass a written medication administration competency evaluation in RNSG 2362 with a minimum score of 100. The student will have three opportunities to achieve a minimum score of 100. Students who do not achieve a minimum score of 100 by the third medication administration exam will not be allowed to continue in the program. If more than one medication administration exam is required, the average will be used for determination of the medication administration exam grade. First unsuccessful demonstration of Math/Medication Competency - Classroom setting group remediation will be provided by faculty. Second unsuccessful demonstration of Math/Medication Competency – The student meets with the assigned clinical faculty and/or other faculty members for individual remediation and retests within one week after individual remediation. Third unsuccessful demonstration of Math/Medication Competency – The instructor withdraws the student from the nursing courses. |

| Instructor Policies |
Simulation: All students will participate in a Skills Fair during their Simulation #1 assigned time. All skills included in the skills fair will be checked off with one of the Upward Mobility faculty. This is a Pass/Fail assignment. The student must pass all skills during the skills fair to continue with their preceptor hours in the clinical setting. If the student fails any skill during the skills fair, the student will be unable to continue with preceptor hours until the skill has been passed. The student is responsible for setting up a time to practice and repeat the failed skill(s) with the simulation instructor. Once all skills have been completed and passed, the student will be released to continue with their preceptor hours. Community Service Requirements: Students are required to complete two 3-hour community service experiences within the RNSG 2362 course. The community locations must be preapproved by faculty and must provide different experiences from what was completed in RNSG 1260 and RNSG 2361 Clinical. Each agency must provide different services to the community. The student may not complete community service hours at your place of employment. The student will complete a summary of all clinical experiences after completing the required Community Service hours for each clinical course RNSG 1260, RNSG 2361, and RNSG 2362. |
||||||||
| Attendance Policy |
Attendance at all scheduled classes and clinical experiences is expected. Research has shown that consistent class and clinical attendance contributes to successful completion of not only the Upward Mobility Nursing Program, but also passing the NCLEX-RN. Regular attendance is an essential function of any job in nursing. Students who regularly miss class or clinical clearly demonstrate their refusal to be accountable to report to work regularly. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor prior to any absence. If the student is missing a clinical, classroom or lab day, s/he must notify the faculty. |
