In order to pass this course the student:
Must provide safe and effective patient care during your clinical rotation. You must also complete all required documentation and written assignments with an average of 75 or higher.
Must pass all seven skills check-offs within two attempts.
These skills check-offs were over the content presented in your Integrated Skills course over the summer semester. Due to campus closure and Covid, these have been delayed to the Fall semester. Completion of these check-offs are required in order to proceed to the clinical sites. You will have two attempts if needed.
Must pass the math exam with 100% within three attempts.
You must pass the Level 1 Math Exam with a 100; however, if you do not pass on this first attempt, you will be given two other opportunities. If you do not pass the first attempt with a 100, you are required to repeat the ATI dosage modules and quizzes before you can take the second attempt. These will be turned in to your instructor prior to your second attempt. If you fail to pass the second attempt with a 100, you will then be required to remediate with your instructor. Your instructor will then give you a "green light" to take the third attempt. You will then be expected to pass the third attempt in order to progress in the program. Failure to make a 100 by the end of the third attempt will result in dismissal of the program at this time.

Please know this class schedule can be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. This will be done at the discretion of the instructor.
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is September 28, 2020.
Specifically to RNSG 1162 the attendance requirements are
a. Students are expected to attend clinical on each assigned clinical day. Each clinical course has a required number of hours that must be completed. There are no allowed or excused clinical absences.
|
b. If an untoward circumstance arises and the student must miss a clinical day, points will be deducted from the Clinical Points Tool for each clinical day missed. Any student missing more than two (2) clinical days or clinical labs will have to schedule an appointment with the Program Director and the Clinical Instructor prior to the next clinical day. The circumstances for the absences will be reviewed and the student may be dismissed from the nursing program or placed on a probationary contract. The contract will state that any further absences will result in dismissal from the ADN program. Two (2) days of tardiness of less than 30 minutes will be counted as one (1) absence. Tardiness of more than 30 minutes is considered an absence. In the event of extreme circumstances, allowing the student to remain at clinical or being sent home will be at the discretion of the clinical instructor.
c. Students must notify the clinical instructor BEFORE the scheduled start time of clinical if he or she is going to be absent or tardy. This includes being late due to weather or traffic conditions.
