A grade of Pass or Fail will be assigned to the clinical component of the course. Students must achieve success in all course components, including didactic, clinical, and nursing skills laboratory. Failure in one component will result in course failure. Faculty reserve the right to alter the course syllabus, in collaboration with students, as deemed necessary for learning. Clinical Course Policies Confidentiality is the cornerstone of ethical practice whereby a client’s right to privacy is respected, which is imperative to establishing trust within the nurse-client relationship. The principle of confidentiality requires the student nurse to avoid relating any information about a client or client’s care with anyone other than those who are directly involved in the client’s care (or who are supervising the student nurse’s practice), unless the client has consented to a release of information. In any written communication, only the client’s initials are to be used. Furthermore, the student will protect the client’s anonymity in any clinical conversations. Professionalism is an outcome of the BSN program, and an expectation of the student nurse. This entails the responsibility and accountability of the student for: a. attendance at all clinical experiences, including community appointments; b. punctuality at all clinical experiences, whether in the hospital rotation or scheduled appointments with clients, community agencies, etcetera; c. following assigned organizational requirements for the clinical rotation. d. maintaining the dress code of UMFK as outlined in the Student Handbook In the hospital, students are to wear white uniforms that are neat and clean. Footwear recommended white, with a closed toe and heel required. The UMFK student ID pin must be worn at all times during the clinical rotation. A stethoscope, watch with second hand, and bandage scissors are tools of the nursing student’s trade, so be sure to have them with you. When making visits to clients or agencies in the community, the student is to be dressed neatly/ professionally, and to wear the UMFK student ID pin at all times during the visit. PAGE 2 Nursing students are excluded from performing the following interventions in the clinical settings: .a No intravenous push (IVP) injections. Nursing staff, employed by the clinical facility are required to administer any such injections. Flushing of normal saline locks (with normal saline only) is the only exception and this may only be performed under the supervision of the clinical faculty or primary care nurse employed by the clinical facility. .b Under no circumstances are students to involve themselves with the initiation of blood or blood products, and this includes obtaining or signing for any blood or blood products. Students may monitor a client who is receiving transfusion therapy, but only under the supervision of the primary care nurse employed by the clinical facility. .c Under no circumstances are student nurses to assume any responsibility for obtaining telephonic or verbal orders from a physician or other care provider. Any telephone or verbal orders from a physician or other care provider must be obtained by an employee of the clinical facility. Students are to assume no responsibility for obtaining, witnessing or signing any hospital consents. All documentation entered on a client’s chart must be completed with the student’s signature and designation of “SN” (Student Nurse). Student signatures must be sufficiently legible to read. If answering the unit telephone, students must identify themselves by name and their designation of “student nurse”. Students are to ensure that their UMFK student ID name badge is visible at all times whenever serving in the capacity as a student nurse. Formative and Summative Evaluation Methods 1. Clinical Course Component: Formative Evaluation Methods Grading Summative Evaluation Methods Grading .a Clinical Performance Evaluation -Mid-Rotation Pass/Fail Clinical Performance Evaluation - Final Pass/Fail Clinical Performance Evaluation: Clinical evaluation will be pass or fail and based on achievement of course objectives using the Clinical Performance Evaluation Form. To successfully pass the clinical course, each student must receive "satisfactory" in all the evaluation areas by the end of the clinical rotation. Students are responsible for evaluating their performance on an ongoing weekly basis. A computer generated self- evaluation clinical performance tool will be generated by the student and discussed at mid-rotation and final with the clinical instructor. At this time, written and verbal feedback will also be provided by the faculty. The required forms are available at UMFK Division of Nursing website by accessing: http://umfk.edu PAGE 2 If a student is identified as weak in the clinical area, the faculty will establish a learning contract with the student to target specific behaviors for improvement within an established time frame. Should the student be unable to meet the requirements of the learning contract within the time frame allocated, the student will not be allowed to progress in the clinical area. Mid-rotation evaluation conferences will be made available to each student. Final evaluation conferences with the instructor are mandatory and will be held during the last week of each clinical rotation. Additional conferences may be arranged at any time by contacting your clinical instructor. Clinical experience: The clinical experience will enable students to conduct hands on assessments of the newborn, pregnant woman, postpartum woman, high risk newborn, and infant feeding. Clinical instructors can also supplement with videos or written assignments. If a student fails to complete a task due to census, than they need to seek out the clinical instructor to complete a mock demonstration when time permits. The clinical instructor can meet these activities in groups if they feel this is appropriate. Refer to Clinical Schedule for your assigned dates. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED: Student Nurse Clinical Log (Below) Pre/Post Conferencing with Clinical Instructor Students will be advised by the clinical instructor of the time and location of the pre and post clinical conferences. During pre-conference, clinical assignments will be given to students and clinical plans and priorities for care will be discussed. Clinical Prep tools are posted on Black board under NUR 335 Family Health I course in the NUR 335L content tab. During post-conferencing, students will be responsible for providing a history regarding their patient, the medications they are currently taking, the nursing implications for these medications, and any labs and ancillary testing that is done and the rationale. The clinical post conference can be used to supplement the areas in which the students may have not had opportunity to experience. They may practice on mannequins, observe than practice skills, and watch nursing videos.

Examination questions will not be returned to students. In order to preserve the integrity of exams, students may not retain exams, notes, answer sheets, take photographs, or preserve other related materials or exam information in any way. Personal belongings need to be removed from the area in which students are reviewing their exams (which includes jackets, notebooks, cell phones, tablets, textbooks, etc.) • Any questions or concerns related to individual test items or test grades must be addressed with faculty within 1 week following the class exam review with the exception of the final exam. Final Exam: • The final exam, a cumulative exam, covers all course content. The format will be consistent with the first three exams. Because of time constraints and the need to post course grades, questions or concerns about the final exam must be addressed with faculty within 2 school days after the final exam grade is posted. Course Attendance: (the following is taken with approval from the UMPI syllabus template) University Attendance Policy Individual faculty members determine the attendance policy for each course. However, all students are expected to arrive punctually and to attend all classes. If possible, any necessary absences should be discussed with the instructor beforehand. Behavior that detracts from the learning environment-including excessive absences or extensive periods of not logging into the class or posting to discussion boards, may result in sanctions including Student Conduct Code violations and/or grades of F being assigned. University Excused Class Absence Policy The University recognizes that educational experiences extend beyond the classroom and campus and that participation in sanctioned co-curricular activities is an important component of a student’s university education. A sanctioned university event or activity shall be one in which a student represents the university to external constituencies in academic, extra-, or co- curricular activities. Faculty members are asked to provide students participating in sanctioned activities or absences with reasonable accommodations for classes, examinations, projects, and other assessments that are missed because of these occurrences. Accommodations may include comparable alternative evaluation methods and/or opportunities for evaluation at other times within a reasonable time period prior to or after the absence.
