Evaluation Activities Reviewed:  Examinations  
There are five class examinations each worth 14% of the final grade spread out throughout the semester.  See Quick view calendar.  Each exam will be 50 minutes with 40-42 questions. There will be 10 pop quizzes scattered throughout which will count for a total of 5%. The additional 25% of the grade is based on the two hour final examination which is a cumulative exam containing between 80 and 85 questions. Bonus points may be added to the final exam based upon the students Proficiency Level achieved on the Custom Assessment of the standardized testing (ATI).  Proficiency Level points will be determined by the CT-CCNP Committee prior to the final exam.

It is expected that all students will be present and punctual for exams. In the event that the student will be absent for personal illness, the student must notify the course leader prior to 8 a.m. on the morning of the exam. Failure to do so may result in a failing grade for that particular exam. Planned absences for vacations are not valid reasons for missing an exam. If warranted, one cumulative makeup exam will be offered at the end of the semester. Any student taking a make-up exam will have 10 points subtracted from the exam grade unless documentation of extenuating circumstances has been provided to and approved by the course leader.

Testing Procedures: Test answer bubble sheets will be distributed at 8:15 am, exams at 8:30 am. Students are required to complete the answer sheet as directed, which includes accurate Banner ID number. Students will have one hour to complete exams and 2 hours to complete the final exam. Students may not leave the exam room for any reason and return to the exam. All books, coats, backpacks, bags, etc. must be left in your car or placed in the front of the exam room. Only wrist watches with a dial face will be allowed. Eating and/or drinking are not permitted during exams. Students may not wear hats during exams. Calculators will be provided by the school. Wooden #2 lead pencils are to be used, no mechanical pencils. Anyone who looks at another student’s exam or who is seen talking either to themselves or to someone else during the exam may receive an exam grade of 0. Exam scores will be posted on Blackboard no later than 48 hours after the exam.

Students will be required to pass a dosage calculation exam with a grade of 90% or above. Calculators will be provided. The student will have three attempts to pass the exam. If unsuccessful, the student will need to go to the lab for remediation prior to rescheduling the next attempt with the course leader. The next exam must be scheduled at least one week from the most recent unsuccessful attempt. If the student is not successful on the third attempt, the student will be given the opportunity to withdraw. If the student chooses not to with draw, a failing grade will be given for the course. The student will be given the opportunity to apply for readmission.

Med calculation rounding rules:
•	IV, IM and Infusion rates (any medication from a vial), should be rounded to the 10th (For example:  22.3, 27.6, 35.1) 
•	Infants: should be rounded to the 100th place
•	Do not round UNTIL your final product/answer.  

Skills Validations: Students in this semester will complete skills validations during lab #2. Students are strongly encouraged to practice the required skills in the lab prior to validation day. A student who is unsuccessful in validating must complete a lab referral remediating the skill with in one week, practice in the nursing lab, and then schedule an appointment with the lab to revalidate. If the student is unsuccessful a second time, the student must once again remediate the skill before making an appointment with the course leader to attempt a third time to validate. If the student is not successful a third time, the student will be given the opportunity to withdraw. If the student chooses not to with draw, a failing grade will be given for the course. The student will be given the opportunity to apply for readmission.

Exam Review:  Students may review concepts from the most recent exam with the lab staff. Any student receiving a 77.5 or less on an exam will be given a mandatory exam review with the lab staff.
Clinical Evaluation Activities:    
Clinical performance is evaluated on the basis of how well the learner meets the objectives and achievements identified on the N201 formative clinical evaluation form. Students must successfully meet the clinical objectives in order to pass the course. Clinical instructors will complete a weekly written formative evaluation of clinical performance, and will meet weekly with students to review student progress. A summative evaluation will be completed and reviewed at the end of the semester.
See CT-CCNP Student Handbook for information regarding the clinical evaluation process. 

Clinical Absenteeism  Policy:
The student who is absent for one clinical day will receive a CPIP. A second clinical absence will result in the student being placed on clinical warning.  To be successful in the course, the student must earn removal from clinical warning status by having no further clinical absences the remainder of the semester.
 
If the student has more than 2 absences, the student will not be able to meet the clinical objectives resulting in a clinical failure, thereby, failing the course (please see the student nursing handbook). 
 
Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the nursing faculty and the director of nursing.
If there are greater than one absence in a specialty area, the student will be unable to meet the clinical and course objectives resulting in a clinical failure, thereby, failing the course.  Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the nursing faculty and the director of nursing.

Standardized Curricular Testing: Standardized testing is required in order to pass this course.  Please check the quick calendar for dates and times. Students have the opportunity to earn up to three performance points which are added to the final exam grade.
75% & above Score on NUR*201 CA*	3 points
70% - 74.9% Score on NUR*201 CA*	2 points
60% - 69.9% Score on NUR*201 CA*	1 point
59.9% & below Score on NUR*201 CA*	0

Electronic portfolio- All students are required to maintain an online learning portfolio in Digication that uses the college template. There will be one assignment during the course of the semester that will need to be uploaded into Digication. Completion of this assignment is a course requirement, and failure to complete it may result in an incomplete for the course. This assignment may be used by the general education assessment team on campus to measure college outcomes, and improve student experiences. There will be no identifying data on this assignment to link it to a particular student. You are encouraged to use the digication platform to reflect on, demonstrate, or showcase your growth throughout your time as a nursing student. Your portfolio will be private unless you choose to share it.

Course Communication: Communication in N201 is done exclusively through Blackboard learn messaging or using your SCHOOL email. It is important that you get in the habit of checking blackboard daily, as you will be held responsible for communications sent to you. 
Student Success in N201
Study Groups
Study groups are crucial to your N201 success.   It is recommended that students participate in study groups. Study groups have been shown to promote student success. When you decide to join a study group, choose a group with students that are doing well and want to work hard. This may/may not be your immediate group of friends. For tips on making the most of study groups see the Blackboard posting on Tools for Success. The nursing lab has some space available to meet, as does the library. Staff within the nursing lab are available during posted hours to assist students with tutoring, skills, study/test taking skills, or other learning needs.  Students are encouraged to be proactive in their learning and seek help independently.  Learning resources can be found on the N201 Course Shell on Blackboard, Text book Web Sites and CDs / DVDs, materials within the nursing laboratory and library, and the ATI website.  Students are encouraged to utilize these independent opportunities frequently.  
Methods of Instruction
Teaching modalities include lecture, power point, case studies, group activities, I-clickers, and simulation. Computerized programmed instruction and interactive learning tools may be used as well.  Blackboard and Digication are N201’s learning management tools. Students are encouraged to participate in all activities offered to enhance the learning experience.  Students are expected to participate in class discussions, class activities, role-play, exam review, lab practice, and simulations. Participation enhances the learning experience and allows students and instructors the opportunity to learn from each other. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes. Tardiness, early departure, and absences have a direct impact on student learning. 

Nursing Lab Resources
The Nursing lab is available for all students.  The lab staff offer a wide variety of services to help students succeed.  Students may be referred to the lab for tutoring, math skills, clinical skills, organization and time management, study strategies and test taking strategies.  However, students do not need to be referred to get the benefit of all services the lab has to offer. Students who frequently use the lab find it to be a powerful tool for success. 

Professionalism: The TRCC nursing handbook states “Professionalism is acquired through a complex process by which the nursing student internalizes values inherent to the practice of nursing. These values include integrity, legal-ethical standards, confidentiality, political awareness, and collegiality.” Professionalism is more than clinical excellence. It is leadership. It is demonstrating nursing ethics and values in one’s words, and in one’s behaviors. Students will be held accountable to professional standards of behavior in the classroom, clinical, the nursing lab, and on social media.

Classroom and clinical demeanor is a vital part of professionalism. Students should behave respectfully at all times, recognizing each person's right to learn in an atmosphere conducive to the learning experience. 
Do: 
Be honest.
Have a positive attitude. 
Be prompt, and be prepared. 
Strive to be a positive, active member in class group work, as well as in clinical as part of the health care team. 
Avoid side bar conversations. 
Listen when others are speaking. 
Avoid negative body language such as eye rolling, loud sighs, smirking. 
Keep cell phones turned off unless using them for class.
Speak respectfully to peers, instructors, patients, family, and health team members.
Refrain from gossip/complaining regarding peers, instructors, facilities, staff, and patients   (HIPPA).
Refrain from social networking regarding peers, instructors, facilities, staff, and patients. (See social network policy)  

Students who violate the guidelines of courtesy and/or professional demeanor will be asked to leave the setting, and will need to complete a performance improvement plan with remediation. 

Nursing health and background check requirements: As per the Castlbranch ePortal (https://www.castlebranch.com), students who are non-compliant with health requirements, background checks, drug screening and CPR at any time, will be required to leave the program immediately.  The student may request readmission if eligible in accordance with the CT-CCNP student readmission standards.
