    Pathway, NursingClinicals, Global Studies/Symposium, and Capstone coursesand

    NURS 493.

    Grade Rounding At West Coast University, scores are not rounded to the whole number until

    the end of the term. All student assignments, quizzes, and examinations will be

    rounded to the first decimal point. At the end of the terms final course grades

    will be rounded to the nearest whole point. For programs that use the exam

    average to determine whether other course assignments are included in the

    final scoring (e.g., Nursing), the end-of-term exam average may be rounded

    (using the above rules) to make that determination.

    V. Policies and Procedures

    Attendance Policy Attendance in class lectures and clinical experiences, including hospital

    and community rotations, simulation and skills laboratory, is mandatory.

    Failure to attend, arriving late or leaving early will impact the ability of the

    student to achieve course objectives. Tardiness to or a failure to call an

    agency and clinical instructor prior to missing a scheduled clinical

    experience is unprofessional, reflects poorly on the student and the

    university, and will be reflected in the clinical evaluation. A referral to the

    Conduct Committee may be made. All absences will require

    documentation of an extenuating circumstance. All missed clinical hours

    will need to be made up. Documentation of an extenuating circumstance

    does not change the need to make up the hours.

    West Coast University has a clear requirement for students to attend

    courses. Students should review the Attendance Policy in the Academic

    Policies and Procedures section of theUniversity Catalog.

    Academic Integrity

    Policy

    Students are expected to approach their academic endeavors with the highest

    academic integrity. They must cite sources, and submit original work.

    Academic honesty is central to the institution/student partnership towards

    student success. Students are accountable for adhering to the Academic

    Integrity and Academic Dishonesty policies in the Academic Policies and

    Procedures section of theUniversity Catalog.

    Academic Dishonesty Students should review the Academic Dishonesty Policy in the Academic

    Policies and Procedures section of theUniversity Catalog.

    Reasonable

    Accommodations

    West Coast University strives to provide reasonable accommodations to

    students who have a defined need and who follow the appropriate steps

    towards seeking the accommodation. The Reasonable Accommodations Policy

    is found in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of theUniversity

    Catalog.

    West Coast University

    Make-up Work Policy

    In order to meet course objectives, students may be allowed to make up

    assignments and work missed as a result of absences. The faculty mayassign additional make-up work to be completed for each absence.

    Students are required to be present when an examination is given. If

    unexpectedly absent for a documented emergency situation (i.e. death in

    the immediate family), it is the students responsibility to arrange for a

    make-up date by contacting the faculty member within 48 hours of the

    original assessment date. The make-up work must be completed within five

    (5) school days of the originally assigned date. Students who do not take

    the exam on the scheduled make-up date or who do not contact the

    instructor within 48 hours will receive a zero score for that assessment

    activity.

    The highest score possible on a make-up examination is passing grade (e.g.,if a student obtained a perfect score (100%) in the make-up examination,

    the grade will still be recorded as a passing grade). In order to meet course

    objectives, students may be required to make up all assignments and work

    missed as a result of absences. The faculty may assign additional make-up

    work to be completed for each absence.

    V. Policies and Procedures

    Clinical Policies CLINICAL EVALUATION:

    Clinical performance will be evaluated at the end of the term using the

    clinical evaluation tool. Students should complete the self-evaluation at the

    end of each day and consult with instructor about any questions or concerns

    regarding performance or clinical opportunities. The clinical evaluation is

    kept as a permanent record in the student file. The total time spent by thestudent in achieving the clinical course objectives is included in the clinical

    evaluation.

    Evaluation of simulation performance will be based on the Quality and

    Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Competencies and this in turn is

    reflected on the Simulation Learner Outcomes form and the Clinical

    Evaluation Tool.

    CLINICAL PREPARATION:

    Preparation for clinical and simulation is required for all class days. Because

    each clinical setting has different requirements and options for acute care,

    outpatient, and community experiences; clinical faculty will direct the

    students as to the appropriate preparation.

    CLINICAL ATTENDANCE:

    Students are accountable for demonstrating all behavioral objectives of the

    course. Clinical and simulation evaluation is based on demonstrated

    ability to achieve all course objectives no later than the last day of classes

    in the current semester. Course expectations include attendance and

    experiential learning.

    Attendance in class lectures and clinical experiences, including hospital and

    community rotations, simulation and skills laboratory, is mandatory. Failure

    to attend, arriving late or leaving early will impact the ability of the student

    to achieve course objectives. Tardiness to or a failure to call an agency and

    clinical instructor prior to missing a scheduled clinical experience is

    unprofessional, reflects poorly on the student and the university, and will

    be reflected in the clinical evaluation. A referral to the Conduct Committee

    may be made. All absences will require documentation of an extenuating

    circumstance. All missed clinical hours will need to be made up.

    Documentation of an extenuating circumstance does not change the need

    to make up the hours.

    CLINICAL COURSE COMPLETION:

    Nursing practicum course must be taken concurrently with the theory

    course of that subject. Nursing skills are learned in the skills lab undersupervision. When performed for the first time on a patient, it must be

    observed by the instructor who will determine if the student has

    performed it safely. If the performance is satisfactory, the instructor will

    initial in the section of the skills checklist.

    This checklist is to be carried by the student each day she/he is at clinical

    or in skills lab to insure all skills are signed off prior to moving on to

    another class.

    Students should keep a copy in a safe place. The information on this

    checklist is part of the grading for the class and without this checklist; there

    is no verification that a skill has been successfully completed. Therefore, it

    is crucial the student keep this checklist safe throughout the entire nursing

    program, as it is a record of skills achieved and a required reference by the

    Board of Registered Nursing that skills were obtained first in the skills lab

    and later in the clinical practicum.

    The final grade is cumulative and includes clinical performance, and

    other evaluation methods.

    MEDICATION MATH EXAMINATION:

    Medication math exams are ATI Dosage Calculation Proctored Assessments

    in NURS 121L, 210L, 211L, 223L, 316L, 317L, and 481L (not created by

    individual faculty members) and are administered online. Each medication

    math exam consists of 5 unscored practice questions and 20 items that are

    designed to assess the students mastery of mathematical computations

    and fundamental knowledge of medication administration that are

    essential for safe nursing practice at each designated level. The majority of

    item types are fill-in-the-blank with alternate and multiple choice item

    formats used for some non-calculation items. The math examwill be

    administered to student cohorts by faculty members and proctors in the

    computer lab setting. Students will have a time limit of 60 minutes to

    complete the medication math exams and may use University-issued

    calculators

    Students may not administer medication in the clinical setting until after

    passing the course medication math exam. Once a student has successfully

    passed the medication math exam, s/he may administer medications with a

    WCU faculty member or with faculty approval a licensed registered nurse

    employed by the clinical facility who is present on the clinical unit, and in

    keeping with facility policy. Students will be given a total of 3 attempts to pass each course medication

    math competency exam. A mandatory Letter of Concern will be

    generated with each unsuccessful attempt. Students must attend math

    workshop(s) and/or tutor with an instructor, and use the math resources

    assigned prior to second or third attempts. Documented remediation must

    be presented prior to these exams. Second and third attempts will be

    scheduled outside of class time. Subsequent attempts will not be given

    any sooner than 3 calendar days after the previous attempt.

    Failure of the medication math exam the third time constitutes a failure in

    the clinical course for that term. In this case, the student must withdrawfrom the corresponding theory course since the BRN requires theory and

    clinical courses to be taken concurrently. The student may not progress in

    the program until the clinical course is successfully passed.

    UNIFORMS:

    In the clinical and simulation settings, students are expected to wear clean

    pressed school uniforms, clean white shoes, watches with a second hand,

    their school ID badges and whatever other identification the facilities

    NURSING:

    Nursing students may repeat no more than one failed or unsuccessfully

    completed course. Any Nursing student who fails or unsuccessfully

    completes any two courses or the same course twice, with the exception of

    NURS 492 will be dismissed from the program. Please see the university

    catalog for more information under Course Withdraw and Dismissal

    Policies.

    A student who previously withdrew from a course may not subsequently

    withdraw from the same course. In addition, a student who fails a course

    may not subsequently withdraw from the same course. In either case, if a

    student chooses to withdraw from a course being repeated before

    successfully completing the course, the student will receive a grade of F in

    the course. Please see the university catalog for more information under

    Course Withdraw and Dismissal Policies.

    CLINICAL EXPERIENCE OPPORTUNITIES

    Integration of Nursing Practice

    Integration of Nursing Practice is the capstone clinical course offering students the opportunity to participate in acute and non-acute

    clinical experiences in one of 3 tracks. Students may request a preference but the final track assignment and placement cannot be

    guaranteedbecause of various external factors such as site availability and hosting site requirements. Each track will offer the

    learning environment necessary for students to meet course learning outcomes as demonstrated via the course evaluation methods.

    Track IAcute Care Clinical Experience: Pairs students with nurses in Medical-Surgical, Critical Care, or other units for 60 clinical hours.

    Students will work with several different nurses throughout the rotation and participate in the care of a full load of patients each

    day. Students will attend these sessions in groups on a set schedule. A clinical faculty member will be on-site while students are in

    the clinical setting.

    Track II

    Community Preceptorship: Places students in a community setting such as a School, Outpatient Ambulatory Clinic, or Public Health

    Agency for 60 hours under the 1 on 1 direct supervision of an agency designated Preceptor who is a Registered Nurse. Students will

    work with their preceptors to create their term schedules. An assigned clinical faculty member will be available to the students

    remotely during the times they are with their preceptors.

    Track III

    Acute Care Preceptorship: Places students in a specialty acute care setting (i.e. Emergency Room, Perioperative Area, or Medical-Surgical, Critical Care, Mental Health, Pediatric, or Maternal Newborn Unit) for 60 hours under the 1 on 1 direct supervision of an

    agency designated Preceptor who is a Registered Nurse. Students will work with their preceptors to create their term schedules. An

    assigned clinical faculty member will be available to the students remotely during the times they are with their preceptors.
