ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to be present for all scheduled clinical practice experiences and seminars. Students who have extraordinary circumstances preventing attendance should explain these circumstances to the course instructor prior to the scheduled clinical practice experience or seminar. Instructors will make an effort to accommodate reasonable requests. A grade penalty may be assigned for unexcused seminar or clinical absences. The faculty member will advise the method of notification for absences to the clinical site e.g. phone, email, and notification of facility.
Requirements for class attendance and make-up exams, assignments, and other work are consistent with university policies that can be found at: https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/attendance.aspx.
ACCOMMODATIONS DUE TO DISABILITY
Each semester, students are responsible for requesting memorandum from the Disability Resource Center to notify faculty of their requested individual accommodations. This should be done at the start of the semester.
UNIVERSTY COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
http://www.counseling.ufl.edu/cwc/ (352) 392-1575
STUDENT HANDBOOK
Of particular importance for this course are the sections on appearance in clinical practice areas, personal liability insurance, and student safety. Students are to refer to the College of Nursing Student Handbook for information about University College of Nursing policies, Academic Honesty, and professional behavior. http://con.ufl.edu/currentStudents/e_docs/Undergraduate%20Handbook%202011.pdf https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/advising/info/student-honor-code.aspx#honesty
TEACHING METHODS
Supervised clinical practice experiences, seminar, and simulation lab.
LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Planned clinical practice activities, participation in seminar, community home, written analysis of care, and assigned activities
EVALUATION METHODS/ COURSE GRADE CALCULATION
Clinical experience will be evaluated through faculty observation, verbal communication with the student, written work, and agency staff reports using a College of Nursing Clinical Evaluation Form. Faculty reserve the right to alter clinical experiences, including removal from client care areas, of any student to maintain patient safety and to provide instructional experiences to support student learning.
Evaluation of clinical performance will be based on achievement of course and program objectives using a College of Nursing Clinical Evaluation Form. All areas are to be rated. A rating of Satisfactory represents satisfactory performance and a rating of Unsatisfactory represents unsatisfactory performance. The student must achieve a rating of Satisfactory in each area by completion of the semester in order to achieve a passing grade for the course. A rating of less than satisfactory in any of the areas at semester end will constitute an Unsatisfactory course grade.
Adult health, mental health or child health, simulation lab, and seminar are all evaluated separately. Preparation and participation in all components are required in order to complete the course satisfactorily.
The faculty member will hold evaluation conferences with the student and clinical preceptor, if applicable. The faculty member will document or summarize each conference on the Clinical Evaluation Form or Incidental Advisement Record. This summary will be signed by the faculty member and student. Mid-rotation evaluation conferences will be made available to each student. Final evaluation conferences with faculty members are mandatory and will be held during the last week of each clinical rotation. A student may request additional conferences at any time by contacting the faculty member.
