NOTE:	Starred [*] objectives, CRITICAL BEHAVIORS, MUST receive a Satisfactory Score (S) or above or student will receive a “no pass” for clinical experience which means regardless of other course section grades student FAILS this course.

DIRECTIONS:	The scale for each clinical objective is measured as follows:  (S) Satisfactory, and (U) Unsatisfactory. 
Satisfactory (S) - behavior is safe & consistent, student is reliable, seeks out assistance appropriately, and requires minimal direction. 
Unsatisfactory (U) – behavior is inconsistent, student is unreliable in behavior &/or communication, inappropriately seeks out assistance, requires close supervision, & demonstrates unprofessional behavior.  
NOTE:     Students who function at very high level may receive a score of E written in the S column. 
Exemplary (E) – behavior is exceptional, safe, & consistently self-directed, student is reliable, independent, & creative, and takes responsibility for own learning often seeking new experiences.

TOTAL NUMBER ABSENCES:	0 

Note: More than two (2) unexcused absences from clinical experience will result in course failure. 

The clinical practice component of the student’s N 210 Fundamentals of Nursing Practice grade is worth 20% of overall grade. Written assignments for clinical will account for the clinical component of the final course grade  In addition, successful completion of clinical is dependent on achieving a satisfactory score in 77% of the clinical objectives with a score of satisfactory  in 100% in those objectives identified as critical indicators.

Student Comments:
Overall, I learned so much from the clinical component of this course.  It is one thing to read and read on the skills and what you are supposed to do as a nurse, but it is another thing to actually give patient care and apply everything we learn.  I thought I did well being compassionate with all of my patients offering care, support, knowledge, and just holding a patients hand or just being present when they needed someone.  I feel that I have evolved as a nurse and have become more confident.  I felt that walking into the first clinical I had the bedside manner that I would want as a patient but I was lacking in the skills.  I think I did well on talking to the patient and families and the nurses.  Over the semester I feel that I have gained a lot of skill and more confidence when applying everything to patient care.  I feel that I have the ability to be a great nurse and I feel confident walking into the next class that has a clinical component.
