Clinical Written Assignments Pass/Fail
TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS 400
Both the clinical and lecture portions of the course must be passed in order to pass this course and progress to the next nursing course. The clinical portion of this course, NUR 334L, is PASS/FAIL. You must pass the NUR 334L (clinical) portion of NUR 334, as well as the lecture portion, in order to pass Nursing 334. You will need to average 78% or higher on all exams, except the Kaplan, to pass the class!
Clinical Evaluation: Successful completion of the clinical portion of NUR 334 will consist of:
- Successful return demonstration of selected skills in laboratory audits - Safe demonstration of selected skills in clinical experience
- Satisfactory completion of all other written assignments as outlined in the NUR 334L packet
NUR 334 Final Grades: The total number of points possible in NUR 334 is 400.
The minimum point total required to earn each grade is listed below. Upon completion of all course requirements, the final grade will be calculated as follows: A = 372 - 400 points
B = 336 – 371 points C = 312 – 335 points
F = anything less than 312 points will be considered a course failure. NAU, School of Nursing and NUR 334 COURSE POLICIES
Important Notice: There is strict adherence to every part of the NAU Student Handbook
and the NAU School of Nursing Undergraduate Student Handbook. Testing, Makeup Tests and Retests
Testing will begin promptly at the scheduled time. Students who arrive late for examinations will not be allowed extra time to take the test. Make up tests may be arranged for valid
reasons such as illness or personal/family emergencies. ARRANGEMENTS TO TAKE A MAKE UP EXAM MUST BE MADE WITH THE FACULTY WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE
EXAM. Make up tests may be in any form (oral, written, essay) over the same objectives as the multiple choice exam. Attendance Policy
Under NAU Policy, students are expected to attend every session of class in which they are enrolled. Attendance is considered to be essential to the learning process, as the faculty
believes that active participation and engagement facilitate learning. As you will be responsible for the content in the lectures, it is to your advantage to attend classes. You are expected to attend ALL CLINICAL sessions (this INCLUDES LAB SESSIONS AND
PRE/POST CONFERENCES). Failure to attend clinical will prevent you from meeting clinical course objectives. Failure to notify faculty of absence from clinical (INCLUDING
LAB AND PRE/POST CONFERENCE) prior to missing or being late will be considered as unprofessional conduct and will be handled as such. Notification must be made by phone (we do not have access to e-mail at the clinical sites). Withdrawal Policy
8
If a student is unable to attend the course or must drop the course for any reason, it will be the responsibility of the student to withdraw from the course before the withdrawal deadline (see current NAU Schedule of Classes for deadline). Plagiarism
All forms of student academic dishonesty, including cheating, fabrication, facilitating
academic dishonesty and plagiarism are prohibited and subject to disciplinary action. For further explanation of policies related to academic dishonesty refer to the School of Nursing Undergraduate Student Handbook and Northern Arizona University Student Handbook. Students with Disabilities
If you have a documented disability, you can arrange for accommodations by contacting the
office of Disability Support Services (DSS) at 523-8773 (voice), 523-6906 (TTY). In order for your individual needs to be met, you are required to provide DSS with disability related documentation and you are encouraged to provide it at least eight weeks prior to the time
you wish to receive accommodations. You must register with DSS each semester you are enrolled at NAU and wish to use accommodations.
Faculty are not authorized to provide a student with disability related accommodations without prior approval from DSS. Students who have registered with DSS are encouraged to notify their instructors a minimum of two weeks in advance to ensure accommodations.
Otherwise, the provision of accommodations may be delayed. Concerns or questions regarding disability related accommodations can be brought to the attention of DSS or the
Affirmative Action Office. Academic Integrity
The university takes an extremely serious view of violations of academic integrity. As
members of the academic community, NAU’s administration, faculty, staff and students are dedicated to promoting an atmosphere of honesty and are committed to maintaining the
academic integrity essential to the education process. Inherent in this commitment is the belief that academic dishonesty in all forms violates the basic principles of integrity and impedes learning. Students are therefore responsible for conducting themselves in an
academically honest manner. Individual students and faculty members are responsible for identifying instances of
academic dishonesty. Faculty members then recommend penalties to the department chair or college dean in keeping with the severity of the violation. The complete policy on academic integrity is in NAU’s Student Handbook. Academic Contact Hour Policy
The Arizona Board of Regents Academic Contact Hour Policy (ABOR Handbook, 2-206,
Academic Credit) states: “an hour of work is the equivalent of 50 minutes of class time…at least 15 contact hours or recitation, lecture, discussion, testing or evaluation, seminar, or colloquium as well as a minimum of 30 hours of student homework is required for each unit
of credit.” The reasonable interpretation of this policy is that for every credit hour, a student should expect, on average, to do a minimum of two additional hours of work per week PER
CREDIT HOUR TO GET A GRADE OF C (so 3 hours per week per credit hour for a B and 4 hours per week per credit hour for an A); e.g., preparation, homework, studying. Visitors
Visitors (friends, family members, children, significant others) will not be permitted in the clinical (hospital, lab) settings under any circumstances. Visitors will be permitted in the
classroom only with approval of the faculty. Confidentiality Statement
Students must maintain client confidentiality at all times. No discussion regarding clients is
acceptable outside the classroom or clinical setting. In clinical conferences and in the classroom references to actual client experiences, refer to the client by their initials only.
9
You may not remove from the clinical setting ANY part of a medical record that staff may tell you is “extra” and “you just have to cross out their name” (i.e. medication administration
record back copies). These forms contain other identifying information on them and therefore should stay in the facility to avoid violating patient confidentiality. Too, please be
careful what you say in halls, elevators and bathrooms while in clinical.
Client records are not to be photocopied under ANY circumstances.
Failure to adhere to this policy can result in removal from the clinical experience, the course,
and/or referral in accordance with the communication of concerns process in the NAU School of Nursing Student Handbook.
Safe Environment Policy
NAU’s Safe Working and Learning Environment Policy seeks to prohibit discrimination and
promote the safety of all individuals within the university. The goal of this policy is to prevent the occurrence of discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status and to prevent sexual
harassment, sexual assault or retaliation by anyone at this university. You may obtain a copy of this policy from the college dean’s office. If you have concerns about your learning
environment, it is important that you contact the faculty first, then the Dean of the School of Nursing, the Office of Student Life (523-5181), the academic ombudsperson (523-9368), or NAU’s Office of Affirmative Action (523-3312).
Classroom Management Statement
Membership in the academic community places a special obligation on all members to preserve an atmosphere conducive to the freedom to teach and to learn. Part of that obligation implies the responsibility of each member of the NAU community to maintain a
positive learning environment in which the behavior of any individual does not disrupt the classes of teachers or learners.

enrolled. Attendance is considered to be essential to the learning process, as the faculty believes that active participation and engagement facilitate learning. As you will be responsible for the content in the lectures, it is to your advantage to attend classes. Withdrawal Policy
