7 7 NURSING 402X 2016 Schedule Classroom Content: Monday, June 27, 2016 to Thursday, June 30, 2016, Health Sciences 105 Each student will need to set aside time for personal learning activities to: Identify personal learning objectives that will be priority for this practice. Identify current resources needed to meet course objectives. Consider what evidence would confirm that the objectives have been met. Review and practise specific clinical skills in preparation of advanced learning. Tuesday, September 6, 2016 Complete HESI Exit #2 exam. Facilitated group discussion Complete course evaluation for course and clinical experience. Clinical Experience Monday, July 4, 2016 to Friday, September 2, 2016 Students will have 9 weeks to complete 320 hours of clinical arranged according to the preceptor s working rotation. There MAY be extra hours available depending on the preceptor s schedule for students to arrange time off for a summer break o Students MUST negotiate this with their preceptor and their faculty advisor to ensure that that they have the correct number of clinical hours.

8 8 NURSING 402X 2016 Learning Activities The student will: Share clinical experiences with colleagues to encourage reflective learning through linking theory and practice. Complete the clinical performance evaluation with the faculty advisor and preceptor. Prior to the midterm and final evaluation, the student will meet to discuss the evaluation with her/his preceptor. Each student will complete the evaluation form and complete a written self-evaluation summary and review these at the mid-term and final evaluation. Submit required written assignments to faculty advisor. Organization At the beginning of the experience the student and preceptor will review the student's priority learning objectives and identify how they plan to meet their identified clinical indicators. The student and preceptor will work closely so that the student can reach her/his objectives with the preceptor's guidance, while the faculty advisor will be available to help discuss the experience and evaluate the student's performance. Students and preceptors are encouraged to contact the faculty advisor at any time throughout the experience. Expectations The focus of this experience is on the roles of the nurse in the health care system. Included in the practice experience is the expectation that each student will: Clinical Time o Take on a student leadership role within the regular activities of the clinical setting. o Critically analyse nursing and health care within that setting using solid references from the literature. The clinical component of this course requires 320 hours of experience. The configuration of time will vary among students but the basic principle is that each student will be engaged in some aspect of their clinical experience during the hours in which their preceptor is working.

9 9 NURSING 402X 2016 Evaluation Students will practice in a clinical setting under the guidance of a preceptor. It is imperative that the student demonstrate safe, competent nursing practice. The student, faculty advisor, and preceptor will meet together near the midterm of the clinical experience and at, or just before, the end of the experience to conduct evaluations of student performance. Additional meetings may be required based on student s progress. Please book these meetings at the start of the student experience with the telephone number and location where faculty advisor can meet. Each faculty advisor will meet by telephone or in person with the student and preceptor two times during the nine week experience. These meetings will be at a time convenient to the preceptor and student s schedule. For out of province students, the faculty advisor will organize contact with the student wherever possible and conduct the midterm and final evaluations during a three way teleconference at the School of Nursing s expense. Performance will be evaluated on a pass/fail system using the course objectives, the student's selected objectives and the fourth year clinical evaluation as evidence of performance.

Format the learning plan as a landscape table with the following headings: Objective Resources Strategies Evaluation Measures/Success Indicators B. Letter to Preceptor Prepare an introductory letter for the preceptor that will provide the preceptor with information that you want to share with them about you and your learning needs for this preceptor experience. This is a formal letter that you will prepare ready for mailing (or as attached letter to an ). Consider how the objectives you identified in your learning plan fit into what you want to accomplish during your clinical experience. Consider what your strengths are in general: strengths in the clinical area; areas where you want to improve; and areas that have challenged you in previous clinical experiences. Your learning style; your response to feedback and how you prefer to receive feedback; how you handle stress; uncertainty etc. This assignment is completed by the student and submitted electronically to your faculty advisor. After this assignment has been graded, the student will make revisions and submit the introductory letter about themselves, along with this personal learning plan to their preceptor with a final copy to the faculty advisor.

14 14 NURSING 402X Clinical Logs Due Dates and Content: July 15, 2016 July 29, 2016 Knowledgeable PHC Practitioner & Critical Thinker Effective Communicator August 12, 2016 Self-directed Learner August 26, 2016 Evolving Professional The purpose of the clinical logs is for students to complete an analysis of their practice in relation to how they are meeting the clinical objectives for the course, the expectations of a fourth year student and ultimately the characteristics of a graduate. Process: 1. Four (4) clinical logs will be submitted the student s faculty advisor. These will be submitted electronically via the assignment Dropbox on Moodle. 2. Each log will focus on one or two objectives from the UPEI School of Nursing 402X clinical evaluation form. 3. From the specified objective, the student will identify the specific clinical indicators that they would like to address and discuss this plan with their preceptor prior to the week the log is due. a. Students can decide with the support of their preceptor what indicators they would like to work on specifically. They may also have demonstrated growth in an area (s) or an area may have challenged the student and they may choose indicators to demonstrate either of these or both. b. Students must address a minimum of 3-4 indicators in each log. 4. The student will write a maximum of 900 word log describing how they have been able to meet the identified objective and corresponding indicators. Students will use the chosen indicators and use the following questions to write a synthesis to describe how they were able to meet the indicator(s) or what challenges them to meet the indicator; i. What occurred/ happened, what went well? ii. What did not work so well and why? iii. What theoretical evidence was used to support the student s actions? What theoretical evidence was used to enhance the experience? iv. What would the student do differently in the future and what theory or evidence supports these recommendations? 5. In addition to the questions above, the student will reflect on their growth in reaching the expectations of the fourth year student and ultimately in meeting the characteristics of a graduate. a. This section requires students to consider the expectations of a fourth year student and the characteristics of graduate that are found in the syllabus. Students need only to choose the characteristics that apply to the indicators they chose above and be sure the characteristics are reflected in their discussion. b. Students will include a minimum of 1 from each list.

15 15 NURSING 402X Grading of the Journals will be based on student s reflection and analysis of their ongoing learning and how that is linked to their clinical objectives and applied knowledge. A key element of the reflection will be the ability of the student to link theory based evidence to their reflection. a. Students are expected to demonstrate integration of theory that reflects the knowledge and skill of a fourth year students. Students are expected to use theory/evidence/research to support your experience and observation. Course faculty are available to help students with this. 7. Format: Students are expected to include their name, the date, and the number of the indicator or indicators with a brief synopsis of what the indicator is for. This is not included in the word count. Students are expected use in-text citations to reference work that is not their own and to provide an appropriate reference page for the in-text citations. APA format is expected for both. A sample is posted on Moodle. 8. These assignments will be graded by the N402X faculty advisors. A rubric will be provided for students to follow in preparing the assignment and faculty will be using this rubric to assign grades. 3. HESI Case Study Due: September 2, 2016 Students will complete the Pre-eclampsia case found in their HESI Case Studies for Maternity. These can be found in student s Evolve account. Students will be graded on this assignment and will have one attempt to complete. Students may do this assignment together but each student must submit their own answers via their individual Evolve account. 4. Preceptor Self Study Due: July 8, 2016 At the beginning of their clinical placement students will complete select modules from an online preceptor program. This is offered through the University of Western Ontario and is called the Preceptor Education Program (PEP). It can found at the following URL Students will complete the following modules: Orientation and Preparation Learning Objectives Feedback Conflict Evaluation Each module provides the option for students to obtain a certificate of completion. These certificates are to be forwarded to the course coordinator, Patrice Drake, on or before the due date. 5. HESI Exit Exam (Version 2) Completed on Sept. 6, 2016

16 16 NURSING 402X 2016 Students will write second version of the HESI Exit exam in N402X. It will be the same format as the first HESI exit exam given in Nursing 310. Students are expected to use the remediation from the first exam to prepare for their next exam and to help focus their preparation for the NCLEX-RN. Materials Related to Preceptored Experience

17 17 NURSING 402X 2016 Arrangements for Clinical Practice: Each student will be assigned to a preceptor in a health care agency which can provide experiences to meet the course expectations. Students will share the preceptor's practice and move from observing to being supervised to being independent, as appropriate for the student and the agency. Roles of Preceptors and Faculty advisors: The School of Nursing, through the course co-ordinator and the faculty advisors, will provide ongoing support for the preceptors. The preceptor will act as a role model for the student, share her/his practice, monitor the student's practice and provide the faculty advisor with data for evaluation of the student. The faculty advisors will be responsible for helping the students to develop and meet their objectives, reviewing all written work and evaluating and grading students' practice. The faculty advisors will be in contact with students regularly to meet these responsibilities and may also observe the student in practice. The course coordinator will be in regular contact with the faculty advisors and will be aware of student s progress throughout the course. The course coordinator will also participate in meetings regarding student progress particularly those related to the evaluation process. The faculty advisor will be in contact with the preceptors working with her students at the beginning of the experience, midway through the experience and at the end of the experience. The faculty advisor and/or preceptor and/or student may initiate additional contacts as needed. Preceptorship Information Students have access to the UPEI School of Nursing Guide to Preceptorship electronically via Moodle. Students are expected to review this document to understand the various roles and responsibilities of preceptorship. Preceptors will be provided with this document as well. APPENDIX A: Policies Regarding Student Experiences in Clinical Settings The following guidelines are provided to clarify the expectations of faculty regarding student activities in the hospital setting:

18 18 NURSING 402X 2016 Dress Regulations The expectation is that students will present a professional, well-groomed appearance. Students follow university/hospital/agency dress code. See Moodle for link to dress code policy. Illness When ill, students are to: Notify the clinical agency before the beginning of their assigned shift, noting the name of the person to whom they spoke. Notify their preceptor - ensure that student and preceptor contact information has been shared. Inform their faculty advisor via voice mail or . Students and preceptors should establish plans for the student in the event that the preceptor is unable to come to work (e.g. the student does not report to work or the student is assigned to another preceptor who is knowledgeable about the guidelines for the student placement). Physician Orders All orders (including medication orders) carried out by students must be current and written or cosigned by a physician or resident. Student nurses do not accept telephone orders or verbal orders Psychomotor Skills In addition to learning the basic psychomotor skills associated with safe clinical practice, the students have learned physical assessment skills. Opportunities to practice these skills vary from student to student. Students are expected to use good judgment in assessing the amount of assistance they require with psychomotor and assessment skills and are expected to use the available unit resources and consult with the preceptor for the help they require. Students should inform their preceptors of their strengths and areas requiring further practice using an individualized personal learning plan developed by the student. Under the guidance of the preceptor, students are expected to familiarize themselves with hospital/agency guidelines. Supervision for Medications and Procedures The practice of safe physical care of patients requires that there be some mechanisms for regulating the performance of psychomotor skills by students and inexperienced nurses. Some of these mechanisms may vary from agency to agency. Students are responsible for following Agency and School of Nursing policies, procedures and guidelines. If policies vary between the Agency and the School of Nursing, the student is to follow the more restrictive of the two policies. Generally, students may perform procedures that require supervision according to the following guidelines: The student must be supervised initially by the staff RN for preparation and administration of all medications and any potentially dangerous procedures. Subsequently, the student may administer the medications (except IV) and implement the procedures on their own if the supervising RN thinks the student is capable and safe.

19 19 NURSING 402X 2016 THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES MAY BE PERFORMED BY THE STUDENT ONLY WHEN THE RN IS PRESENT and only if the agency permits. administration of approved IV medications to an IV bag or buretrol signing for narcotic and control drugs to administer to a patient THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ARE NOT TO BE PERFORMED BY STUDENTS. Drugs and IV'S: preparation and administration of IV chemotherapy counting of narcotic and controlled drugs administration of investigational drugs removal of central line or epidural catheters Administration of blood and blood products (They may assess and monitor patients receiving blood products.) Other vaginal examinations removal of continuous sutures, retention sutures, plastic surgery sutures witnessing consent forms any of the Delegated Medical Functions, so designated by the Agency SKILLS BEYOND ENTRY LEVEL - THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES* ARE NOT USUALLY PERFORMED BY ALL STUDENTS BUT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS MAY BE PERMITTED. The student may participate in the skill only under the direct supervision of the preceptor. There are several clinical skills which are within the scope of practice of Registered Nurses but are beyond entry level (formerly referred to as shared competencies). Each agency identifies which skills are considered in this category. Students do not normally participate in these skills. However factors such as context of practice and learner readiness/preparation may affect opportunities for student participation. Some agencies have developed policies for student participation in these skills. UPEI School of Nursing Faculty may give permission for individual students to take part in these skills when the following conditions have been discussed (by faculty, student and preceptor) and met: 1. The agency policy allows such participation 2. The identified skill is frequently performed and an integral part of nursing care on the unit. 3. The student is performing well in their clinical experience, according to preceptor and faculty member. 4. The student has successfully completed a learning package for the skill. Although the student must have successfully completed the learning package prior to participation in the skill, it must be recognized that the student is NOT CERTIFIED in the performance of that skill. Usually the student must complete the learning package used by the agency. Students have learned many of these skills in the Learning Resource Center at UPEI School of Nursing - IV initiation, drawing blood, administration of push meds directly into a vein or into an IV line, managing and
