1 Merced College Registered Nursing 34: Advanced Medical/Surgical Nursing and Pediatric Nursing Course Description, Student Learning Outcomes and Competencies, Clinical Evaluation Tool, and Clinical Activities Portfolio Prepared by Linda Caputi, MSN, EdD, RN, ANEF, CNE June, 2012 T:\RN LVN Nursing\MyFiles\Nursing\RN\Forms\Clinical Eval\REGN 34_Clinical_Portfolio.doc 1

2 Course Student Learning Outcomes and Competencies The following course student learning outcomes and competencies represent the overall behaviors the student is to accomplish by the end of the course. They will build throughout the program to culminate in the program student learning outcomes and competencies. The individual weeky units taught in the classroom specify the specific content to be taught. As that content is taught it should be connected to the course student learning outcomes and competencies; this puts the weekly lesson content into the bigger perspective of your curriculum strucuture. The same is true for the clinical experience. Therefore, the clinical evaluation tool (CET) is developed based on these course student learning outcomes and competencies. Included with the CET are clinical activities for each competency that provide students an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to achieve that particular competency. This provides validity to the CET. Grading rubrics are used for each activity so all faculty are grading students using the same criteria and all students are aware of the criteria used to grade them. This provides reliability to the CET. Grading rubrics are included, but faculty should review these and revise if they believe the expected level of behaviors should be higher or lower than indicated. Students keep all the activities for the course in a 3 ring binder known as a clinical activity portfolio. Each of the 6 course outcomes can be divided into sections with a page divider then all the activities for the competencies for each of the outcomes are contained in the section for each that outcome. Some of the activities may be completed as students provide traditional patient care. However, some of them may be carried out as the only assignment for the day. Often two students work together on an activity then discuss their findings in postconference. It is most helpful to complete these clinical activities during clinical time with feedback from the faculty during clinical time. This promotes active learning in the context of the environment and the patient. Students can be asked to correct any errors T:\RN LVN Nursing\MyFiles\Nursing\RN\Forms\Clinical Eval\REGN 34_Clinical_Portfolio.doc 2

3 while still in the environment where the information resides and with the faculty available for feedback and discussion. Please feel free to add, delete, or revise any of the clinical portfolio activities. Nursing 34: Advanced Medical/Surgical Nursing and Pediatric Nursing Registered Nursing 34 builds on REGN 24, focusing on complex medical/surgical conditions of the adult patient and common pediatric conditions.

Consider experiences you have had that helped you provide nursing care in this situation. Describe your formal knowledge (e.g., physiology, psychology, communication skills), previous nursing experience with a similar problem, and/or personal experiences that helped guide you as you worked with the patient. Describe your role as the nurse working in this situation. Describe any emotions you had about the situation. What physician/inter professional orders were written focused on this condition and how will you implement nursing actions related to these order? 43

44 Noticing: What did you notice about the situation initially? Describe what you noticed as you spent more time with the patient and /or family. Interpreting: Describe what you thought about the situation (e.g., its cause, potential resolutions, patterns you noticed). Describe any similar situations you have encountered in practice before. Describe any similarities and differences you observed when compared with the current situation. What other information (e.g., assessment data, evidence) did you decide you needed as you considered the situation? How did you obtain this information? What help with problem solving did you get from your professional partner? Your conclusion: What did your observations and data interpretation lead you to believe? How did they support your response to the situation? Include pertinent pathophysiology and/or psychopathology. Responding: After considering the situation, what was your goal for the patient, family, and /or staff? What was your nursing response, or what interventions did you do? List all actions that you took. Describe stresses you experienced as you responded to the patient or others involved in the situation. Reflection in Action What happened? How did the patient, family and/or staff respond? What did you do next? Reflection on Action and Clinical Learning Describe three ways your nursing care skills expanded during this experience. Name three things you might do differently if you encountered this kind of situation again. What additional knowledge, information and skills do you need when encountering this kind of situation or a similar situation in the future? Describe any changes in your values or feelings as a result of this experience. This reflection tool is adapted from Tanner s Clinical Judgment Model: Tanner, C.A.
