Evaluation

Evaluation is an ongoing process included in all areas of the nursing program, to assist the student and the instructor in identifying the student’s growth. It is hoped that the evaluation process will be viewed by the student as a means of continually improving their ability to give professional care.

Examinations are given throughout the semester and a comprehensive final examination is given during the final week of the semester. Feedback on the exam is given as quickly as possible in order to clarify responses and to assist the student in using the exam as a positive learning experience. If desired, the individual may review this final exam by requesting to do so with the instructor.

Remediation

Academic:

  1. If a student receives less than a 78% on any unit exam, they may be required to do remediation activities.
  2. This remediation assignment will be determined by the individual faculty member and must be completed before the next exam.

Clinical:

  1. When a student receives a failing score on any of the seven indicators on the Clinical Evaluation Tool., they will be required to do the remediation activities in the lab.
  2. This remediation assignment and due date will be determined by the designated faculty member.

Student Instructor Conferences

Conferences are to be scheduled as often as either the student or the instructor feels that they are necessary.

The purpose of the conference is to (1) guide the student’s progress in meeting the course objectives by reviewing written nursing process reports for assigned patients; and (2) enable the student to gain insight into their needs related to clinical functioning.

Student Evaluation by Instructors

The provision of nursing care is evaluated on a continual basis through:

  1. A review by the student and the instructor of the nursing care planned by the student prior to giving care.
  2. Student-Instructor conference in the clinical setting and/or during a conference arranged by either instructor or student.
  3. Directed supervision of nursing care and use of anecdotal notes which are shared with student during student-instructor conferences.

Evaluations Submitted by Each Student

  1. Course evaluation—submitted at the end of each course.
  2. Self-evaluation—will be required throughout each semester. The course objectives are utilized as a basis for assessing progress at the conclusion of the course. A review of what is helping and hindering the student clinically is especially helpful for student-instructor conferences. This will assist students to see what will benefit them most and allow the faculty to help them attain the highest level of practice possible in relation to their potential.
