XI. SYSTEM FOR STUDENT GRADING AND EVALUATION
A. Grading Scale:
The grading scale for the Tulsa Community College Nursing Program is:
100 - 90 = A
89 - 80 = B
75 - 79 = C
60 - 74 = D
59 & below = F
Successful completion of this course and eligibility for progression to the next clinical
nursing course is determined by:
 Satisfactory completion of all clinical components of the course.
 An earned score of 90% on the Level 3 medication dosage calculation competency
examination. The dosage exam is administered in the NURS 2433 Nursing Care of
Children and Their Families Course.

C. Requirements for Successful Completion of NURS 2453
1. Earn 75% on the examination average
A total of 3 unit exams will be administered. Examinations are calculated on a total
point system. The number of possible points for each exam may differ. The sum of
the earned examination points divided by the points possible equals the examination
average.

The examination average must be 75% or higher to pass the course. There will
be no rounding of examination grades. If the examination average is 75% or
greater, the examination average is weighted at 68% of the course grade.

If the examination average is less than 75%, grades earned for other course
requirements will not be included in the final course grade. The final course
grade will be the examination average ONLY when a 75% is not achieved.

A computerized test through HESI is required by all student at the completion
of the course. Up to 3 test points (not percentage points) will be awarded based
on passing performance. Any student who scores below a 700 on the HESI
exam will be required to meet with faculty to review the results.
2. Satisfactory completion of all required projects and written papers:
Rehabilitation Care Plan
The student will formulate a care plan for a client who has experienced a change in
functional ability. The student must utilize the Nursing Process to make clinical
decisions and formulate a plan of care for the client, with the primary focus being on
functional ability. This assignment is worth 100 points and is calculated as 8% of the
final grade.
Oncology Nursing Care Map
Students develop a nursing care map for one client based on assessed psychosocial
and physical needs. The client is selected in the oncology setting. The case study
explores both the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the disease process, and its
impact on the selected client. This assignment is worth 100 points and is calculated
as 8% of the final grade.
Hospice Critical Incident
This two-part exercise allows the student to think critically and reflect upon a
selected personal learning moment and on the critical incidents experienced by other
students while in the clinical setting. Students will: 1) initiate an on-line discussion
using their critical incident as an initial posting; and 2) post a meaningful response
4
to fellow student’s postings. This assignment is worth 100 points and is calculated as
8% of the final grade.
Laboratory Grade
The laboratory grade is calculated based on the completion of four components. The
lab components are as follows: 1. Participation in LAL #1 group activities; 2.
Toolkit for Nursing Excellence at End of Life Transition (TNEEL) mythbuster
assignment; 3. Simchart unfolding case study assignment; and 4. Group project
presentation in LAL #2.
Each clinical group will develop a presentation based upon the virtual hospice client
presented on Blackboard®. The group will identify a priority problem and develop a
care plan with appropriate teaching for the problem. Each group will have the client
phase assigned based on clinical picture portrayed on BlackBoard®.
The total laboratory grade is worth 100 points. This score is calculated as 8% of the
final grade.
3. Satisfactory performance of all pass/fail clinical performance requirements.
Clinical Performance Evaluation Profile (SPEP)
Students are expected to demonstrate professional behaviors, critical thinking and
the nursing process in the care of clients during all clinical practicum experiences.
Each week the student’s clinical performance is evaluated. A description of expected
behaviors is presented in the STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
PROFILE. The procedure used to record student performance of the SPEP is
described in section XII.
XI.
STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROFILE (SPEP)
The STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROFILE (SPEP) identifies
objectives that reflect desired professional behaviors that are categorized in the roles
of the Associate Degree Nurse. After the completion of each clinical week, the
STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROFILE is used by the faculty to
record the student’s ability to demonstrate:
 Safe and effective nursing care
 Professional responsibility
 Commitment to learning and self-development
A cumulative evaluation of “Satisfactory” on the STUDENT PERFORMANCE
EVALUATION PROFILE is required to pass the clinical portion of the course and
to progress to Level 4 of the Nursing Program.
A. Evaluation of student performance will be based on how consistently performance
objectives are met. A summary of student performance is computed weekly.
5
B. If performance of a clinical practicum objective is consistently demonstrated by
the student, achievement of the objective is “Satisfactory.” A check mark is placed
beside that objective on the STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
PROFILE.
C. When a student demonstrates excellence in the performance of a particular
objective, a plus sign (+) is placed beside that objective on the STUDENT
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROFILE.
D. If a student is unable to demonstrate consistent performance of a particular
objective or an objective is not applicable during a certain week, or if the student’s
performance of an objective is not observed by the faculty, one of the following
symbols is recorded on the STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROFILE:
+ = Exceeded expectations on completion of object
 = Objective met
I = Objective inconsistently met
N = Objective not met
NA = Objective not applicable for the week
O = Objective not observed by instructor
* = Starred objective: Considered a critical objective and must be met
satisfactorily or may convert to a “U” for the week
E. If the student earns an “N” for two or more clinical performance objectives, the
student’s grade for that clinical week may be recorded as a “U,” indicating
unsatisfactory performance.
F. When a student consistently demonstrates achievement of all clinical objectives
with fewer than two “N’s” for that clinical week, clinical performance is satisfactory
and an “S” is recorded that week’s clinical grade.
G. If the student earns a “U” for any clinical week, a counseling form documenting
student performance and recommendations for improvement may be composed by
the clinical instructor(s) and discussed with, and signed by, the student. A copy is
then placed in the student’s permanent file.
H. If two weeks of unsatisfactory performance in the clinical practicum is achieved
during the semester, then the student is placed on probation. Three clinical weeks of
unsatisfactory clinical performance during the semester constitutes failure of the
clinical practicum of NURS 2453. (Refer to the current TCC Nursing Program
Handbook for more information regarding unsatisfactory clinical performance).
I. Some clinical performance objectives are starred, (*). If a student does not
satisfactorily meet a starred objective, the student will receive an “N” for that
objective and may/will receive a “U” for that clinical week.
6
J. The student is expected to demonstrate progressive development in the
performance of clinical skills and problem-solving during the clinical practicum
throughout the semester. Students should strive to demonstrate satisfactory
achievement of all objectives by the completion of the course.
K. The student is expected to sign all SPEPs at the completion of the course. It may
be necessary for the student to make an appointment with faculty in order to sign the
SPEP. Failure to sign may result in an Incomplete (I) for the course grade.

XIII. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR NURS 2453
A. TCC Standards
1.
Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4
the duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that
applies to the course. Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member
assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate
withdrawal from a course (‘W’ grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal
and/or change to an audit from a course after the drop/add period can alter the
financial aid award for the current and future semesters. Students may receive an
outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students
who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade
of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student.
2. Communications:
a. Email communications: All TCC students receive a designated TCC email
address (ex: jane.doe@mail.tulsacc.edu). All communications to you about
TCC and course assignments will be sent to your TCC email address; and you
must use TCC email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor
regarding this course. IF YOU DO NOT ROUTINELY READ YOUR TCC
E-MAIL, FORWARD E-MAIL TO YOUR PERSONAL E-MAIL
ACCOUNT. NO EXCUSES WILL BE ACCEPTED RELATED TO LOST

B. TCC Nursing Standards
1. College/Program Policies
The student in NURS 2453, Nursing Promotion for Quality of Life, is responsible for
knowing and complying with all of the policies published in the current edition of the
TCC Student Code of Conduct and Policy Handbook, and the current TCC Nursing
Program Student Handbook. The student should review both policy books periodically
during the semester.
Students of the TCC Nursing Program retain the right to have grievances addressed in
a fair and timely manner, and will be accorded full due process by the faculty and
administration of the program and college. In a similar manner, the TCC Nursing
Program also has the right to address unprofessional behaviors (according to the
“Uniform Health Sciences Academic Standards, Probation, Temporary Exclusions,
Dismissals, and Readmission Procedures”) and inadequate academic progress
(according to the “Academic Grievance Procedure and Due Process Guidelines”) as
outlined in the TCC Nursing Program Student Handbook and posted on Nursing
Connections. This statement serves as notification of these policies and of the
student’s responsibility to follow these guidelines in respect to these events.
10
2. Pregnancy
A student who believes she is pregnant must notify the Course Facilitator within the
first week of class or immediately upon confirmation of the pregnancy. Pregnant
students must be able to perform all nursing activities in a manner which will not harm
herself, her fetus or compromise client safety. For the protection of the pregnant
student and fetus, NURS 2453 Course Facilitator must receive a Health Status Release
Statement from a licensed healthcare provider during the pregnancy. Refer to the TCC
Nursing Program Student Handbook.
3. Unsafe Nursing Practice and Unprofessional Conduct
If a student demonstrates unsafe nursing practice or unprofessional conduct as defined
and described in the current TCC Nursing Program Student Handbook, faculty will
impose any one or more of the sanctions identified.
4. Course Announcements
Announcements, notifications of changes in course activities or other necessary
correspondence with students will placed on Blackboard. It is the responsibility of the
students to access this information daily. No excuses will be accepted for students not
knowing information that is communicated on Blackboard.
5. Student Attendance Policy for Clinical and Laboratory Courses
The TCC Nursing Program expects that its students will recognize that they have
entered a profession in which commitment to full participation in the learning
environment is an essential component of what will become a style of life-long
learning. Attendance is expected for all educational activities, and is required for
seminars and laboratory sessions. In all clinical/laboratory courses, attendance is
required as students are considered to be part of the nursing team.
Student absences for professional, personal, or family events may be granted at the
discretion of the course faculty. The requests will be reviewed by the associate dean if
necessary. This policy is designed for special circumstances and it should not be
considered a guarantee that a student will be granted the permission.
Clinical Absences
The student must notify the clinical instructor and the clinical facility prior to the start
of the clinical shift and call the Nursing Division office. Students who fail to notify
any of the above are considered “No show/No report” and will receive a clinical “U”.
Clinical makeup is determined in consultation with the clinical faculty. If a student
does not meet the clinical objectives, the course must be repeated.
Laboratory Absences
Learning Activity Laboratory is another required learning experience with objectives a
student must achieve in order to be successful in the course. The student must call the
instructor prior to the start of the scheduled lab. Make-up labs will be determined and
scheduled by course faculty. Students are responsible for communicating with faculty
so that all course objectives are completed for the lab portion of any course by the end
of the semester. If a student does not meet these objectives, the course must be
repeated.
11
Excessive Absence or Non-Attendance
Faculty may initiate an administrative withdrawal (“AW”) for student non-attendance
or excessive absences in any component of the course. If absences are excessive, as
determined by faculty, a counseling form documenting the absences & recommending
plans for improvement in attendance is composed by the instructor(s) and discussed
with, and signed by, the student. An administrative withdrawal from the course may be
initiated by faculty if absences continue. An official withdrawal from the course,
regardless of the reason, prevents the student from attending any further course
activities.
6. Late Written Assignments/Incomplete Assignments –
Written work is due at the time/date designated. Work that is submitted after the due
day/time will not be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made with the
instructor. If late work is accepted there will be up to a 10% deduction if turned in
after the due date and time.
If a written assignment is evaluated with a score below 75%, the student will be
notified. The student will be required to consult with faculty to identify areas of
weakness or knowledge deficits, and may have the opportunity to redo the assignment.
Students must demonstrate in the assignments appropriate use of the Nursing Process
in planning client care. The highest possible grade for a second attempt is 76%.
7. Clinical Practicum Preparation – A student who reports to the clinical practicum
experience unprepared or who demonstrates unsatisfactory conduct and/or appearance
may be dismissed for that day at the discretion of the faculty. An unsatisfactory weekly
performance (“U”) will be recorded on the STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE
EVALUATION PROFILE. Arrangements must be made with the clinical instructor
to make-up missed clinical time due to the absence.
8. Examinations
a. Scantron -It is the student’s responsibility to read and follow the directions
printed on each test. Students may write on the test booklet, however, the
Scantron® computer answer sheet is the final and only testing record that will be
scored. Students should give careful attention to insure that the Scantron®
computer answer sheet accurately reflects the intended response to each test
question.
b. Preparation for Examinations – Students may prepare one (1) 4X6 inch index
card with hand written notes from content presented in theory class and learning
activities laboratory. One card, with notes on the front and back only, may be
used during each examination. This index card, with the student’s name on it,
will be turned in at the end of the exam. It will not be returned to the student. No
card will be used for the HESI test.
12
c. Tardiness for Examinations – Students who arrive 10 minutes late or more will
NOT be allowed to take the examination at the scheduled time with the class. The
examination will be placed in the TCC Testing Center by noon on the day of the
scheduled examination. The missed examination must be taken no later than one
week after the original examination date.
d. Absence from Examinations – If a student cannot attend an examination, the
Nursing Division Office, not the exam coordinator or faculty advisor, is to be
notified prior to the start of the examination. Students must contact an
examination coordinator immediately after the absence to make arrangements for
a make-up examination.
e. Make-up Examinations – Make-up exams MUST be completed within one week
of the administration of the original scheduled examination. The make-up exam
will be different from the original exam and may include essay questions. All
make-up exams are taken in the Testing Center unless students are informed of
an alternate location. Time allowed and conditions for testing are the same for the
original administration of the exam. The student must arrive in the testing center
early enough to allow sufficient time to complete the exam before the center
closes. Students are REQUIRED to bring and surrender a Photo ID, such as a
driver’s license for the duration of the testing session. No one is allowed to test
without the required identification.
f. Testing in the Education Access Center – Students who test in the Education
Access Center must contact the Instructors during the first week of the semester.
g. Review of Examinations – Students have the opportunity to review exams
following each exam. Exams must be reviewed prior to the administration of
subsequent exams. It is the responsibility of the student to request assistance from
faculty for learning enhancement activities.
h.
9.
Posting of Examination Scores on Blackboard® – Scores will be posted after
the NURS 2453 faculty has reviewed the exam and analyzed the statistical results.
Examination scores will be posted within one week following administration of
an examination.
Taping of Classes/Lab
Students may audiotape classes with the consent of the instructor and peers.
Consent to tape, duplicate or transcribe recorded information is for the use of
currently enrolled students only. Posting to the internet for use by other than
enrolled students is prohibited. Taping and selling tapes for profit is
considered unprofessional conduct.
13
10.
Presence of Children in the Classroom or Clinical Facility
It is a TCC policy that children are not permitted in any classroom or laboratory.
Unattended children are not permitted in any TCC building. Children are also not
to accompany a student to or be left unattended at any clinical practicum facility.
13
