VI. Student Learning Assessment
1. The Seattle Community College District uses a numerical grading system. A cumulative 2.0 grade point
average is mandatory in all required general education, science and nursing courses to enter and to
continue in the program.
2. The NEEDL program requires a minimum of 2.0 (77%) average for ALL UNIT EXAMS (weighted), MIDTERM
& FINAL EXAMINATIONS in each category order to pass the course. All exams listed above will be calculated
prior to adding in other assignment grades. Examination grades below 2.0 (77%) are not passing grades for the
NEEDL program. Decimal grades 0.5 and higher will be rounded up to the nearest whole number and grades 0.4
and lower will be rounded down.
3. Numerical grades may be considered equivalent to letter grades as follows:

4. All courses that are designated as “linked” must be taken and passed concurrently, with a grade of at least 2.0 in
each course. These include the following linked theory/clinical/lab courses, which must be taken together:
NEEDL LPN Program: NEO101/111, NEO 102/112, NEO 103/113, NEO 104/114
Course Grading Breakdown NEO 111:
NEO 111 skills lab is graded as a pass/fail course. Students must earn at least 770 points to achieve the 77% it
takes to pass the course. Lab is 44% of the grade, and clinical is 56%.The student will be graded on two
sections that include:
Lab Section 1: Participation (300 points total)
25 points (per class): Attendance (required at all Lab sessions). Tardiness and unexcused absences will affect
the student’s grade and could result in failure of the course. Refer to section VI Course and Classroom Policies
under Attendance for additional details. You must be present at the beginning of class sessions, actively
participate in all sessions throughout the day, and not leave class early in order to earn all participation points.
The Seattle Community Colleges are an equal opportunity employer/program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals
with disabilities. This project was funded in part by a grant awarded under the President’s Community-Based Job Training Grants, as implemented
by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment & Training Administration.
P a g e | 14
25 points (per class): Participation It is expected that you arrive to lab prepared. All course material should
be reviewed on ANGEL, and the confirmation or review completed. It is also expected that the student
participate by contributing ideas, interacting with peers and instructors, engaging in class activities, maintaining
attention to class work, brining needed supplies to class as specified and adhere to student classroom
expectation outlined below. Failure to adhere to class participation guidelines will result in zero participation
points for the day.
Lab Section 2: Skill Set Evaluations: (700 points total)
There are twelve skill sets. Nine of the sets are worth 50 points each; two of the sets are worth 75 points each,
and one skill set is worth 100 points. (See course outline and schedule) Students are expected to practice and
prepared for testing during the allotted practice sessions. The student will then sign up for evaluation. *Each
student must pass each skills set on either the first or the second attempt. Each skills test must be performed
correctly, in a timely manner, and with a maximum of two cues. A cue is considered a prompting by the
instructor for omitted information critical to the skill, or recognition of a failed or omitted step in the procedure
in which the student is unable to identify and correct. Should the student not pass the skill set on the second
attempt, the student will not earn the 5 points allotted for that skill. However, the student will be asked to work
with a tutor or instructor in order to practice the skill and have it verified by a course instructor before the
student can advance to the next skill set.

o Obtain notes, handouts and instructional information from peers if you are absent. It is NOT the
responsibility of the instructor to provide missed information to absent students.
 Maintain a professional environment
o Be on time to class
o Respect classroom diversity and inclusion: The instructor and student share the responsibility to
foster a learning environment that is welcoming, supportive, and respectful of cultural and
individual differences. Open and respectful communication that allows for the expression of
varied opinions and multicultural perspectives encourages us to learn freely from each other.

smoking is allowed within 25 feet of public places
o You may be asked to leave the classroom if you are causing a distraction.
 Follow the Practical Nursing and Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse Ladder Programs
Student Handbook policies and procedures
Attendance:
Guidelines:
1. Absences will jeopardize meeting daily objectives and therefore success.
2. A student is allowed one medical or family emergency absence from clinical/lab each quarter not to
exceed 33% of that clinical/laboratory experience (for example, if OB is 3 days, a student can not miss
more than 1 day for emergency purposes and pass the course ). Any additional absences OR a tardy
greater than 45 minutes OR absences that are not a medical emergency (unexcused) will result in a 0 for
the day which in clinical/lab may result in failing the course.
3. Two tardies of greater than 5 minutes in clinical/laboratory will constitute an absence and a zero for the
day which may result in failing the clinical/laboratory course.
4. There is no scheduled “make up” laboratory or clinical days.
5. In the case of an absence, the student must:
a. Call their instructor a minimum of 1 hour before the start of clinical/lab and report the absence and
reason why. Sending a message with a fellow student will not be accepted.
b. Provide a note in writing to the Director of Nursing explaining the reason for the absence.
c. Any injuries or change in health status requires a healthcare provider’s release to attend clinical and

Academic Integrity:
Each student is responsible for his/her own learning and personal integrity in the learning process. Cheating is
defined as giving or receiving inappropriate assistance from another person such as giving and/or receiving
answers to test questions, or failing to give credit to sources, homework or care plan assignments. Giving credit
to sources means that any copying, whether it is from a book or the internet, is plagiarism. In other words, the
work you do must be your own. Any act of course related dishonesty, including but not limited to cheating or
plagiarism will receive a zero for the assignment or exam. The zero will be averaged into the grade for that
section. The matter may be referred to the V.P. of Student Services.
Each student must demonstrate academic integrity by doing his/ her own work in each class, except as the
instructor specifically directs otherwise. See Section 4.7. Cheating and plagiarism violate the student conduct
code at NSCC. See WAC 132F-121-110, WAC 132F-121-120 (Section 9.3), and other applicable rules. When
an instructor determines that cheating, plagiarism, or other dishonesty has occurred, the instructor need not give
credit and may adjust accordingly the student’s grade on the work product in question. In addition, disciplinary
sanctions may be imposed separately under the cited WAC rules.
Academic dishonesty could involve but is not limited to:
1. Having a tutor or friend complete a portion of your assignment
2. Having a reviewer make extensive revisions to an assignment.
3. Copying or obtaining work submitted by another student.
4. Providing work to another student for use as their own.
5. Using information from online information services without proper citation (plagiarism).
6. Taking exam answers from another student’s paper.
7. Using unauthorized materials to answer exam questions.
Examination Conduct:
Students are expected to complete examinations without the use of reference materials, notes or classmates
unless otherwise instructed in writing on a quiz or exam.
Dress Code:
1. Non-distracting, appropriate clothing, with no cleavage on women showing and all pants secured at the
waist and undergarments should be not be visible
2. Shoes and shirts/blouses must be worn. Students are to wear scrub shirts and pants to skills lab.
3. Scents should not be worn as some people are sensitive to chemicals and scents.
4. A watch with a sweep second hand;
5. Hair must be kept off the collar and neat;
6. Beards, sideburns, and mustaches are to be trimmed and neat. Male students without beards are
expected to shave daily;

assessments and interventions related to the care of the client. The ICC sheets should reflect your understanding
of the client's condition, the nursing process and the plan of care as it relates to the client. Please read the
recommended electronic resources to become familiar with this patient population and their basic care needs.
This assignment is due at the end of the last clinical day. The assignment can be hand delivered to the instructor
at the end of clinical.
2) Braden Risk Assessment Scale: Please complete the Braden risk assessment scale on your patient. Total the
score to determine if the client is at risk for a pressure ulcer. This assignment is due on the last clinical day
(December 1) please hand deliver to the instructor at the end of clinical.
3) Learning log and reflective journal:
This assignment is due: day 3 and 7. The learning log may be submitted by hand to the instructor at the end of
clinical. Keeping a daily reflective journal allows you reflect on your clinical experiences, and document
progress of your learning throughout the quarter. It includes reflecting on experiences and data that have been
pertinent or helpful in your clinical practice. Guided reflection assists you to reflect on the clinical experience in
order to become increasingly effective in the application of theory to practice. The reflective journal provides a
window into your experience.
Expectations on Patient Assignments:
Each student is to introduce him or herself to their assigned patient and/or family member and obtain the
patient’s verbal consent to be their nursing student. If the patient and/or family refuse, please notify your
instructor.
Students should identify themselves promptly to the co-assigned LPN/RN and get report on their patient(s). It is
your responsibility to let the instructor and LPN/RN know what you can and cannot do for your patient. It is
also your responsibility to let your instructor and LPN/RN know when to be present or help with anything and
what is happening with your patient and your progress in providing care throughout the shift. DON’T WAIT
FOR THE INSTRUCTOR/LPN/RN TO COME TO YOU!
Procedures, Treatments & Medications:
Students are expected to notify instructor of all upcoming procedures, treatments and medications due for
assigned patients. Students will perform procedures and treatments with either the instructor or the nurse
assigned to the patient. Students should NOT perform any procedure/treatment independently without first
obtaining permission from the instructor. Failure to do so will result in immediate dismissal for the day and
disciplinary action. Medications may ONLY be administered to assigned patients after reviewing each
medication with instructor and receiving permission to administer medications. You should be prepared to
discuss each medication in detail, including: classification; purpose of medication; side effects; and nursing
considerations. In addition, you must demonstrate knowledge of the medication administration process.
