TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: As the instructors for this course, we believe it is our job to foster a safe learning environment, to provide experiences that will facilitate achievement of the course outcomes, to clearly communicate expectations, and to provide evaluation. It is our expectation that each student will assume responsibility for their own learning by completing all of the reading assignments and activities provided as well as actively participating in clinical. It is the student’s responsibility to seek instructor or preceptor guidance and support in performing nursing care.

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. 3 1. Initiate and document holistic care of perinatal and pediatric patients within the scope of practice of the practical nurse. 2. Communicate effectively with patients, patients’ families and healthcare team. 3. Begin understanding of data gathering, problem-identification, planning, implementing nursing care and contributing to the evaluation within the childbirth center and pediatric setting using appropriate technology. COURSE POLICIES: Conform to NSCC policies regarding appearance and professional behavior at all times. Come to clinical prepared. You are not to perform any procedure (giving meds, dressing changes, catheters etc) without notifying your instructor or preceptor first. Failure to do so will result in immediate dismissal for the day, followed by disciplinary action. The role of the clinical instructor is one of instruction and evaluation. It is the student’s responsibility to seek instructor guidance and support in performing nursing care. For a positive clinical experience it is recommended to bring a nursing drug reference and care plan reference. Come to clinical prepared. This means being able to develop a plan of care for your assigned patient and to answer questions about your client's diagnosis, medications, and therapy with your instructor each day. It also means having the appropriate equipment and the ability to research or provide the appropriate data. Course expectations are the following: Arrive on time Come prepared Ask for help Use each other as resources Actively participate in discussion Communicate information clearly to staff, instructor, team, patients and families Use your critical thinking skills to the best of your ability when making decisions about patient care Check in with instructor/preceptor prior to meal breaks ATTENDANCE/TARDINESS POLICY There are NO make-up clinical days. All scheduled times missed will be considered an absence. It is expected that all students attend all clinical sessions, arrive on time, not leave early, and be prepared to actively participate. Students are expected to attend all orientation classes. You are expected to call instructor’s cell phone immediately to notify her that you will be late or absent. Except in the case of an absolute emergency, absence without notification prior to the start of the clinical day will constitute an unexcused absence and will be subject to disciplinary action. Any unexcused absence for any reason prevents the student from meeting course objectives and will result in a 0 grade for the day. The procedure for reporting clinical absences is to notify the instructor a minimum of 1 hour prior to the start of the clinical day. Students must call the 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. 4 instructor to report an absence. Sending a message with a fellow student will not be accepted. A “No Call, No Show” is a serious offense and may be grounds for dismissal and will be referred to the VP of Student Services. All clinical absences will be reviewed by the nursing faculty and the Nursing Director. If you have a communicable disease/condition, an injury, or a change in health status that may affect your ability to provide patient care, you are required to bring a note from the physician that specifies whether or not you may return to the clinical setting and any work-related physical constrictions. Clinical objectives must be met daily and absences will jeopardize the meeting of these objectives, which are necessary to pass the course. Attendance is pertinent to pass the course. Tardiness will reduce points on professionalism and will affect the total course grade Guidelines per the NSCC LPN Handbook: 1. Absences will jeopardize meeting daily objectives and therefore success. 2. A student is allowed one medical or family emergency absence from clinical with a doctor’s note each quarter. Any additional absences or ones that are not a medical emergency (unexcused) will result in a 0 for the day which in clinical results in failing the course. 3. Two 5-minute tardies will constitute an absence and a zero for the day which results in failing the clinical course. 4. There is no scheduled “make up” laboratory or clinical days. Any make-up work for an excused absence will be negotiated with the involved instructor. 5. In the case of an absence a. Call clinical site b. Call instructor, not another student EXPECTATION OF THE STUDENTS Because you have only two shifts in OB, you will not be giving any medications. Your experience will focus on observation as well as practice of clinical skills. You will be assigned to work with a staff nurse and will be expected to participate in caring for mothers and infants, doing assessments, and practicing any skills that are within your scope of practice as student LPNs. You are expected to arrange your nursing activities so you are on time for conferences. Students are expected to come to pre and post conference ready to discuss and actively participate. Information shared in pre and post conference regarding patients or fellow classmates is considered confidential. “What is shared in the classroom stays in the classroom”. 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. 5 NURSING CLINICAL POLICIES Guidelines for Student Conduct: Students are expected to comply with student conduct policy and procedures. Information on student responsibilities and rights is available at the following websites: http://www.seattlecolleges.com/studentrules.aspx or Intranet site: http://www.seattlecolleges.com/studentrules.aspx Patient Confidentiality Strict confidentiality should be maintained at all times. Refer to LPN Student Handbook. Cell Phone Etiquette: To avoid disruption of the learning environment, students are expected to turn off or silence cell phones. Phones are not to be on the student’s person. Do not answer phone calls while on the unit. Please use scheduled breaks to return calls. Classroom Diversity Statement: Respect for diversity is a core value of NSCC. Our college community fosters an optimal learning climate and an environment of mutual respect. We, the college community, recognize individual differences. Therefore, we are responsible for the content and tone of our statements and are empathetic speakers and listeners. Respectful and Inclusive Environment: 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. Fragrance Policy: Students are encouraged to refrain from wearing heavily scented products during class sessions, since some individuals may experience chemical sensitivities to fragrances that interfere with their learning. Do not wear any scents, perfumes, strong smelling deodorants or lotions. Transportation: Clinical instruction and experience are provided throughout the program in long-term care facilities, acute care hospitals, and clinics. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange transportation to and from these facilities. Student Ratios: Clinical placements are made to ensure that all students receive the appropriate variety of experiences. Long term care facilities and acute care facilities generally have a ratio of 6-8 students per instructor and clinics utilize the nurses as preceptors in a 1:1 ratio. Dress Code: Students are to adhere to the standards, policies, and regulations of the clinical sites during their clinical education program. These standards include wearing appropriate attire, including nametags, and patches ironed on the left upper arm at the The Seattle Community Colleges are an equal opportunity employer/program.

Nametags and patches must remain visible at all times and must not be covered by a sweater while on the floor. A sweater or T-shirt may be worn under the scrubs. Students should wear casual business attire (no jeans) with facility ID badge during the pediatric clinical if scrubs are not requested by your preceptor. Facility Orientation: If the clinical site requires a special orientation of students, students MUST attend or they will be unable to attend clinical. Each facility has unique policies, procedures, and documentation practices. Students must attend the orientation in order to be prepared to attend clinical and provide safe care for patients within these facilities. Students who do not attend the orientation will meet with the Nursing Faculty and the Program Director, and referred to the VP of Student Services. Leaving the Unit: Students are to remain at the site during the clinical assignment. Leaving the floor without notifying the staff and instructor/preceptor where patients are assigned is considered abandonment of patients. If a student is found to have abandoned his/her patients, the student may be referred to the VP of Student Services, which may lead to dismissal from the program. If the student needs to leave the floor for any reason he/she must let the nurse in charge and the instructor/preceptor know. Standard Precautions: Students are expected to follow the Standard Precautions with ALL patients regardless of whether they have a communicable disease or not. Procedures and Treatments: Students should NOT perform any procedure/treatment independently (i.e. giving meds, dressing changes, catheters etc) without first obtaining permission from the instructor/preceptor. Failure to do so may result in immediate dismissal for the day followed by disciplinary action. Clinical Errors: Clinical errors must be reported immediately to the charge nurse and the clinical instructor. An NSCC Practical Nursing Program Student incident report must be filled out, even if the instructor catches the error before the student administers the medicine or treatment. In the event that the student does perform the wrong procedure a facility incident report must also be made out. The student incident report will be placed in the student’s file until graduation. Serious errors will be reviewed by the faculty and administration and may be referred to the VP of Student Services. (See Student Clinical Incident Report in Section VII.) Injuries and Accidents: Any injuries sustained during the clinical day should be reported to the nursing instructor immediately. Student Support Services: Students are encouraged to seek campus support services when necessary to support their learning and academic progress.

Clinical Evaluation Grading is based on the attached form with the point scale of 1-4 for each category each clinical day. a. Each student receives a formal, written clinical performance evaluation from the instructor. The written clinical evaluation measures the student’s performance of the course objectives, outlines strengths and weakness, and makes appropriate recommendations for improvement if necessary. Students in danger of failing will receive a Learning Agreement, which remains in the student file until graduation from the program. (See Section VII for the Learning Agreement) b. The student must sign the evaluation to show that he/she has read the evaluation. If the student does not agree with the instructor’s evaluation he/she may make comments on the document. A copy will be given to the student. (See Clinical Evaluation Objectives/Clinical Evaluation in Appendix) c. Clinical performance will be evaluated on a daily basis. If the student is deemed unsafe, a Learning Agreement will be issued and the student will plan for improvement with the instructor. If the safety issue continues, the student will meet with the faculty and administration to discuss the student’s ability to progress in the program. Performance evaluations will be written by the instructor, reviewed by the student, and MUST be signed as evidence of having been read. The student will receive a copy. Students may write a response to instructor’s anecdotal notes. The Seattle Community Colleges are an equal opportunity employer/program.
