Course Requirements: Didactic
1. Attendance: The didactic classes will be provided in-person at the assigned class time.
Mandatory attendance at all lecture/discussion sessions is required. Students are expected
to come to the class on time. Students who are repeatedly late may receive an academic
warning at the discretion of the course leader. Students are also expected to stay for the
entire class. Leaving the class before it is over will be considered an absence unless the
student has provided a valid excuse to the instructor prior to leaving.
If unable to attend class, students are expected to inform the course professor by email
before class and obtain information missed from a fellow classmate. Should any student
foresee missing class this semester for religious holidays, the student should submit in
writing to the Course Leader the date(s) of anticipated absence by Week 2 to be excused.
2. Exams: Students must have a combined average exam grade of 74.5% or higher to pass
the course. Please refer to the Topical Outline for exam dates.
If a combined average of 74.5% or higher is not earned on the 3 unit exams, the HESI
case study and HESI exam scores will NOT be included in the final course grade
calculation. A combined average grade of the 3 unit exams less than 74.5% will
constitute a failure in the course. **The FINAL COURSE GRADE MUST also total
74.5 in order to pass the course (to include unit exams 1, 2, 3, plus the HESI case study
and HESI exam grades)
Exams will be administered via ExamSoft. Students must download ExamSoft
(Examplify) software and set up their accounts prior to the first exam.
3. HESI/Evolve Case studies: Students are required to complete 5 case studies. Each case
study is worth 1 point. The student must score at least 90% on each case study and
must be completed by the given due dates to receive points. The student will not
receive any points for a score less than 90% and/or case studies completed after the due
date. HESI case studies can be found in Evolve (https://evolve.elsevier.com/cs/).
4. HESI Standardized Exam: is a standardized testing and preparation program to prepare
for NCLEX. The Evolve resources will help you achieve a high HESI score. You are
strongly encouraged to use the resources (practice exams, patient reviews and case
studies) available on the Evolve website.
In this course, you will be required to take the two standardized HESI exams related to
the course. Your score on the HESI exam will be 5% of your course grade. A HESI
score of 850 is considered to be the minimum to predict success on NCLEX. Based on
the score of your HESI exam, you will receive an “individualized remediation plan”.
The remediation plan indicates your strengths and weaknesses, and it provides guidance
on how to improve your performance. Approximately 2 weeks after taking the first
HESI exam, all students will take a second course-related HESI exam. If you have
completed your remediation plan, you should achieve a higher score on the second HESI
exam. The higher score (conversion score) will be used for the 5% of your course grade.
5. Electronic Communication: All correspondence between student and instructor will be
through the email registered with Rutgers University and is linked to Canvas. There will
be no communication through private email accounts. It is the student’s responsibility to
respond to the instructor in a timely fashion, much as how the student expects the
professor to respond to them in a timely manner. In case you have a technical issue on
your computer, contact your faculty immediately.
a. DO NOT use personal email addresses as they often wind up in a spam folder.
Due to the nature of rampant spam emails, viruses and other computer problems,
the professor WILL NOT respond to emails unless they are from Rutgers email
accounts. Please ensure that your FULL NAME is in the email when writing to
the course professor.
b. Emails to the faculty will not be answered on evenings or weekends. Emails sent
by students after 5 pm Monday through Thursday will be answered the next day;
emails sent by students on Fridays after 5 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays will
be answered on Monday.
6. Audio or videotaping (or use of any other electronic recording media) of the Nursing
Care Provider II lectures is not permitted unless the student presents the course
professor with valid documentation for this accommodation from the Office of Disability
Services. http://studentaffairs.rutgers.edu/disability/docs/ld.pdf. If the student has this
documentation, he/she then needs to complete an agreement form with the course
professor (see http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~polcomp/fachand.shtml#appd )
7. Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: As a courtesy to both faculty
and students, all portable cell phones, Blackberries, I-pods, I-phones, I-watches etc. must
be turned OFF before attending the didactic sessions. When class is in session, the use of
Instant Messenger type communication systems, playing games, and watching video clips
on laptop computers, and text messaging on cell phones is unprofessional and a
distraction to faculty and other students. Thus, they are STRICTLY prohibited DURING
all lecture sessions. Students found engaging in these behaviors will be asked to leave
the didactic session and it will be counted as an absence.
8. Rules for all exams for this course:
 All exams will be given via ExamSoft software.
 No cell phones, PDAs (Palm Pilots, etc.), Blackberry/Blackberry-type devices, pagers,
smart watches, or other electronic devices are permitted. If these are brought into the
exam room, they must be turned OFF and left with books, bags, etc. at the front or
side of the classroom. NO scrap paper will be allowed.
 The professor’s job during an exam is to proctor the exam. Therefore, the professor
will NOT be able to answer students’ questions during the exam since this detracts
from the job of proctoring.
 Students may NOT leave their seats until they are finished with the exam. Please
ensure that personal needs are met before the exam is started.
 No talking is permitted once the exam BEGINS.
 Upon completion of the exam, students MUST show the professor proof that the exam
has been uploaded.
 Students who are absent on the day of the exam due to illness must email the professor
BEFORE the exam to explain the absence. A doctor’s note is required for missed
exams due to illness. The professor must be notified before the administration of the
exam, or a ZERO will be given for that exam, and the student will not have the
opportunity to make up the exam. Permission and clearance to take a make-up exam
must be granted by your professor. All make-up exams must be taken within one
week.
 At the discretion of the course professor, make up exams may be of a different format
and have fewer questions than the regular unit examinations and final exam.
 Any challenges to exam questions must be submitted to the course faculty member in
writing, via email, within 24 hours of review of the exam. All challenges must be
accompanied by specific citations to course assigned reading, including page number,
and a scholarly argument to support the challenge. Faculty decisions concerning
challenges are final.

Exams will be available to review for 2 weeks after the exam is taken. No exams
will be reviewed after this time period. No cellphones or recording device are
allowed during exam reviews.
Failure of any student to adhere to the above rules will result in forfeiture of the exam with a
grade of F for the exam. The School of Nursing and University policies on academic integrity
will be strictly enforced. Again, the policies can be located at the following website:
http://academicintegrity.rutgers.edu/integrity.shtml.
9. Disability Services: Students receiving disability services must provide the course
professor with their needs/accommodations IN WRITING FROM THE DISABILITY
OFFICE. If not submitted, there is no guarantee that the accommodations can be met,
and the student will be required to follow the test absence policy for that exam.
10. Course Requirements and School of Nursing Policies:
It is the student’s responsibility to meet the requirements outlined in the course syllabus
as well as those outlined in the School of Nursing policies and guidelines at:
http://nursing.rutgers.edu/catalog/index.html
Course Requirements: Lab
1. Attendance: It is mandatory that students attend all skills laboratory sessions. Lab
classes will be in-person. If you are absent related to illness, you must provide the lab
instructor a note from the health care provider. Any absences must be made-up by
scheduling and attending another lab class (with permission from your lab instructor and
the lab instructor of the class you wish to attend). If you don’t make up the absence, you
will receive an incomplete in the course regardless of your grade.
Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late to the lab class will not be allowed to
attend the class and are required make up the class as per the course policy for absence.
Students who are repeatedly late, may receive an academic warning at the discretion of
course leader.
2. Class preparation: Students are expected to come prepared to all laboratory sessions
(readings, videos, and online modules). Any student giving evidence of not having
prepared for a laboratory session will be asked to leave the class. Consistent lack of
preparation on the part of the student will be grounds for failure in the Laboratory portion
of the course and subsequent failure of the course.
3. Online Module quizzes/ Online Clinical Skills Essentials: are found in Evolve
(https://evolve.elsevier.com/cs/). Students have multiple accesses to the quiz. The student
must score at least 80% on each module quiz. After watching the skill video, student
must complete all quizzes by the given due dates and the screen shot or the print out
proof of completion of module quiz should be given to the lab instructor. If not submitted,
you will be asked to leave the class as per lab faculty discretion.
4. Mandatory Skills Check-Off List: Students must demonstrate satisfactory performance of
all required nursing skills as reflected on The Mandatory Skills Check-Off List in order to
pass the laboratory portion of the course. Failure to successfully perform skills will be
considered a failure in the course regardless of the course grade. Students are
responsible for submitting their signed Skills Check-Off List to their laboratory instructor
at the end of the course as confirmation of completion of all assigned skills.
Students are strongly encouraged to practice outside of the class time independently or
with the Centers for Clinical Learning (CCL) faculty during the scheduled practice
(remotely). You must make an appointment to practice with the CCL faculty as practice
times are going to be limited to meet CDC requirements for social distancing.
Three Major Skills: require formal skill testing in the lab using the Skill
Competency Guideline.
 Dry Dressing Change
 Tracheostomy Suctioning
 Urinary Catheterization
5. Policy for testing of the three major skills:
Students are provided opportunities to successfully demonstrate skill competencies.
If a student does not pass any of the major skills on the first attempt, one retesting
opportunity will be given. One week is required between re-tests and the student must
practice the failed skill with their lab faculty or CCL faculty prior to re-test. There is no
practice of skills with the lab staff on the day of test out.
Failure to pass any second attempt of one skill will constitute an automatic failure of
the course regardless of the course grade.
6. Dress code: Students are required to wear a full uniform when attending lab classes. Hair
should be pulled back and off the shoulders.
