SEE REVERSE SIDE OF THIS PAGE FOR NOTATIONS L:\PROJECTS\Counsel\CURRICULUM GUIDESHEETS\WOIDERSK\2009\1 & 2 Yr\Nursing RN.doc 36 72/80 NURSING – (ADN) PROGRAM (AAS CODE 20564) Notations * + A "C” (2.0) minimum grade is required for this course. This course must be taken in order to validate for entry into the nursing clinical sequence. 1. Students must have completed BIO 152 and BIO 153 or BIO 240 and BIO 241 within the past ten years. If this time period is exceeded, an approved biology course must be taken to refresh this content. Please see the nursing program coordinator to determine which course(s) must be taken. It is recommended that BIO 203 also be current within ten years. 2. It is important that you check a semester ahead of time when you plan on validating for the nursing program to make sure course requirements have not changed. Updating this information can be found through the nursing web page: www.delta.edu/nursing, calling the Counseling Office (989-6869330) or the Nursing Discipline Office (989-686-9500 or 989-686-9274). 3. Prerequisite qualifications for validation are: (a) be admitted to Delta College, (b) provide official transcripts reflecting high school diploma or GED, and all other colleges or training institutions attended, (c) completion of core and general education courses with a grade of “C” or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or greater in core courses for validation. PHL 215 is recommended if you are pursuing a BSN degree, Math competency exam is offered through the Assessment/Testing Office in D101. A minimum prerequisite of Reading Level 5 is required for validation. 4. Due to limited capacity of clinical facilities and the specific requirements of the accreditation agencies, this Program is considered a “limited enrollment” program. You will be eligible to attempt to register for clinical courses only after successfully completing the prerequisite qualifications and receiving a “Semester and Year of Validation” from the Registrar’s Office. 5. The Nursing Student Handbook contains additional information, requirements and specific program policies that you are required to comply with while enrolled in the nursing program. See www.delta.edu/nursing Nursing Student Handbook. You must comply with all Nursing Program Policies. 6. In addition to tuition and textbook costs, you must provide your own uniforms, clinic shoes, name tags and transportation to clinical agency settings, including possible parking charges. See www.delta.edu/nursing for program costs. 7. Full-time ADN track courses start each Fall and each Winter Semester with NUR 101AW. Part-time ADN Track courses starts Fall semester only (NPT 101AW) with the program running year round. See web site: www.delta.edu/nursing for more information. A student who designates their ADN track of choice will remain in that track for validation. There will be some flexibility between tracks (Full-time or Part-time) once the student is in the clinical sequence, but the student will need to go through the Nursing ReEntry Review Board for approval based on the seating availability (see Nursing Student Handbook: www.delta.edu/nursing ). 8. Program-Entry Health Requirements: You must submit an up-to-date complete physical examination report to the Nursing Office prior to entrance into the first clinical course. As a clinical student, you are required to have a TB skin test completed annually. The physical examination must confirm that you are free from communicable disease and capable of performing all the duties necessary for the safe care of patients. A positive TB test will require a recent chest x-ray. Proof of Hepatitis B vaccine immunization must be submitted with the physical exam form or you must submit a signed waiver form. For persons born after 1957, documentation of immunization for MMR must be provided. Evidence of current (within ten years) Tetanus immunization status is required. You must submit all up-to-date health requirements to the Nursing Discipline Office prior to entrance into the first clinical course. C.P.R. Training: You must have a CPR card, which must remain current throughout the clinical program. A photocopy of your certificate must be turned in to the Nursing Discipline Office prior to the start of classes. The CPR certification must include one and two person rescuer, child and infant rescuer and airway obstruction relief, and use of AED. Students with expired CPR certification, TB test, and/or physical exam will not be allowed to attend clinical. 9. Any student with a previous or current felony/misdemeanor conviction must inform the Nursing Program Coordinator of said conviction. Students should be aware that a felony/misdemeanor conviction may constitute grounds for ineligibility to sit for the Nursing Licensure examination. Students should be aware that the current licensure application form now requires that a criminal background check requiring fingerprinting be completed. Questions regarding licensure can be found at http://www.michigan.gov/healthlicense or be directed to the Michigan Board of Nursing (517-335-0918). 10. A Criminal Background Check (CBC) will be completed on all entering nursing students as part of health care agency requirements and for the Michigan Nursing Scholarship. A release form for the Delta College Public Safety unit to complete a CBC will need to be signed by the nursing student at orientation or on the first day of class. Information about this process will be provided to the student. Results of the Criminal Background Check will be kept confidential. If results indicate a felony/misdemeanor conviction, the Nursing Program Coordinator will discuss the findings and the process with the student. A felony/misdemeanor conviction may delay or end the student’s nursing education, delay graduation, or change the curriculum from which the student may graduate. 11. If a student in good standing (2.0 or better) or granted reentry into the program has a period of inactivity within a program track that exceeds three years, the student will need to revalidate for a program track and complete the entire clinical program. 12. A person can achieve PNE program completion if NUR/NPT 101A, NUR/NPT 101AL, NUR/NPT 101B, NUR/NPT 101BL, NUR/NPT 115, NUR/NPT 115L, NUR/NPT 116, NUR/NPT 116L, NUR/NPT 240, and NUR/NPT 240L are successfully completed. 13.
