COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
Before a student can utilize critical thinking skills, the student must possess foundational
nursing knowledge. This class will help the student to identify areas of weakness so
that the student can remediate those areas. This class is a resource to assist the
student to be more successful for the NCLEX-RN® Exam and to enhance the student’s
entry into nursing practice.
Students are required to complete one (1) hour (equivalent to 60 questions) on NCLEXRN® type questions from a RN review book or ATI each week.
Students are required to attend all Sim Man presentations.
Students are required to actively participate each week in supplemental learning
activities through Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI).
5
Verification of participation in the above activities is required.
The student is to be engaged in the Online Practice Assessments through ATI. The ATI
Online Practice Assessments have been developed based upon the NCLEX-RN®
blueprint. Thus, active participation in the ATI assessments should enhance the
student’s success on the NCLEX-RN® and prepare the graduate for entry into nursing
practice. ATI recommends that the student continue taking the online practice
assessment exams until the student makes a score of 90%. The student should allow a
48 hour period between taking assessments. Each Monday/Wednesday, the student is
expected to turn in a copy of their ATI transcript which demonstrates active participation
in the online practice assessment exams. In addition, the student needs to turn in their
ATI “Topics to Review” or “Focused Remediation” plan along with corresponding note
cards.
The student is required to identify from ATI their areas of deficiencies either through
“Topics to Review” or “Focused Remediation”. “Focused Remediation” provides the
student with actual page numbers in the ATI resource books to obtain core foundational
nursing knowledge. The student needs to fill out a note card on at least three (3)
identified areas of concern / review.
Below is an example of three note cards.
Note Card Example #1: Restraints
Restraints - ATI Fundamentals Resource Book
Use as a last resort
Emergent situation
Danger to self or others
Must have order
Primary health care provider must see within an hour.
2 finger space
Neurosensory checks
Check frequently
Remove restraints frequently (ROM)
Document frequently
Note Card Example #2: Hydrocolloid Dressings
Hydrocolloid Dressings - ATI Fundamentals Resource Book
Occlusive
Swells in presence of exudate
Can leave on 5 days
Maintains a granulating bed
Note Card Example #3: Wound Healing Stage II
6
Wound Healing Stage II - ATI Fundamentals Resource Book
Superficial
Partial thickness
Abrasion, shallow crater
May be painful
Takes several weeks to heal
Moist healing environment (saline, occlusive)
Nutritional supplements
Analgesics
Each Monday/Wednesday, the student will be required to turn in a copy of their ATI
transcript, NCLEX-RN scores and three note cards. The student will be allowed 2 late
opportunities to turn in their assignments. If the student has a third late situation, then
the student may be required to meet with the DON and ADN faculty and the student
may receive a failing (E) grade for the course. A failing grade in ADN 220S
Supplemental II does not allow the student to pass ADN 220 Nursing Care of the Adult
II as the syllabus in that class requires that the student follows an educational
remediation plan. Please remember that a nurse is unable to do critical thinking if the
foundational nursing knowledge is weak. This course provides an opportunity for the
student to identify areas of concern in nursing knowledge and to remediate those areas
of concern. The student’s progress in ADN 220S Supplemental II will be shared with
the nursing instructors in ADN 220 Nursing Care of the Adult II and ADN 221 Family
Nursing.
Student Success Center (Room C219). Services available for students include tutoring
(both scheduled one-on-one tutoring and walk-in tutoring) and Disability Support
Services. Students can drop in during the hours of operation for tutoring in the Math
Help Room (C219 and C223) or the Biology Help Room (C243A). To receive one-onone tutoring, students should make a request early in the semester in the Student
Success Center. The Student Success Center is also the place to arrange
accommodations. John A. Logan College will make reasonable accommodations for
students with documented disabilities. Contact the coordinator of Disability Support
Services, Room C219B, ext. 8516, for more information. The coordinator must
determine eligibility and arrange appropriate academic accommodations. However, it is
the student’s responsibility to register in advance of a school term with Disability
Support Services and to turn in a class schedule each term to ensure accommodations
are arranged. Free educational workshops are also provided by the Student Success
Center throughout the semester. For more information, visit the Student Success
Center website at www.jalc.edu/student-success-center.
7
English Writing Center/Tutoring. For assistance with writing assignments in any college
courses, students are encouraged to visit the Writing Center in C214. English
instructors are available for one-on-one tutoring each semester during hours posted at
the center.
Financial Aid. Students who receive financial assistance and completely withdraw from
classes prior to 60% of the semester being completed (approximately 2-3 weeks after
midterm) could be responsible to return a portion of their Federal Pell Grant award.
Prior to withdrawing from courses, students should contact the Financial Aid Office.
Course Withdrawal Information. It is expected that you will attend this class regularly.
If you stop attending for any reason, you should contact your advisor and withdraw
officially to avoid the posting of a failing grade (an E) to your transcript. It is also
advisable to discuss the situation with your instructor before dropping.
Administrative Withdrawal. A student may be withdrawn from a class for lack of
attendance/participation as defined below. Logging into an online course is not
sufficient to be considered participation. Participation for online courses is defined as
an active process and may include posting/sending assignments to the drop box or
instructor’s email, participating in online discussion boards, taking quizzes or exams, or
otherwise communicating and/or participating in some manner that is approved by the
instructor. A student who has been administratively withdrawn from class will receive
an email notification from the Admissions Office. This notification will outline the
student’s appeal options if the student wishes to re-enroll in the course.

Safety Review Request. Our safety at JALC is everyone’s responsibility!
Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to use the Safety Review Request,
https://www.jalc.edu/safety-review-request-form link on the JALC home page or contact
Campus Safety directly (Ext. 8218 or Room E105) to report safety concerns or
questions. This statement comes from the John A. Logan College Campus Violence
Prevention Committee.
Academic Dishonesty
Individuals are expected to demonstrate integrity in their academic endeavors
throughout their college careers. Practices such as cheating on examinations,
plagiarism, fraud, misrepresentation or falsification of data, theft, destruction of
8
examinations or papers, alteration of records and/or communication of examination
questions and other acts of academic dishonesty are not acceptable behavior. Any of
these practices will result in failure of the course and will result in dismissal from the
nursing program for one year. At the end of one year, the Re-entry policy will be
followed in the Nursing Handbook.
