The clinical portion of the course is on a pass/fail basis and must be passed to pass the course.
The level three clinical evaluation forms will be used to determine the students pass or fail
performance for this course. Failure to complete Clinical Homework Assignments will result in
Failure of the Clinical. The Student Calendar will list when all Theory and Clinical Assignments
will be due. The evaluation form will be posted on Blackboard.
If you are enrolled in the Face-to-Face Course, your Assigned Clinical Instructor will be the
individual who you will submit the Leadership/Management Interview Paper and your
Assigned Clinical Instructor will also be the individual who will review and grade your
Leadership/Management Interview Paper. The Clinical Instructor will communicate to the
Theory Instructor the Grade that he/she has assigned and that will be what is posted.
Testing
Test Chapters will be published in the course syllabi for the students at the beginning of each
term. Test dates are found within the Student Calendar. Exam blueprints may be provided by the
instructor prior to each exam. The Online Students will continue to use Proctor Secure as the
secure mode for testing or Live Proctor (Dr. Moore) for make-up Exams. Students are required
to follow the mandates as identified by Proctor Secure as this is a security camera that videos the
student during testing which is then sent to the Dean of Nursing if questionable behaviors are
videoed. Refer to the Student Calendar for testing dates. The Exams will only be offered one
time (will be opened at 8:00 pm CST and will close at 9:30 pm CST). Student is to follow the
Student Calendar for the dates when the various Unit Exams and Final Exam will be
administered. If the Student fails to take the Online Exam at the time it is offered, the Student
will take an alternate paper test at the next Clinical Weekend on the Sunday after all students
have been dismissed. The Alternate (Make-up) Test will be between 10 to 20 Questions in
length and will be questions that may require answers of: Listing, Short answer, Matching,
Multiple Choice / Multiple Selection. There will be no Blue Print for Alternate (make-up) Tests
but the content will come from the same chapters of the Online Exams (Marquis & Huston
Textbook and LaCharity Delegation Book). If the Student does not log onto the Final Online
Exam at date/time being administered, the Student may place him/herself in a situation whereby
he/she will have to arrange to make an additional trip to San Antonio to take a paper-pencil
make-up Final Exam which will have to be taken prior to the current academic Quarter closing
out. Again the Final Makeup Exam will not be the same Exam as the Online Final and will be
similar question profile as the Unit Makeup Exams (10 to 20 Questions in length and will be
questions that may require answers of: Listing, Short answer, Matching, Multiple Choice /
Multiple Selection. Due to multiple occurrences whereby Students in the past have not been
taking exam(s) when the exam(s) have been assigned, it was decided that the above was the best
option to deter students from negating academic responsibilities. Online Students are permitted
to have only 1 make-up exam occurrence; thereafter, the Exam Grade assigned will be 0
(ZERO) for missed online Exams (this also includes the Final Exam). It is your responsibility
to ensure your Remote Secure Proctor Device is functioning appropriately. It is also your
responsibility as an Adult Learner to view your Student Calendar as well as check your
Blackboard Course Announcements at least twice a day, once in the early morning and
then prior to you going to bed at night in case there have been changes. Online Students
will receive the Exam Grade once the Student submits the Exam. No reviews of Exams are
permitted by students due to having to maintain Test Security.
The Face-to-Face Students may have either a computer-generated or a paper-version of the Unit
Exam and will utilize the appropriate Scantron Sheet to complete the Unit Exam if the Exam is
the paper-version. Refer to the Student Calendar for specific times which the Exams will be
open if the Exam is administered as a computer-generated Exam (online students).
The Face-to-Face Student Calendar will be provided to the Students in class on the first day. The
on-line Student Calendar will be posted on the Blackboard Course Site. In the event a faculty
must change a test date, they will notify the students as soon as possible. If the student must
miss an exam, they must notify the faculty that they will not be present for the exam and
schedule a date for the make-up exam within one week of the date of the exam.
Make-up Tests (Face-to-Face Students)
For Face to Face Students, occasionally a student will miss a test that is scheduled for a class. A
student should contact his/her instructor to arrange for the Make-up Exam. Test must be
completed within one week from date of missed exam. The Make-up Test may not follow the
Test Blue-Print, but will be over content covered for the specific chapters covered for the Unit of
Content.
Class Attendance
1. The student must attend the class (es) for which he/she is enrolled.
2. A student enrolled at Wayland Baptist University should make every effort to attend all
class meetings. All absences must be explained to the satisfaction of the instructor, who
will decide whether the omitted work can be made up. If enrolled in the online course
weekly online participation to include appropriate academic construction of
Discussion Postings is required. Refer to the Discussion Posting Rubric that is
contained within this Syllabus.
3. A face-to-face student who misses twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the regularly
scheduled class meetings will receive a grade of “F” for that class. An online Student not
engaging in the weekly discussions will be considered Absent and thus more than 2
weeks absent of online engagement would be considered a failure for the online
course
4. When a student reaches a number of absences considered by the instructor to be
excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file an Unsatisfactory Progress
Report at the San Antonio Campus.
DISABLITY STATEMENT: In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
(ADA), it is the policy of Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a
disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to
discrimination under any educational program or activity in the university. The Coordinator of
Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students with a disability and should be
contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291-3765. Documentation of a disability
must accompany any request for accommodations.
Student Conduct
(This is a statement of conduct standards. It is enforced in conjunction with the Discipline
Policy and Substance Abuse Policy found elsewhere in this handbook.) Wayland proudly adheres
to high standards of intellectual, moral, ethical, and spiritual values. Convinced that selfdiscipline is more desirable than outside force and that the truly educated person must pursue
what is right under all circumstances, Wayland entrusts each student with the solemn obligation
of preserving these standards. However, in the light of revelation, reason, and the custom of the
Christian community from which Wayland has sprung, certain practices are evaluated:
1. Personal integrity in keeping with New Testament standards is expected of all students.
2. Respect for the property, knowledge, and rights of other people must prevail.
3. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages and/or illegal drugs is forbidden.
4. Gambling, hazing, and the on-campus possession of firearms or deadly weapons are
prohibited. BB Guns and Paint Ball Guns are also prohibited.
5. The use of tobacco by students is prohibited on the grounds of the Alamo University Center.
6. Follow online etiquette rules whether you are an online student or a face-to-face student.
Refer to this website: http://online.uwc.edu/technology/onletiquette.asp
7. Unprofessional behavior as outlined in the Wayland Baptist Nursing Handbook to include
disrespectful verbal or written comments either direct or indirect toward Nursing Faculty or
fellow Nursing Students.
The authority of the University is exercised over all student groups or organizations bearing the
name of the university, or any student enterprises to the extent necessary to safeguard the good
name and well-being of Wayland. Specifically, each student is expected to conduct himself in
such a manner as to uphold, not detract from, the good name of Wayland Baptist University. If
one feels that he/she cannot subscribe to the moral and social practices of the University, he/she
will find greater acceptance elsewhere.

8 CHARACTERISTICS OF A QUALITY ONLINE DISCUSSION POSTING
1. SUBSTANTIAL: Messages should relate to the subject matter and provide information,
opinions or questions about that subject matter. They may relate the subject matter to something
personal, but they should remain academic in their focus.
2. CONCISE: Studies have shown that messages that are several screens long do not get many
replies. To write an effective message, attempt to use a single screen if possible. Try to get the
point and focus of your message across so that it is clear what you are saying.
3. PROVOCATIVE: The discussion board is an interactive medium. The more interaction there
is between students the better. A good message is one that prompts others to reply or object. A
focused and pointed message that produces replies from other learners in that class in moving the
discussion forward is having an impact on the learning environment.
4. HERMENEUTICAL: The discussion board is a place where ideas are interpreted and
language is explored. To be hermeneutical is to interpret. A good message should explore,
explain, or expand on a concept or connection. The message should not simply state something,
but rather expand upon an idea.
5. TIMELY: A good message appears in the context of similar messages in the message log. If
you get on irregularly, your message will appeal late and out of context with what is currently
happening on the board. Log on regularly and reply to messages in a timely fashion.
6. LOGICAL: A good message that is not a question should contain a logical argument. This
means is should contain a clearly stated conclusion of thesis supported by premises, reason,
evidence or grounds of belief.
7. GRAMMATICAL: A good, clear, concise message should be well-written and free of typos
and sentence fragments and referenced appropriately using APA format.
8. Be Polite to others online. Again, please refer to the website:
http://online.uwc.edu/technology/onletiquette.asp
BENCHMARKS OF A SUCCESSFUL ONLINE COURSE
1. An online semester BEGINS the same week that an onsite semester begins. Student needs to
access and post on the first day of classes in session.
2. To obtain the maximum grade (100) - Every online student should log into the online course
no less than three times per week to read instructor and/or student postings and produce no less
than four responses to Discussion Questions and four responses to other student postings per unit
of content (total of 8 Postings) unless otherwise directed by the Online Instructor (refer to
Student Calendar for weeks where student is not required to post). Initial Postings must be
posted within 24-72 hours at the beginning of the business week (Monday). Refer to
Student Calendar as a Guide.
3. At least 90% of the messages in a discussion board should be from learner to learner. It is
required that students comment and expand upon the ideas of their virtual classroom peers. This
interaction and participation is a huge part of what transpires in the virtual learning environment.
Instructors are encouraged to engage themselves more as discussion guides and monitors of
discussions and less as lecturers in online classes.

Leadership / Management Clinical Roles
Dr. Moore’s Clinical Site: Buena Vida Nursing and Rehab
Clinical Location: 5027 Pecan Grove San Antonio, Texas 78222
Or
Ms. Wendy Wright Clinical Site: Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital-Medical Center
5101 Medical Drive
San Antonio, Texas 78229
This Clinical differs in many respects than the other Clinicals that you have been engaged. With
this particular Clinical Rotation, the Student actively rotates through the various nursing-type of
responsibilities that exist within the realm of Nursing. Thus, all Students will rotate and function
within the various assigned roles as the time allows. All Registered Nurses, no matter what level
of education, will at some time have to function in all levels of patient care delivery. The
following provides the Wayland Baptist Student with specific descriptions of the
Leadership/Management Clinical Roles that will be assumed.
Team Leader
The Leadership/Management Clinical fosters the opportunity for the RN Student to experience
various roles/responsibilities to include that of Team Leader. The Team Leader is responsible
for ensuring that patient care has been render to all patients on the unit in a professional, safe and
holistic fashion. It is the responsibility of the Team Leader to ensure that others under his/her
direction complete assignments of care to the patients on the unit. The Team Leader will obtain
the Report for the Residents from the Charge Nurse for the Unit and then provides a report to
his/her individuals. The Team Leader ensures that the Vital Signs for all residents on the Unit
are taken by 0800 am and that a copy of the Vital Signs are provided the Medication Nurses by
0800 am or if on a 3-11 shift, by 4:00 pm. The Team Leader ensures that the CNAs are getting
the residents up for am hygiene to include baths, oral care and breakfast and that the beds have
been made and that fresh Ice Water is supplied to all Residents or if you are on a 3-11 shift,
ensure that evening hygiene and meals are attended to. It is key that the Team that you are
managing functions like a fine tuned machine. Organization is key for all Team Members. It
is the ultimate responsibility of the Team Leader to ensure all care has been rendered, but
everyone has to work together for the completion of the care of all residents. The Team
Leader will need to find out which residents receive their Bath as Resident Baths are on alternate
days if working the day shift or if in the evening, what evening cares need to be accomplished
for the residents. Residents may request an evening bath (PRN Bath) of which your CNAs will
accommodate. During the shift, The Team Leader performs a 5 minute focused Assessment of
each of the Residents on the Unit, greeting each resident. At the end of the Shift, the Team
Leader will report off to the Charge Nurse.
Medication Nurse(s)
Depending on the size of the Clinical Group, there will be 2 Medication Nurses who will work
directly with the Instructor and will be responsible for medication administration to all residents
on the Unit from 0700 am up to 12:00 noon Medication timeframe if Dayshift (unless otherwise
specified by the Clinical Instructor). If on 3-11 shift, the Student Medication Nurses will
administer medication to all residents on the Unit that are scheduled 3:00 pm up thru the 9:00 pm
Meds. These will include PO, Injections, peg tube, topical, optic, etc. The Medication Nurse
should have with them at the Medication Cart, a current Drug Book. It is the responsibility of
the Medication Nurse to know which resident has to take medications crushed or with thicken
fluids. The Medication Nurse must have the morning/evening Vital Signs as he/she will need to
record BP/HR depending on the medications. The afternoon medications may also require a set
of vital signs – so even if we work a 3-11 shift, evening Vital Signs need to be obtained. As part
of your Medication Administration, you must ensure that you perform the 3 Checks of the
Medications and too, must remember the 7 Rights of Medication Administration. Also, you
must ensure you identify your residents not only with his/her picture, but as well verbally and as
an additional safe guard ensure with the Buena Vida Staff that this is the resident that you are
preparing medications for. The Clinical Instructor will remain with the Medication Nurses at all
times. No Medications will be set up or administered without the presence of the Nursing
Instructor. Key to Medication administration is simply getting started with the
administration as soon as possible. You are not permitted to interrupt a resident while
they are eating a meal to administer medications. You are not allowed to administer
medication in the common dining area as this violates the resident’s right to privacy. I will
be with the Medication Nurses at the Medication Cart the entire time. If permitted by the
Nursing Facility, the Medication Nurse (WBU Student) will be responsible for the Narcotic
Count in the morning and then prior to signing off, will have to perform another Narcotic
Count with the Unit/Hall Charge Nurse. This is the normal routine when the Students
come in on the Day shift, the evening shift may be slightly different. The Medication
Nurses will report off to the Unit/Hall Charge Nurse once the morning scheduled
medications have been administered.
Wound Care Nurse / CNA
As the Wound Care Nurse, you are responsible for performing dressing changes to residents who
require wound care. The Wound Care is typically found with the MARs, but in some facilities
there is a separate Book that contains the residents on the Unit who require wound care. When
the Wound Care Nurse is not performing Wound Care, this individual will be a third individual
performing the CNA responsibilities. With Wound Care, it would be expected that the Team
Leader would assist the Wound Care Nurse that way the Team Leader is able to describe the
wound at the time that the T.L. reports off to the Charge Nurse prior to leaving the Nursing
Home and as well when the Team Leader hands off the report to the New Student Team Leader.
The Wound Care Nurse will sign off on the appropriate sections of the MARS which show
where the wound care was performed as ordered.
CNA(s)
The Rest of the Students will be assigned as CNAs. They deliver direct patient care to include
obtaining the Vital Signs (BP, HR, Resp. Rate, and Temp); Accu-Checks prior to the Lunch-time
meals (the Accu-checks need to be completed prior to 11:30 am and immediately reported to the
Team Leader and as well to the Medication Nurses as they will be responsible for insulin
administration depending on the result of the accu-checks); the bed baths, the shower baths,
the dressing of the residents, the changing of the linens, the assisting of the resident to the
restrooms as well as ambulation in general, the oral care, the peri-hygiene care with incontinence
to include changing the adult briefs and the feeding of those residents who need help and
assisting with meal tray delivery as well as restocking the linen cart, filling the ice chest and
ensuring all residents have fresh ice water at their bedside and of course answering call lights as
well as providing assistance to Staff as needed. Most important the CNA updates the Student
Nurse Team Leader of Changes, providing both the Student Team Leader and the Student
Medication Nurses with vital signs and reporting changes and as well reporting completion of
assigned tasks. One of the most important aspects that the CNA performs is the psycho-social
engagement of the Residents. The Student CNAs need to follow up with the Buena Vida CNAs
to determine specifics as it relates to the delivery of care to the residents and to find out which
residents will be receiving shower baths for the particular day. The Wound Care Student Nurse
assists the Students Assigned as CNAs when not performing wound care and too, the CNA
Student(s) may need to assist the Wound Care Nurse in positioning the Resident in order to
perform the wound care. Thus, in the morning upon arrival, The Student CNAs and the Student
Wound Care Nurse should all be obtaining Vital Signs and assisting residents to the restroom
and am care as needed prior to breakfast. The Student Medication Nurses as well upon arrival
should be obtaining Vital Signs and assisting Residents to the restroom and am care as needed
prior to breakfast until time to begin the Medication Pass.
The Plan will be to assign the following Roles; however, please note that adjustments to how
Roles are assigned may occur due to the feasibility of current events taking place within the
Clinical Setting. The Following are the Roles that may be assigned:
Team Leader
Medication Nurse
Wound Care Nurse (when not doing Wound Care, you will be assisting the CNAs)
CNA
Post-Conference
At the beginning of Post-Conference, The Student Team will discuss what went well and what
could be improved. The goal in this Clinical Rotation is to improve the outcomes with each
subsequent day at the Clinical site. After the Discussion, The Team Leader will then report to
the New Team Leader, the Medication Nurses will report to the New Medication Nurses and the
CNAs / Wound Care Nurse will report to the new counterparts. The Student Team Leader will
assign the new roles. The Students will rotate into new Roles each clinical day. Make sure that
you bring your Lap-top Computer with ear phones/ear buds, Care Planning Book, Lab
Diagnostic Manual and any other Textbook that may be helpful in completion of the Clinical
Homework Assignments as the Student will want to work on his/her Clinical Assignments in the
evening hours at the place where they will be staying during the Clinical Weekend.
Additionally, Simulation Lab Activities and/or Skills may be conducted in the Nursing Skills /
Simulation Labs with the remainder of the Post-Conference Time allowing opportunity for the
Student to log onto and complete DocuCare Assignments and Concept Maps as well as ATI
Assignments with Focused Reviews. All students need to bring ear phones / earbuds to be
able to review ATI Remediation Content during all Post-Conference. Additionally, Group
NCLEX Preparation Activities may be incorporated into Clinical/Post-Conference, if time
permits.
REQUIRED CLINICAL HOMEWORK
DocuCare: Electronic Charting Activities based on a select Client where you are assigned
within your Clinical Site will be required. (Specifics of the Charting will be discussed on the
first Clinical Day). The Assigned Clinical Instructor will be responsible for reviewing the
student’s DocuCare Charting. All Students will chart within DocuCare each Clinical Weekend.
Simulation Activities: Each Clinical Weekend, All Students will participate in Simulation.
Students will be video-recorded and Debriefings will occur during each weekend prior to
dismissal (time permitting).

the first clinical weekend as well; with the third clinical weekend, Students will complete an
additional 10 Medication Card (but will bring the 25 med cards from the previous clinical
weekends). The template for the Medication Card will be available on the Blackboard Course
Site. Consider creating the Medication Cards based on Classifications as this is an excellent
method to organize your thoughts to assist you in preparing for the NCLEX Board Exam.
Concept Maps: Each Student will select one resident / patient by which to develop the required
Concept Map that is due on designated dates as per Student Calendar and will be submitted to
your Assigned Clinical Instructor as per his/her instructions. For the Leadership Course, a
minimum of 2 Concept Maps will be required. The Concept Map Template Form will be
posted on Black Board Course site for you to access. To ensure that you have a thoroughly
completed Clinical Assignment, an explanation of a Concept Map will be provided on the
Blackboard Course Site under Clinical Assignments and Forms.
ATI Virtual CAPSTONE
Students are required to complete the 8 week ATI Virtual Capstone. This component is part of
Clinical. It is a PASS / FAIL component of Clinical. Failure to Fully Participate EACH
WEEK in the ATI Virtual Capstone will result in FAILURE OF THE LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT CLINICAL and thus FAILURE IN THE LEADERSHIP COURSE. The
ATI Virtual Capstone Coach will be providing both the Dean of Nursing and the
Leadership Course Instructor with a weekly follow up of students fully engaged in the ATI
Capstone.
TEXAS BOARD OF NURSING JURISPRUDENCE EXAM / JURISPRUDENCE

Securexam Remote Proctor System Guidelines for Online Exams
As recommended by Softwaresecure
Objective: This policy outlines proctoring and examination security expectations for students
when online examinations are given in a course.
Standards: Examinations are important mechanisms for evaluation of student learning. The
College of Nursing programs adhere to standards of academic integrity as articulated by the
College of Nursing Honor Code and Wayland Baptist University Student Conduct Code.
Cheating on examinations is contrary to both academic integrity standards and to ethical
standards and constitutes reason for academic withdrawal and/or expulsion from the
College or University. Review the Student Conduct Policy in the student handbook, available
online at http://www.sa.wbu.edu/
Some courses in the College of Nursing use the Securexam Remote Proctor System. Securexam
Remote Proctor contains a web‐camera, microphone and fingerprint reader. These devices
identify the student and capture video and audio throughout the exam and upload it to SSI’s
secure servers. This video will be used for the purpose of establishing if any suspicious activity
occurred during the test. The video feed provides a 360 degree view of the exam environment
and all video records are subject to review by faculty.
The Remote Proctor system must be purchased through the WBU bookstore. The fee includes
all charges for use of the Remote Proctor system for (1) year from date of purchase. Renewal
service fees are charged every year after initial purchase.
Process: The Remote Proctor system will be used with online examinations as instructed by
course faculty members. Students are required to take online examinations using a Windows
or Mac based computer that meets the minimum requirements as outlined in the instructions
on the Software Secure installation page (http://www.remoteproctor.com/install).
o Students are required to register their devices and establish identity following
the procedures outlined in the Remote Proctor instructions.
o Students are responsible for self‐testing the functionality of their units well in
advance of all Remote Proctored exams in their courses, so that any troubleshooting
that is required can be accomplished. A practice quiz for this purpose can be found in
the course.
Test Environment Requirements:
The online testing environment should mimic the ‘in class’ testing environment, and must
conform to the following:
 A quiet, secure, fully lighted room for the examination
o No other people in the room
o No pets in the room
o No communicating with others by any means (with the exception of contact
with the faculty member in an emergency)
o No leaving the room
o Clean desk or table with nothing except computer and remote proctor
system on the desktop or tabletop including removal of all books, papers,
notebooks or other materials, unless specifically permitted in written
guidelines for a particular examination
o No writing visible on desk or on walls
o No music, videos, or TV playing
o No use of headphones
o No use of cell phone for any reason other than to contact support or your
instructor
o All other computer monitors must be powered off

 Have the Remote Proctor device correctly situated:
o Within an arm’s reach at all times during an exam
o
o
o
o
On the opposite side of the keyboard as the computer mouse (if using one)
Parallel to the keyboard (not behind the screen, etc.)
Nothing covering the base or prism
Lighting must be “daylight” quality and overhead is preferred if at all
possible. If overhead is not possible, the source should not be behind the
student.
All exam videos can/will be reviewed by the course faculty and the Program director. If a red
or yellow violation is detected, you will receive a zero on your exam or assignment.
Contact information for Product Technical Support: Technical support is available by phone
24/7 for students from Software Secure at 1‐866‐811‐0719 or by clicking the following link for
the online: http://clientportal.softwaresecure.com/support/ where students will be able to
