EVALUATION AND GRADING: A point system is used to determine the grade in
Leadership and Management in Nursing.
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 75-79
An average of 75 or better is required to pass Nursing courses.
D = 70-74
F = 69 and below
* Final grade will be rounded to the nearest .10 decimal place. 0.5 and above rounds to the
NEXT whole number. For example: If your grade is 89.49 the grade will be rounded to 89.4
which equals a ‘B’. 89.50 will be rounded to 89.5 which rounds to 90 which equals an “A”.

Failure to follow and complete minimum time constraints as outlined above, will result in the
Student receiving a NO-PASS in clinical which would mean the Student would have to
repeat the Course
At the First Clinical Weekend, Students will take an ATI Predictor Exam. This ATI
Predictor Exam will not be the one that Counts as Score (25%) but will be used as the
foundation to create the Live ATI NCLEX Review
At the Final Clinical Weekend, Students will take the second ATI Predictor Exam. This ATI
Predictor Exam (and only this one) WILL COUNT AS SCORE (worth 25% of the
Leadership Course Grade).
All Students are required to Attend the LIVE ATI NCLEX Review. Failure to Attend the
entire session will result in a NO-PASS in Clinical which would mean the Student would
have to repeat the Course. The LIVE ATI NCLEX Review will be conducted post the last
Clinical Weekend (during the Finals Week time-frame for Face-to-Face Students). As
always Dates of Clinicals to include the Mandatory LIVE ATI NCLEX Review may be
changed at the Discretion of the Dean of Nursing.
***ATI Proctored Exams & ATI Predictor Exam are subject to DATE/TIME CHANGE**
* All contents and schedules for this course are subject to change during the term. The Instructor will
inform students of changes as soon as possible. Worksheets, quizzes, or other learning tools may
be used @ instructor’s discretion.
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. 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 dates and content 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 for Unit Exams. Students are required to follow the
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.
Those who use a Live Proctor are required each quarter to have pre-approval of the Proctor
Person with Wayland Virtual Campus. Refer to the Student Calendar for testing dates.
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
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.
Clinical Attendance & Attire
Attendance to clinical is mandatory. This is the opportunity for the student to learn and practice skills in
the Skills Lab and discussed in didactic then apply them in a leadership role or in patient care. Any
student missing a clinical must call in to the instructor prior to the scheduled clinical. Clinical cannot be
made up; therefore attendance is critical to successfully complete required clinical objectives.
There is no acceptable reason for missing clinical. Solid white professional uniforms and shoes are
required. No Scrubs. School patches must be attached to uniform tops and lab coats. Patch must
be purchased at WBU bookstore.
Students are required to take a Dosage Calculation Exam on the first day of the First
Clinical. The test consists of 10 dosage calculations. The Student is required to make a score
of 100. The Student has 3 opportunities to achieve the Score of 100. The Online Students will
have all 3 attempts administered the first Clinical Weekend, with the first one on the Friday that
the Students come to the Campus and subsequently the second attempt on Saturday and the final
attempt on Sunday of the First Clinical Weekend. If the Student does not achieve a score of 100
after the 3rd attempt, the Student will receive a Failure in the Clinical portion of the Course and
therefore fail the Theory Component as well and will be referred to the Dean of the Nursing
Program for follow-up.
Clinical Behaviors Resulting in Failing
Clinical failing behaviors are linked to the Texas Board of Nursing Standards of Professional
Practice. Issues related to professional conduct, management of stress, clarification of course,
clinical assignment, and/or professional role expectations, may warrant clinical warnings, contracts
for remediation, or course failure.
Clinical Failing Behaviors
1. Performance is unsafe.
2. Questionable decisions are often made.
3. Lacks insight into own behaviors and that of
others.
4. Difficulty in adapting to new
ideas/functions.
5. Continues to need additional guidance and
direction.

Disability Statement
Wayland Baptist University adheres to a policy of providing equal opportunity to students with
disabilities. Disability is defined by the University as any condition that falls under the purview
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Wayland will strive to achieve optimum opportunity for
participation in the University experience for all students, regardless of their circumstance. The
University encourages any student who has a disability, as defined by the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, to inform the University of any Special Requirements or needs by reporting these to the
Dean of Students or the Vice President of Academic and Student Services. The University will
strive to meet these needs in accordance with applicable federal guidelines and Christian ethical
considerations.
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 discouraged, though permitted in certain designated areas of
the campus (at least 50 feet from the Alamo University Center Building). In consideration of the
rights of others and the requirements of safety, such areas are designated.
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
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
week during a thirteen week quarter 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 24-48 hours at the beginning of the business week (Monday).
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.

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
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 through 12:00 pm Medication timeframe if Dayshift (unless otherwise
specified by the Clinical Instructor). If on 3-11 shift, the 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.
Wound Care Nurse
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
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. Most important the CNA updates the
Team Leader of Changes, providing both the Team Leader and the 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 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 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 ATI and access and successfully complete
the ATI Real Live Clinical Scenarios. Any additional time left, will be geared toward ATI
Targeted Practice Tests (with Focused Review) or the ATI Tutorial Practice and Final Tests. 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
Part of the Clinical Homework, will be the requirement of the Student to complete all of the
ATI Real Live Clinical Scenarios. Students will be required to repeat testing on each
Scenario until he/she has achieved a 100% as this speaks to the student’s ability of
competent critical thinking within a virtual clinical situation. This part of the Clinical is a
PASS/FAIL. Failure to complete all of the ATI Real Live Clinical Scenarios with a 100%
will mean the Student is assigned a NO PASS for Clinical and subsequently will mean that the
Student will not pass the Leadership Course. Students are to refer to the Student Calendar for
Dates of when various ATI Real Live Clinical Scenarios are due.
In addition, each Student will select one resident by which to develop the required Nursing Care
Plan / 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 Nursing Care Plans / Concept Maps will be required. The Nursing
Care Plan and Concept Map Template Forms will be posted on Black Board Course site for you
to access. To ensure that you have a thoroughly completed Clinical Assignment, follow the
