OVERVIEW OF COURSE:  This course is designed to give the student a more in-depth exposure to the needs and care of acutely and critically ill patient.  Students are expected to incorporate all previously learned skills and knowledge.  Knowledge from all previous nursing courses will be required. The clinical is designed to prepare the student to care for multiple patients with a focus on prioritization and organization. 

Theory Objectives

1. Identify physiological changes experienced by individuals with specified acute/chronic and critical conditions.
2. Apply the nursing process in the treatment and nursing care for the individual with acute/chronic and critical conditions.
3. Analyze deviations from the normal functioning of the human body and evidence based nursing care.
4. Integrate evidenced-based nursing into planning and provision of nursing care for individuals with complex disease processes.
5. Identify and prioritize interventions for the acutely/chronically ill and critically ill patient.
6. Advocate for patients and families with minor and major changes in health status.
7. Demonstrate professional nursing behaviors at all times.

 

 

 

Important: to succeed in this course you will be building on the knowledge you obtained in the 1^st level of the program.  Previous diseases, conditions, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and microbiology knowledge is used within this course.  However, it is not re-lectured.  Retention of concepts previously learned will be expected and possibly quizzed and tested over. If you are weak in any area previously taught, it is essential to review on your own.

* Percentage grades are not rounded

 

Final Course Grade The student must earn a combined 75% or above grade percentage in all Methods of Evaluation in order to pass this course (e.g., a cumulative grade of 74.9% will be a failing grade.)  No grades are rounded in the course.  Additionally, the student must earn an overall “Pass” grade on their final summative clinical evaluation and on the lab packet.  (Attach packet and clinical evaluation tool.)  Failing performance in the lab will result in a grade of 74% no matter what the theory and clinical grade were.  Failing performance in clinical will result in a 74%, no matter what the theory or lab grade were.  The student cannot progress in the nursing program unless all theory, lab, and clinical earn passing grades.  

 

Group Testing

A group test will be given after a regular exam. There will be the opportunity for a student to earn up to 10 extra points on your final test scores if a 75% cumulative is obtained on all exams (excluding the final). This will be awarded after the last exam.

 

NURSING PROGRAM TESTING POLICY:

All testing will take place in the testing center. The Nursing Program Testing policy in the 2015-2017 hand book will be strictly enforced.

 

Kaplan

Kaplan Testing:

• Kaplan Comprehensive Integrated Med Surg Test (75 questions)
• Kaplan Assessment test (180 questions)
• Kaplan Predictor Test (150 questions)
• Kaplan Diagnostic Test (180 questions)

 

Kaplan Course:

• The last week of the semester you will take part in a four day session provided by Kaplan to prepare you for the NCLEX_RN. Attendance is mandatory. The Kaplan preparation course is scheduled for the week of May 1-4, 2017 from 0900 – 1600.

 

Each week starting April 3, 2017 of the course, students will also perform at least 40 - 50 NCLEX questions a day, utilizing the Kaplan website to facilitate passing the NCLEX. It is important to look at the correct as well as the incorrect rationales to promote your critical thinking and increase your understanding.

Integrated Kaplan for Med Surg 3

You will take the proctored Integrated Medical Surgical Comprehensive Kaplan test on (place date/time here) in the testing center. Students are expected to remediate all missed questions by using the forward/backward arrows on the screen. A quiz grade is given for this remediation. The student must remediate at least two minutes per question missed. With proctored exams, the student will not be able to see the actual question, but will be able to see the broad area of the missed question.  If the student does not remediate all missed questions, he/she will receive a zero. Failure by the student to remediate correctly will result in a zero for remediation.  A missed integrated Kaplan exam is not subject to make up and the student will receive a zero.

 

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his/her Kaplan user I.D. and password work prior to taking the first Kaplan test. Because Kaplan is a national timed test taken by thousands of nursing schools at on staggered dates/times, failure to ensure a working user I.D. and password will result in reduced time to test.  The student will be responsible to call Kaplan at the number on the website to reset his/her password. All returning students must notify this instructor by (date here) (tentative) at 2359 of returning status to ensure access to Kaplan testing. Failure to do so will result in reduced time to test.

Below is the adjusted grading scale for the Integrated Kaplan test.

NUR 260 ASSIGNMENTS

In-class assignments

In-class assignments and homework are not assigned prior to the class period in which they occur. In-class assignments consist of individual and small group activities. The usual due date for in-class assignments is the same day at the end of the hour.  The student must be present in class to receive credit.

 

Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing (EAQ)

Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing (EAQ) is a computerized tool that will help the student prepare for unit tests as well as NCLEX. It utilizes NCLEX style testing to quiz students over the material that will be on the test.  It is to your benefit to read the rationale for correct and incorrect answers – this is where learning takes place.   

Each quiz is 12 questions. You may quiz multiple times until you reach Mastery Level 2 for each chapter that we study.  By Sunday night at 2359, prior to each test, each student should have quizzed and reached Mastery Level 2. (See the Course Calendar for assigned dates and times.) This is graded. Each successful Mastery Level 2 quiz will be awarded 10 points.  Failure to reach Mastery Level 2 by the due date will result in a zero (0).  

 

Quizzes

Quizzes may be given at the beginning, middle, or end of class. More than one quiz may be given within one class day.  Quizzes may be computer or paper.  Paper quizzes are not returned to the student, however the student may make an appointment to review his/her quiz.

 

Tests

There are five tests and one Final Exam; all are preplanned. (See the Theory Course Calendar and Readings for all test dates and Final exam date.)  Nursing tests are written at the application, analysis, and synthesis level. Test questions contain current module material and may integrate material covered in previous courses, i.e. pharmacology, A&P, Med Surg I and II, etc.  All testing will take place in the testing center.

 

 

NUR 260 Med Surg 3 APA Paper:

Due: April 4, 2017 by 2359

See the rubric for additional information and grading details.

Remember to use APA format

 

Clinical Paperwork

All Med Surg students are expected to complete the assigned clinical paperwork. Clinical instructors may not excuse you from the paperwork. The paperwork is designed to guide your learning as you care for patients or visit units for observation purposes.  By (place date and time here), each student will submit a bound (folder, stapled, clip, etc) copy of his/her returned graded paperwork to the theory instructor.  This will be placed in the students file for accreditation purposes. 

 

 

Classroom Rules and Policies

 

Classroom: Jeans and other casual attire are permitted in the classroom. It is difficult to predict the temperature of the classrooms. It is suggested to dress in layers to maintain body temperature.

 

Lab/Clinical attire: See the 2015-2017 Nursing Student Handbook.

 

Professional behavior is expected at all times. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.  All students are expected to respect each other, the instructor, and the property of West Shore Community College. Disruptive behavior includes side conversations, texting/use of cell phones during class time, and disrespectful language and/or tone to other students or the instructor.

 

Test Review: Students have two times to review their tests. The first time is immediately following the test while still in the testing center. All rationale is provided and can be seen by the student. The second time is after class on the day of the test. Test reviews are held immediately following class for 30 minutes. Test review is optional for the student, however this is the time for the student to review the test and ask questions if they cannot figure out why his/her answer is incorrect. 

 

Confidentiality/HIPAA: Real patient information may be shared within the classroom, lab, or clinical for the purpose of learning. All shared information must be kept confidential.  Therefore, recording, sharing, printing, or posting of any information is a violation of confidentiality and HIPAA. 

 

Instructor Notes: Instructor notes will not be routinely posted. It is expected that the student will have read the chapters and utilized the disease/condition template for personal readings and group work and come to class prepared. 

 

Electronic Usage:

 

Cell phones will not be allowed in class or clinical. If they are noted you will be instructed to leave class or clinical. This also means no pictures may be taken with your electronic devices during class or clinical.
