Official Communication:
Make-up Policy
Each student should log in daily to the College's learning management system, Canvas, for
class updates and other important and official communication from his/her instructor. It
is the student’s responsibility to be aware of his/her class schedule, attendance, and
grades. Any information pertaining to a student’s class schedule, attendance, and grades,
as well as any and academic disciplinary action will be communicated by the instructor
through Canvas.
Make-up Exams: TUESDAY November 29th 2016 TBA
No more than one make-up examination will be allowed. If more than one exam is
missed, a grade of zero will be given for the second exam. All make-up exams will be
administered within a week prior to the final withdrawal date. Make-up exams are
subject to be different from the original exam. If exams are not made up on assigned
date, the student will receive a 0 for that exam. Early exams are given only by the
discretion of the instructor/director for extenuating circumstances.

given in the gradebook.
College Policy Information
Americans with Disabilities
Reasonable Accommodations:
Any student who has a disability of any kind and needs reasonable accommodations or
assistance in the classroom or with this course should see the instructor.
Americans with Disabilities Act:
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, as amended, state that qualified students with disabilities who meet the technical
and academic standards at Alabama Community College institutions are entitled to
reasonable accommodations. Under these laws a disability is defined as any physical or
mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity, a history of such
impairment, or the perception of such impairment. Alabama Community College
institutions do NOT provide disability documentation for students. It is the student’s
responsibility to provide appropriate documentation to the college office responsible for
handling the request and to request accommodation. Appropriate documentation is
defined as that which meets specific criteria, including recommendations to address each
functional limitation of said students, as noted in the Catalog.
Attendance Policy
Class attendance and participation are regarded as an obligation as well as a privilege.
There is also a high correlation between class attendance and the final grade. Although an
occasional absence may be unavoidable, it in no way excuses a student from meeting the
requirements of the course. Participation in an institution-sponsored activity is not
regarded as an absence. All students are responsible for preparing all assignments for the
next class and for completing work missed. Attendance significantly affects a student’s
progress in meeting course requirements.
A student is encouraged to attend all class meetings for classes in which he/she is
registered. Absences are counted beginning with the first class meeting after the student
registers; however, students are responsible for all coursework beginning with the first
day the class meets Students are responsible for the knowledge, skills, and abilities not
acquired due to absences and for assignments made or due from the first class
Course Evaluation Policy
The purpose of the course evaluation system at Faulkner State Community College is to
improve the course content and instruction practice in ways that enhance student
learning. Students are an important source of information about the effectiveness of a
course and its instructors. Please respond candidly to the questions in the course
evaluation for each course in which you are enrolled.
In appreciation for completing course evaluations, Faulkner State Community College will
grant respondents “early access” to view their semester grades on Interact as soon as
grades have been processed by the registrar.
Students who do not complete course evaluations must wait seven days after the last day
of the semester to have traditional access to grades through Interact.
Electronic Devices Policy
Electronic devices such as Cell phones, Kindles, Nooks, iPads and their attending noise are
distracting to both faculty and students in classrooms, labs, testing centers and libraries.

FERPA Policy
Satisfactory Progress
Statement on Discrimination/Harassment
Student Conduct and Academic Honesty
Withdrawal Policy
These areas are also inappropriate sites for telephone conversations. In consideration of
others and to minimize distractions, all electronic devices must be turned off unless prior
approval is obtained by the instructor, Dean of Instruction, or designee. Telephone
conversations should be conducted in building lobbies or outdoors. The abuse of
electronic devices by the students is a violation of the student code of conduct.
Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, I will only
be able to reply to email from your official Faulkner State Community College email
address. Contact the help desk immediately if you cannot access your Faulkner State
Community College email account at 251.580.4900.
If you feel you are not making satisfactory progress in this course, please see your
instructor. Students may receive information from the instructor on their performance
and progress in both lecture and lab classes during scheduled office hours.
The College and the Alabama Community College System are committed to providing both
employment and educational environments free of harassment or discrimination related
to an individual’s race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, or disability. Such
harassment is a violation of Board of Trustee policy. Any practice or behavior that
constitutes harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated. Any member of the college
community who believes that he or she has been the victim of harassment may bring the
matter to the attention of any College official, dean, director, supervisor, or advisor.
Policies and Procedures as outlined in the Student Handbook will be followed pages 3665 in the Faulkner State 2015-16 Catalog & Student Handbook
Students may withdraw from class or the College any time prior to the last day of class
before any final exams start for any semester or term, as published in the printed semester
schedule for the College. To withdraw from class or the college, students must file an
official withdrawal form in either the Registrar’s Office or in the Administrative Offices on
branch campuses.
Students who file the appropriate paperwork for withdrawals prior to the deadline will be
assigned a grade of “W”. However a grade of "F" will be assigned to students who fail to
satisfactorily complete the requirements of a course or who voluntarily discontinue class
attendance and fail to follow the official withdrawal procedure.
The last day to withdraw from this class is Friday December 2nd 2016.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NUR 202
Posting of Grades:
Posting of grades on Canvas will be done no sooner than 24 hours after the test, or later at the discretion of the instructor. Final course grades are
posted on the FSCC web Interact. Students who wish to know their numerical grade on the final exam must call to make an appointment with the
instructor for the following semester. No grades will be reported or released via phone, or by email.
Testing Atmosphere:
It is essential that testing times are quiet. Once a student leaves the testing area, the student will not be allowed to return until all students have
completed testing. No books, paper, purses, caps or hats, drinks or food, palm pilots, PDAs, cell phones or calculators (other than those specifically
approved by the instructor for the test) will be allowed on or near any desk while testing. If a student’s phone or electronical device goes off during
an quiz/exam/etc. the student will RECEIVE A ZERO ON THAT PAPER. Please be courteous and maintain a quiet atmosphere in the hall, classroom or
lab areas during test times. Students are expected to keep answer sheets and Scantron forms covered and will be required to turn in the test and the
provided cover sheet at the end of the test.
Tests are timed at one (1) minute per question. Students arriving late for an examination must take the examination in the remaining available time.
Students arriving late for a pop quiz will not be allowed to take the quiz. The final examination is comprehensive. The final exam schedule is posted
in the semester course schedule and may differ from other college courses. All course work must be completed and submitted before the final exam
is taken and the course final grade is posted. Failure by the student to submit all clinical evaluation forms, Skills Book, remediation or other
assignment will receive an incomplete for a grade until all work is submitted.
Test formats vary depending on material covered. NCLEX style questions are integrated into each course of the nursing program. Computerized
testing may be utilized throughout the course. Software for these computerized tests must be downloaded on to personal computers to meet the
requirements of the testing atmosphere if being used.
Comprehensive Assessment:
Proficiency level > 2 will score 100%; any score below level 2 is recorded as 0. Proficiency level is determined by this average/comparison. Students
whose results fall below the expected level (Proficiency Level 2) will be given specific feedback on areas below standard and will complete
remediation work in order to improve their knowledge base. All students scoring less than proficiency level 2 will be required to complete a focused
12
review for remediation. An incomplete will be assigned for the class until an acceptable remediation is achieved. Students are ineligible to progress to
the next class with an incomplete.
Dosage Calculation Exam:
A dosage calculation exam will be given at the beginning of the Semester. The student must achieve a passing grade of 80% by the second attempt in
order to continue in the course. No student will be allowed to go to the clinical area until the student has successfully passed the dosage calculation
exam. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule a time with the instructor to repeat dosage calculation exams prior to the start of clinical rotation.
Only the grade for the first attempt will count toward the course grade (2%).
Exam Review:
During exam review, pencils, pens, recorders, cell phones, etc. will not be allowed. Exam reviews may be terminated if the class becomes disruptive,
then students must schedule an appointment to review the exam individually with the instructor by appointment only. All students are REQUIRED to
attend exam reviews. Exam reviews will be held after class or at the instructor’s discretion. All students must make arrangements to attend reviews
that may be held outside scheduled class time. Students may only view the previous exam. It is the student’s responsibility to make an appointment
with the instructor to review exams. NO STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO REVIEW THEIR TEST THE WEEK BEFORE FINAL EXAMS.
Test question challenge forms will only be accepted one week after the exam has been reviewed or one week after the exam was given, whichever is
longer.
CANVAS:
Students are expected to utilize “Canvas”, the FSCC Web system, during this course. Assignments, announcements, power-points and other material
may be posted on Blackboard. Students are expected to check Canvas daily in order to stay current with classroom assignments and are responsible
for knowledge and completion of Canvas material. This web enhanced class provides the student with up to date information and the student should
have daily access to a computer. All class tools are for class instructional issues. All comments and posting not instructional in nature will be reviewed
and may be administratively deleted. Students who fail to comply with this policy may be denied access to class with no refund and may be subject to
the college’s academic code of conduct. All students should be familiar if not proficient in computer assisted instruction. Challenges to computerized
testing or assignment grades must be submitted within seven days from the Blackboard Learn posting date in order to be considered. All
assignments submitted through Black Board for NUR 202 should be saved in a PDF file. They should be saved and named as follows before
submission:
Lastname_Firstname_AssignmentName.pdf
Midterm Evaluations:
Midterm evaluations will only be required for students in academic jeopardy. It is the student’s responsibility to keep abreast of tests, assignment,
and quiz results, and an awareness of academic and clinical performance standing. Questions or difficulties regarding academic or clinical
performance should be discussed with the appropriate clinical or academic instructor or the course coordinator.
Simulation ISTAN: 0900-1200 and 1300 – 1600 (Godfrey, Rudat, Pruett).
When in simulation with iStan or SimMom, students will be held to the same standards as for an on-site clinical day. This includes:
Attendance: A missed simulation assignment is a missed clinical day. Students fail the clinical portion of the course if missing more than one clinical,
including simulation.
Dress code: burgundy scrubs for underclassmen and gray scrubs for seniors, white shoes, hair, jewelry, make-up, nails, etc. per clinical policies.
Completion of preclinical preparation including: review of assigned scenarios, pathology, medication sheets and case studies for each scenario.
These are due at the beginning of each simulation assignment.
Evaluation of simulation performance is the same as for an on-site clinical. Students will be graded on identification of the patient, hand washing,
safety, professional behavior, medication administration, etc. as listed on the simulation evaluation form.
Community Service
Each student will be required to complete at least four (4) hours of community service over the course of the Semester. Community service hours
should be complete prior to the final exam. All service hours should be approved by the instructor. When community hours are performed, the
student should use the provided sheet for proof of the service hours. One-half of the community service may be completed in the classroom with
donations to certain areas of need…one-half should be completed out in the Community.
Clinical and Lab Absenteeism
There are no excused absences for clinical or campus labs. Students who are not able to meet clinical or lab objectives due to related absences will
fail the clinical component of the course. Students missing more than one clinical, lab day or simulation will be withdrawn from the course.
13
Records Due:
Immunizations, CPR, money orders for drug testing and medical insurance must be submitted to the nursing department prior to the beginning of
the semester in which they are due. Students are notified at the end of each semester what items are due to be turned in to the nursing department.
Students will not be allowed to attend classes or clinical until requested information has been received by the nursing department. Turning in records
by the due date specified by the nursing program constitutes a quiz grade. Failure to turn in the requested information by the date specified will
result in a ‘0’ for a quiz grade. A ‘100’ is assigned for a quiz grade if all information is submitted by the due date. It is the responsibility of the student
to verify that information scanned, faxed, and/or mailed was actually received by the department.
Withdrawal Policy:
Students may withdraw from class or the College any time prior to the “last day of withdraw” for any semester or term, as published in the printed
semester schedule for the College. To withdraw from class or the College, students must file an official withdrawal form in either the Registrar’s
Office or in the Administrative Offices on branch campuses.
Students who file the appropriate paperwork for withdrawals prior to the deadline will be assigned a grade of “W”. However, a grade of “F” will be
assigned to students who fail to satisfactorily complete the requirements of a course or who voluntarily discontinue class attendance and fail to
follow the College’s official withdrawal procedure. (Students must attend classes beyond 60% of the term to earn the full Pell Grant received, if any).
Last Day to Withdraw Date: Friday December 2, 2016
Reinstatement:
Applications for reinstatement and letter of intent are due in the Bay Minette office within 48 hours of posting of the last final grade.
Reinstatement is not guaranteed. Reinstatement is based on availability of space and evaluation of past performance by the faculty.
Smoking Area:
All of Faulkner State Community College’s campuses are SMOKE FREE and TOBACCO FREE campuses. All smoking and tobacco products are prohibited
on campus except for in the following designated smoking areas: 1) in a private vehicle or 2) in the parking lot the private vehicle is located as long
as it is not located at the front entrance of a college building. There is a $25 fine for violations of this policy.
Professional Behavior:
Professional behavior is necessary for effective communication and safe patient care. Therefore, each student is expected to demonstrate such
behavior. All class related actions and interactions are to be congruent with the American Nurses Association Code of Conduct. The student is
expected to demonstrate responsibility and accountability for their own professional behavior and development, and to remain open to, and actively
consider feedback in a professional manner, and to convey in all interactions respect, receptivity, openness, and caring.
Professional Dishonesty:
Professional honesty and ethical behavior is an absolute requirement to maintain patient and public safety and confidence in the nursing profession.
Professional dishonesty, including unethical behavior, will not be condoned, and provide grounds for disciplinary action. Examples of
dishonest/unethical behaviors include:
•
Falsifying documentation
•
Lying about performance
•
Failure to stop when incompetent or unqualified to perform a task
•
Failure to perform according to protocols and policy
•
Failure to report mistakes in patient care to the instructor
•
Attempting to conceal by deception the unsafe behavior of another student
•
Performing while impaired by medications, drugs, or alcohol
•
Any violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA),
including, but not limited to unauthorized taking of any client records (or copies) from the patient care unit, discussion of clients or care issues
outside of the clinical or educational setting, discussion of issues in a non-educational or nonprofessional manner or context, collection of any
written information that identifies the name of the client.
•
Violation of the American Nurses Association Code for Nurses
Academic Code:
14
The Academic Code as stated in the Faulkner State Community College Catalog and the Nursing Student Handbook will apply in this class. Academic
honesty is an absolute in order for the student to advance in the program. Because of the nature of the nursing profession, dishonesty or
unprofessional conduct could affect the health or safety of clients. To promote professional conduct and personal integrity, it is imperative that each
student do his/her own work. Students suspected of academic dishonesty will be referred to the Dean of Student Services. Penalties for academic
misconduct may range from reprimand to suspension from the college. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to:
•
Copying from another student’s work, test, or paper, including clinical paperwork, or
allowing another to receive credit for your work
•
Looking at another student’s exam or allowing another student to look at your exam
•
Collaboration with another student or any person during an exam
•
Use of anything not sanctioned by the individual administering the exam
•
Obtaining, buying, selling, soliciting, transmitting, or stealing any exam or any
components of the exam, including exams bought on the internet
•
Sharing or receiving information about an exam from another section or class group
•
Unauthorized recording
•
Recording or note taking during test review
•
Bribery to obtain exam information
•
Breach of test security
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the copying from the work of another word for word, or in substance, and offering the copy as one’s own work for credit. Written work
must be the student’s own work. Proper credit is given to the original author of any information using APA format.
Students should remain aware of potential plagiarism while preparing all assignments. Plagiarism, intentional or unintentional, constitutes academic
dishonesty, and is grounds for disciplinary action.
Satisfactory Progress:
If you are not making satisfactory progress in this course, please see your instructor. Students may receive information from the instructor on their
performance and progress in both lecture and clinical during scheduled office hours.
Cell Phone and Electronic Devise Policy:
The use of cellular phones, pagers, and communication devices of any kind is not allowed in Faulkner State Community College classes or in the
Learning Resource Centers. These items must be turned off and put away while in class and during participation in any Faulkner State Community
College activity. A failure to do so will be dealt with in accordance with the College’s Student Academic Code of Conduct. Additionally, cell phone
possession or use is prohibited on clinical units and will be subject to clinical disciplinary action as outlined in the FSCC Nursing Student Handbook.
Cell Phones or any electronic devices are prohibited during examinations and test review. If it becomes apparent the student has kept in their
possession a cell phone or any electronic device during and exam/exam review the student will not receive credit for the exam and will be required to
meet with the department chair for disciplinary action.
Tape recorders may be used at the instructor's discretion. If allowed, there shall be no disruption of class while handling recorders. If your electronic
devices become disruptive during class, clinical, or computer lab, you will be dismissed from the class and not allowed to return. If the student is
allowed to tape during the semester, at any time the privileges may be provoked due to abuse of the electronic devices.
All cell phone and mobile devices are not allowed during class. Any student whose cell phone rings during class or lab activities will be asked to leave
the class/lab and may not be able to return to the classroom for the remainder of the day.
Pencils, pens, recorders, etc. will not be allowed during review of examinations.
Minors on Campus:
No employee, student or visitor should bring minors not enrolled as FSCC students to class or leave a minor unattended at the College. Unattended
minors on the FSCC campus may be referred to the campus police for assistance or to the Department of Human Resources. This procedure
pertains to all employees, students, and visitors (including vendors) who attend classes, programs, events, or other activities.
Room Temperature:
Please note that we are not always able to control the room temperature. Bring extra garments as the classroom/lab may be chilly.
Grading:
15
Note that a “C” requires a grade of 75-79 in FSCC’s nursing courses. Students are encouraged to study 2-3 hours outside of class reading and/or
studying the material for every hour spent in class. Students should read the assignment before class, take notes during class, and follow-up by
reviewing after class. Information from previous classes may be included in discussions and on exams. Students are expected to have comprehensive
knowledge of material covered in previous classes; therefore, students are advised to review previously covered material for better clarification and
understanding of the current class content.
Evaluation of the student is based upon academic achievement, and satisfactory attendance and performance in the clinical component. The
academic grade may be determined through unit exams, written exams, written assignments, unannounced daily quizzes, vocabulary tests, class
participation, group assignments, online case studies or any other assignment at the instructor’s discretion. A satisfactory grade of 75% or above
must be achieved for passing Nursing 202.
*This course faculty reserves the right to amend, adjust or deviate from this syllabus. During NUR 202, students will be required to come to campus on
days other than the scheduled theory, lab and clinical days in order to complete various requirements of the course. Students will be advised in advance
regarding the alternate days that they will be required to come to campus. If the student misses these activities the student may not be allowed to make
up the designated activities.
