TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: As the instructors for this course, we believe it is our job to
foster a safe learning environment, to provide experiences that will facilitate achievement of the
course outcomes, to clearly communicate expectations, and to provide constructive evaluation. It
is our expectation that each student will assume responsibility for their own learning by
completing all of the reading assignments and activities provided as well as actively participating
in clinical. It is the student’s responsibility to seek instructor or preceptor guidance and support
in performing nursing care.

routine perinatal or pediatric client meeting clinical evaluation criteria.
1. Initiate and document holistic care of perinatal and pediatric patients within the scope of
practice of the practical nurse.
3
2. Communicate effectively with patients, patients’ families and healthcare team.
3. Begin understanding of data gathering, problem-identification, planning, implementing
nursing care and contributing to the evaluation within the childbirth center and pediatric setting
using appropriate technology.
COURSE POLICIES:
Conform to NSCC policies regarding appearance and professional behavior at all times.
Come to clinical prepared. You are not to perform any procedure (giving meds, dressing
changes, catheters etc) without notifying your instructor or preceptor first. Failure to do so will
result in immediate dismissal for the day, followed by disciplinary action.
The role of the clinical instructor is one of instruction and evaluation. It is the student’s
responsibility to seek instructor guidance and support in performing nursing care.
For a positive clinical experience it is recommended that you bring a nursing drug reference and
care plan reference. Come to clinical prepared. This means being able to develop a plan of care
for your assigned patient and to answer questions about your client's diagnosis, medications, and
therapy with your instructor each day. It also means having the appropriate equipment and the
ability to research or provide the appropriate data. Course expectations are the following:
Arrive on time
Come prepared
Ask for help
Use each other as resources
Actively participate in discussion
Communicate information clearly to staff, instructor, team, patients and families
Use your critical thinking skills to the best of your ability when making decisions about patient
care
Check in with instructor/preceptor prior to meal breaks
ATTENDANCE/TARDINESS POLICY
There are NO make-up clinical days. All scheduled times missed will be considered an
absence. It is expected that all students attend all clinical sessions, arrive on time, not leave
early, and be prepared to actively participate. Students are expected to attend all orientation
classes. You are expected to call instructor’s cell phone immediately to notify her that you will
be late or absent. Except in the case of an absolute emergency, absence without notification prior
to the start of the clinical day will constitute an unexcused absence and will be subject to
disciplinary action. Any unexcused absence for any reason prevents the student from meeting
course objectives and will result in a 0 grade for the day.
The procedure for reporting clinical absences is to notify the instructor a minimum of 1
hour prior to the start of the clinical day. Students must call the instructor to report an
absence. Sending a message with a fellow student will not be accepted. A “No Call, No
Show” is a serious offense and may be grounds for dismissal and will be referred to the
VP of Student Services. All clinical absences will be reviewed by the nursing faculty and
the Nursing Director. If you have a communicable disease/condition, an injury, or a
change in health status that may affect your ability to provide patient care, you are
required to bring a note from the physician that specifies whether or not you may return
4
to the clinical setting and any work-related physical constrictions.
Clinical objectives must be met daily and absences will jeopardize the meeting of these
objectives, which are necessary to pass the course. Attendance is pertinent to pass the
course. Tardiness will reduce points on professionalism and will affect the total course
grade
Guidelines per the NSCC LPN Handbook:
1. Absences will jeopardize meeting daily objectives and therefore success.
2. A student is allowed one medical or family emergency absence from clinical with a
doctor’s note each quarter. Any additional absences or ones that are not a medical
emergency (unexcused) will result in a 0 for the day which in clinical results in
failing the course.
3. Two 5-minute tardies will constitute an absence and a zero for the day which results
in failing the clinical course.
4. There is no scheduled “make up” laboratory or clinical days. Any make-up work for
an excused absence will be negotiated with the involved instructor.
5. In the case of an absence
a. Call clinical site
b. Call instructor, not another student
EXPECTATION OF THE STUDENTS
Because you have only two shifts in OB, you will not be giving any medications. Your
experience will focus on observation as well as practice of clinical skills. You will be assigned to
work with a staff nurse and will be expected to participate in caring for mothers and infants,
doing assessments, and practicing any skills that are within your scope of practice as student
LPNs. You are expected to arrange your nursing activities so you are on time for conferences.
Students are expected to come to pre and post conference ready to discuss and actively
participate. Information shared in pre and post conference regarding patients or fellow
classmates is considered confidential. “What is shared in the classroom stays in the classroom”.
NURSING CLINICAL POLICIES
Guidelines for Student Conduct: Students are expected to comply with student conduct policy
and procedures. Information on student responsibilities and rights is available at the following
websites: http://www.seattlecolleges.com/studentrules.aspx or
Intranet site: http://www.seattlecolleges.com/studentrules.aspx
Patient Confidentiality
Strict confidentiality should be maintained at all times. Refer to LPN Student Handbook.
5
Cell Phone Etiquette: To avoid disruption of the learning environment, students are expected
to turn off or silence cell phones. Phones are not to be on the student’s person. Do not answer
phone calls while on the unit. Please use scheduled breaks to return calls.
Classroom Diversity Statement: Respect for diversity is a core value of NSCC. Our college
community fosters an optimal learning climate and an environment of mutual respect. We, the
college community, recognize individual differences. Therefore, we are responsible for the
content and tone of our statements and are empathetic speakers and listeners.
Respectful and Inclusive Environment: The instructor and student share the responsibility to
foster a learning environment that is welcoming, supportive, and respectful of cultural and
individual differences. Open and respectful communication that allows for the expression of
varied opinions and multicultural perspectives encourages us to learn freely from each other.
Fragrance Policy: Students are requested to refrain from wearing heavily scented products
during class sessions, since some individuals may experience chemical sensitivities to fragrances
that interfere with their learning. Do not wear any scents, perfumes, strong smelling deodorants
or lotions.
Transportation: Clinical instruction and experience are provided throughout the program in
long-term care facilities, acute care hospitals, and clinics. It is the student’s responsibility to
arrange transportation to and from these facilities.
Student Ratios: Clinical placements are made to ensure that all students receive the appropriate
variety of experiences. Long term care facilities and acute care facilities generally have a ratio of
6-8 students per instructor and clinics utilize the nurses as preceptors in a 1:1 ratio.
Dress Code: Students are to adhere to the standards, policies, and regulations of the clinical sites
during their clinical education program. These standards include wearing appropriate attire,
including nametags, and patches ironed on the left upper arm at the shoulder, and conforming to
the standards and practices of the site. Nametags and patches must remain visible at all times and
must not be covered by a sweater while on the floor. A sweater or T-shirt may be worn under the
scrubs. Students should wear casual business attire (no jeans) with facility ID badge during the
pediatric clinical if scrubs are not requested by your preceptor.
Facility Orientation: If the clinical site requires a special orientation of students, students
MUST attend or they will be unable to attend clinical. Each facility has unique policies,
procedures, and documentation practices. Students must attend the orientation in order to be
prepared to attend clinical and provide safe care for patients within these facilities. Students who
do not attend the orientation will meet with the Nursing Faculty and the Program Director, and
referred to the VP of Student Services.
Leaving the Unit: Students are to remain at the site during the clinical assignment. Leaving the
floor without notifying the staff and instructor/preceptor where patients are assigned is
considered abandonment of patients. If a student is found to have abandoned his/her patients, the
student may be referred to the VP of Student Services, which may lead to dismissal from the
6
program. If the student needs to leave the floor for any reason he/she must let the nurse in charge
and the instructor/preceptor know.
Standard Precautions: Students are expected to follow the Standard Precautions with ALL
patients regardless of whether they have a communicable disease or not.
Procedures and Treatments: Students should NOT perform any procedure/treatment
independently (i.e. giving meds, dressing changes, catheters, etc) without first obtaining
permission from the instructor/preceptor. Failure to do so may result in immediate dismissal for
the day followed by disciplinary action.
Clinical Errors: Clinical errors must be reported immediately to the charge nurse and the
clinical instructor. An NSCC Practical Nursing Program Student incident report must be filled
out, even if the instructor catches the error before the student administers the medicine or
treatment. In the event that the student does perform the wrong procedure a facility incident
report must also be made out. The student incident report will be placed in the student’s file until
graduation. Serious errors will be reviewed by the faculty and administration and may be
referred to the VP of Student Services. (See Student Clinical Incident Report in Section VII.)
Injuries and Accidents: Any injuries sustained during the clinical day should be reported to the
nursing instructor immediately.
Student Support Services:
Students are encouraged to seek campus support services when necessary to support their
learning and academic progress. Refer to student handbook, brochures/flyers, or college website
for information about: Disability Services, Advising Center, Tutoring Services, Student
Leadership Programs, Library, Financial Aid Office, LOFT Writing Center Plus,
Admission/Registration/Records/Credentials (ARRC), Counseling, Women’s Center,
Multicultural Services Office, and/or Wellness Center

CLINICAL EVALUATION OF STUDENTS
1. Clinical Evaluation Grading is based on the attached form with the point scale of 1-4 for
each category each clinical day.
23
a. Each student receives a formal, written clinical performance evaluation from the
instructor. The written clinical evaluation measures the student’s performance of
the course objectives, outlines strengths and weakness, and makes appropriate
recommendations for improvement if necessary. Students in danger of failing will
receive a Learning Agreement, which remains in the student file until graduation
from the program. (See Section VII for the Learning Agreement)
b. The student must sign the evaluation to show that he/she has read the evaluation.
If the student does not agree with the instructor’s evaluation he/she may make
comments on the document. A copy will be given to the student. (See Clinical
Evaluation Objectives/Clinical Evaluation in Appendix)
c. Clinical performance will be evaluated on a daily basis. If the student is deemed
unsafe, a Learning Agreement will be issued and the student will plan for
improvement with the instructor. If the safety issue continues, the student will
meet with the faculty and administration to discuss the student’s ability to
progress in the program. Performance evaluations will be written by the
instructor, reviewed by the student, and MUST be signed as evidence of having
been read. The student will receive a copy. Students may write a response to
instructor’s anecdotal notes.

NOE 114 EVALUATION TOOL SCORING
Directions:
Each of the clinical objectives is scored on each clinical day using
the following point scale*
4- Student meets expectations (objectives) consistently by performing previously learned
tasks and providing client care with no prompting or reminders and performing newly
learned tasks and client care with 1 reminder or prompting given throughout the shift.
3- Student meets expectations (objective) consistently by performing previously learned
tasks and providing client care with no prompting or reminders and performing newly
learned tasks and client care with 2 occasional reminders or prompting given throughout
the shift.
2- Student meets expectations (objectives) inconsistently by performing previously and
newly learned tasks and client care with 3 reminders or prompting given throughout the
shift.
1- Student does not meet expectations (Objective). Student is unable to perform previously
or newly learned tasks and provide client care unless provided with more than 3
reminders and/or step-by-step instruction from instructor.
N/A- No opportunity to observe
*Note: Partial points (ie. 0.5 or 0.25) may be given.
Any score of <2 requires a separate anecdotal note to be written and placed with the
student’s evaluation. The instructor should meet with the student to discuss the anecdotal
note & inform the student of inconsistency in meeting the clinical objectives. The clinical
expectations and objectives should be reinforced and the student assisted in forming a plan to
meet those objectives.
31
If during any clinical day or week the student receives a total of <37 points, the student may
be dismissed immediately from the clinical rotation. This indicates that the student is not safe
in the clinical setting.
