Reflective problem-solving essay/presentation & Careplan – Case Study

X. Grading Policy

Grading of all methods of evaluations is done on a point basis. The letter grade is calculated from the number of points earned against the number of points possible.

Exam 1 100Exam 2 100Exam 3 100Final Comprehensive Exam (1 point per question) 100Cumulative points from exams & quizzes must total 298 - equal to 75% in order for the additional points to count

400 Possible Points

Bio posting (10 points) 10EAQ (10 points each) (lowest 1 dropped) 70HESI Integrated Testing 35Reflective problem-solving essay/presentation (25/25 pts) 50 (25/25)Careplan (part 1 and 2 – each 50 points) 100Total Possible Points Cumulative points must total 496 in order to attain a grade of C or better and progress within the nursing program

665

See WNC Nursing Program Student Handbook for grading policy & final grade distribution.

The total points possible for exams is 400; students must have a cumulated score of 298 points to pass (75%). If the 298 points is not achieved, the other assignment points earned will not be averaged into the final grade and the student will receive only the grade achieved on the exams. (See student handbook


regarding grading policy). If the student has earned 298 points or better, the points earned from the other assignments are combined with the exams score for the overall course grade.

Total points for the course is 665. Students must have a cumulative score of at least 496 in order to receive a passing grade of C (75%) and progress within the nursing program (See the WNC Nursing Program Student Handbook).

All exams must be taken on date scheduled. All exams are taken online in the WNC Computer lab (8:00 - 09:30 am of the exam day) unless accommodations are made. If a written exam is used, only the answers on the scantron will count so be sure to mark the answer you want clearly on the scantron.

There will be no extra credit questions on exams! Exam scores will be released at the completion of the exam in WNC online. If the

exam is taken in written format, grades will be released by 5:00 pm Friday of the exam week.

You have one week after grades are posted to further review the content of the exam. You are highly recommended to review your exams. Test review sessions may be scheduled during faculty office hours.

Any exam question, concern or debate regarding exam questions must be submitted via email to the appropriate faculty in APA format and rationale referenced per APA within one week of the exam for consideration.

Any students caught cheating on an exam, quiz, or assignment will receive a 0. No exceptions. Refer to criteria for exam taking.

Withdrawal Policy: The last day to drop a course with a “W” is October 26, 2017 otherwise the grade earned for the course will be recorded.

HESI practice tests are available throughout the semester with rationale available for all questions. While there are no course “points” allocated for these, they are very helpful to enhance your student learning.

Following the HESI examination each student will review their color-coded report identifying strengths and weaknesses. If the student meets or exceeds the national score the full 35 points will be awarded. If not, the student has the opportunity to complete remediation based upon the identified areas of weakness. A minimum of 2 hours of remediation must be documented in the HESI system in order to earn 28 points or 80% of the possible points possible for this assignment. This assignment does not count towards the exam points for the course and are entered into the assignments portion of the course point’s distribution.

Classroom Community

Welcome to your first nursing course NURS 136 Foundations of Nursing: Theory. This course covers areas basic nursing bedside skills to fluid and electrolyte management. It is a very comprehensive course and will at times be very heavy with content. It is important that each person that attends this class have all the opportunity possible to master this content. Every member of this class has the right to participate freely in the class activities without interruption or feeling insecure or insignificant. In order for this to occur certain classroom conduct is expected. As an interactive class it is particularly important to limit interruptions, background noise, and talking so that all can hear and participate in the lecture sessions. In order for this to occur, certain classroom conduct is expected. We have outlined behaviors that are expected of the students and instructors.

1. Each member of the community is important to that community as any other member.2. Every member of the classroom community deserves the right to speak his or her own

thoughts as long as those thoughts do not intentionally hurt another.3. No member of the community has the right to interfere in the exercise of another

member’s right to speak: when a member is speaking no one else should. 4. All members of the community are expected to attend class and become involved in the

topic of the day. The benefit of coming to class is in networking with your peers and coming to a better understanding of the topics discussed. Your attendance at class benefits all. Because time is limited and much content is covered it is important that the class begin at the appointed hour. Unless prior arrangements have been made, those who arrive late shall wait until the next classroom break to enter.

5. The only learning materials allowed in the classroom are those directly related to the activities of the class. All other materials, cell phone, PDA’s newspapers, magazines must be put away. Shut off all cell phones. No texting allowed during class times! Computers are allowed to take lecture notes, however no other online activities (such as Facebooking) is allowed during lecture!

6. Trust and respect are expected for everyone in the classroom. Talking with your neighbor and making unnecessary noise will not be tolerated.

XIV. Course Grading Rubrics

NURS 136: Foundations of Nursing Science - Reflective Paper Assignment

This paper is to be 1000-1250 words in APA format. You are to reflect on an event that has been an epiphany for you this semester in your clinical experience (how you felt in that situation, what you have learned, and how this learning experience will change your behavior in similar situations in the future). In the paper, describe the experience, how you felt about it, include both positive and negative feelings, and associate the experience with at least 3 concepts you learned in the classroom in any course you had this fall. Explain how you will use that information in the future and how important that experience was to you. These concepts must be cited (see APA and in-text citations) using reputable sources.

Reflective WritingReflection is thinking about a situation that happened and your response to the situation. Reflect on what happened, what you felt, and what you were thinking at the time. Include what the outcome of the experience means to you. How will it affect your future thinking and or behavior? What will you do differently? For instance, is there a procedure or policy you need to review? Do you need to be more assertive, or change your attitude or beliefs? Reflect on what you believed before the experience and now after the experience. Reflective thinking is like making sense of your thoughts and feelings.

Nursing Concepts

Compare the concepts you learned in any of your first semester courses with the situation you are writing about. Be sure to explain the concepts you are using. Do not assume the reader knows what you are talking about. If you are talking about medical asepsis be sure the audience understands the practice of medical asepsis. For instance, how would you explain medical asepsis to your parent or spouse or friend? You need not only to be clear, but accurate.

This paper is worth 25 points. You must use at least two different references and cite per APA format. You may also use electronic resources as long as the concept has been discussed in your classes.

This paper is due 11/19/17 and posted to WNC Online (Canvas) by midnight. Be sure to follow APA guidelines. Be sure to have a title page. Cite your citations in the body of your paper using in-text citations and provide a reference page at the end. Your paper should be well organized with a heading, introduction paragraph and conclusion. Explain what happened, and your reflective thoughts, then how it relates to the concepts you learned and lastly how it will change your thinking and/or behavior in the future (conclusion). Use a separate paragraph for each concept and state the concept clearly. The reader should not have to search for the concepts your using.

Presentations based upon the reflective paper experience will be held on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 from 1-4 pm. 25 points possible. Grading rubrics follow:
