Clinical Grading 

  1. Instructors are expected to specify expectations in measurable terms.
  2. Instructors should give weekly, timely and constructive feedback.
  3. Supervise all invasive procedures and medication administration or delegate (if acceptable) to appropriate agency personnel.
  4. Clinical assignments are graded on a point system with 80% as the minimum passing grade. 
  5. There is to be no credit for missed days or late paperwork.  Late paperwork will result in a zero (0). 
  6. To receive a passing clinical grade, the following must occur:  
    1. EACH clinical objective must be passed by meeting 80% of the performance standards during the clinical experience.  
    2. All essential procedures and criteria must be passed. 
    3. Written work must be satisfactorily completed and on time.  Late assignments for clinical locations and simulation lab will not be accepted and will result in a ZERO. 
  7. If the student fails to pass the clinical, all three related instructions need to be repeated; the didactic class, the lab and the clinical assignment.   
  8. If the lecture class or lab is failed, the didactic/lecture class, lab and clinical components must be repeated.
