Clinical Grading

To receive a passing clinical grade, the following must occur:

• EACH clinical objective must be passed by a minimum 80%
• An objective is passed by meeting 80% of the performance standard during the week’s clinical experience.
• Essential procedures and criteria must be passed.
• Written work must be satisfactorily completed and on time. Late assignments will not be accepted and will result in a ZERO.
• 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.
• If theory or lab is failed the didactic, lab and clinical components must be repeated.
• There is to be no extra credit for missed days (unless excused) or late paperwork. Late paperwork will result in a zero (0).
• If a student is dismissed from a clinical facility by the clinical site or personnel, they are dismissed from the clinical for the rest of the term. Depending on the reason for the dismissal, the student may be dismissed from the program if there has been a violation of the Nursing Code of Ethics or if the student did anything illegal or that could cause patient or staff harm.
