Course Description

Pre-requisites/co-requisites Learning Objectives and Outcomes

Demonstrate knowledge of growth and development when utilizing the nursing process to care for pediatric clients. Implement nursing actions for selected complex clients, based on assessment of actual/potential pediatric health problems. Demonstrate proficiency in verbal, written and electronic communication and documentation to plan, deliver and evaluate care to pediatric clients/families in a variety of health care environments. Evaluate personal beliefs and values related to legal and ethical issues and professional responsibilities

Disabilities Policy: In accordance with University Policy 2310 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), any student needing academic accommodations should first contact Accessibility Services at 863-7660 (Gurley Hall 1133). It is also imperative that you take the initiative to bring such needs to the instructors attention, as your instructor is not legally permitted to inquire. Students who may require assistance in emergency evacuations should contact the instructor as to the most appropriate procedures to follow.

Teaching Methods: NURS 232 will use a variety of approaches to meet the course outcomes. These instructional methods may include, but are not limited to lecture, audio-visual materials, guided discussions, group projects, role playing, self evaluation, written assignments, computer and on-line activities, decision-making exercises, skills, clinical laboratories and experiences. Evaluation/Grading Methods: Please see Grading Policies in the Nursing Student Handbook. Theory Grading Policy: Tests administered in the nursing courses and used to calculate course grades are multiple-choice. These exams will constitute 90% of the students final grade. There will be a minimum of four (4) theory tests in each nursing course. There are no exam retakes, dropping of the lowest grade or extra credit. Other methods of evaluation will amount to no more than 10% of a students total grade and will not substitute for a passing grade in the testing component of the grade calculation. A students test average must be at least 75% in order to progress to the next semester. A failing grade will not be rounded to a passing grade (example: 74.99% does not round to 75%, however a 79.99% will round to 80%). Assignment Grading Policy: Assignments will be lowered 10% of the total possible points for each day the assignment is late. No points will be awarded if the assignment is more than three (3) days late. Assignments are to be turned in to the course instructor either in person or submitted electronically. Clinical/Lab Grading Policy: All clinical/lab rotations will be graded with a Pass/Fail. To pass, a student must successfully complete 75% of the stated objectives located in the clinical evaluation tool and complete all of the hours required. Failure to pass the clinical/lab component will result in a failure of both theory and clinical components. ATI Exam: A standardized examination developed by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) is 5% of the grade for this course. The student must achieve an 80% or greater on a practice exam and bring proof of that grade to the proctored exam when it is scheduled. If the student achieves a Proficiency Level 2 or higher on the proctored exam, he or she will receive the 5%. If not, the student is required to remediate by making a 3X5 index card for each item listed under Topics for Review on the test report and score 90% or greater on a second practice exam. The test report from the first proctored test, the index cards and proof of 90% or greater on the second practice test are required at the time of the second proctored exam. If the student achieves a Proficiency Level 2 or higher on the second proctored exam, the student will receive the 5% at that time. The student must complete the ATI component of the course to pass the course. See the student nurse handbook for the complete ATI policy. Successful completion of NURS 232 requires the student achieve: 1. A cumulative average of all theory tests at 75% or better and 2. A cumulative average of all test and all written work/projects at 75% or greater. (Comprehensive) and 3. Pass in both the campus laboratory (including assigned online skills modules) and clinical experiences and 4. Completion of all components of the course. Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is a serious situation that will not be tolerated. The nursing program adheres to the campus policy that includes possible dismissal from the program for incidents of cheating. Please refer to the UNM-Gallup Student Handbook policy on Academic Dishonesty. Required Textbooks and Materials: McKinney, E.S., James, S.R., Murray, S.S., & Ashwill, J.W. (2009) 3rd. ED. Maternal-Child Nursing. Saunders-Elsevier

All textbooks, materials, uniforms, equipment, supplies, fees, insurance and immunizations required in previous nursing courses. Assessment Methods: Tests, Quizzes, ATI test, clinical evaluation tool and course assignments. Guidelines and rubrics for the following assignments are at the end of this syllabus: Clinical Evaluation Tool Child Care Observation/Analysis Tool Primary Clinic Evaluation Tool Attendance Policy: Attendance in both the class and clinical settings is expected of the student. Nonattendance may result in failure of a class. Professional behavior requires the nurse to be accountable for their actions in any setting. Behaviors that are established in the nursing program will prepare the student for the role of graduate and registered nurse. The following policies delineate expected student behaviors: Clinical/Lab: Attendance is mandatory. There are some circumstances under which students should not be in the clinical setting. These include, but are not limited to, hospitalization and communicable illnesses. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the clinical instructor and the course faculty member prior to the time of the absence. If proper notification is not provided, the absence will be considered unexcused. Under no circumstances is a student to leave the clinical setting without first notifying the instructor or instructor designee. If a student leaves clinical any time before the end of the scheduled clinical, the student will not receive credit for this clinical day. This may also result in failure of clinical leading to failure of the course. Any clinical or skills lab make up, in cases of excused absences, is at the discretion of the course coordinator. In addition, extra clinical hours or written work may be required to complete the course or a grade of incomplete may be given for the course. Absences, including leaving clinical early, may prevent successful completion of the course. Theory: Students are expected to attend all classes, including those when tests are scheduled. If a student must miss a test, he/she is required to notify the instructor of the course directly prior to the time of the test. If notification is received prior to the time of the test, the faculty member may reschedule the test or schedule a test over the material in an alternate format, such as an essay test. If notification is not received by the instructor prior to the time the test is scheduled, the test grade will be 0. Any date for, or the format of, a rescheduled test is at the discretion of the instructor. If a student misses more than one test in a semester, the full nursing faculty will meet to discuss the issue and decide on consequences, up to and including failure of the course. Cell phone and pager policy: Cell phone use is not allowed in the classrooms, computer lab or the hallways. Cell phones must be turned off before the student enters any nursing program buildings. Students may not leave the classroom to answer calls on a cell phone. Text-messaging is prohibited in the classroom. Cell phones must be turned off and put away while a student is in the classroom or computer lab. Cell phones are never allowed in the clinical setting. Closures for weather: Check local news sources for UNM-G closures of delays; these are often different from Gallup-McKinley Schools. Please see Inclement Weather Policy in the Nursing Student Handbook. Clinical Schedules will be held as scheduled unless individual students are notified by instructor. If UNM-G classes are delayed, nursing classed will not be cancelled but will start as soon as the campus opens. Example: if there is a 2 hour delay, classes scheduled at 0830 to 1130 will start at 10 AM.

If conditions are more severe at the students location than they are on campus, the student will need to notify the instructor of that fact and give estimated time of arrival. A tardy will not be counted.
