Course requirements listed must be completed in order to pass the course. A student must have a grade of at least 80% in order to receive a passing grade and continue in the nursing program.   3. Regular attendance is expected at each class as part of professional behavior. In the event of a student being unable to attend class, prior notification to the faculty is appreciated and requested. Repeated absences from class will affect the student’s professionalism grade.  4. Tests/quizzes are to be taken at the times they are scheduled. In the event a test must be missed, prior notification to faculty member is required. Any quiz/exam missed without prior notification of the instructor will be graded as a “zero”. No makeup exam/quiz will be allowed in this instance. Arrangements will need to be made for testing with faculty member or testing center and will be allowed at the discretion of the instructor. Exams will be held in class or on Moodle at specified times listed in course outline.  Unless specifically announced by the instructor, unit test, quizzes or exams are NOT open book or open note tests.  Moodle quizzes/exams will be open for 24 hours.  5. Paperwork Due Dates: Late assignments will only be accepted if the student notifies the instructor before the due date- at the discretion of the instructor.

In blended classes or distance learning classes, recorded lectures are not allowed to be re-broadcast in any way and any material discussed, in face to face classes or in on-line discussion groups, is considered confidential.  If a student breaks this policy, it will be considered academic misconduct. It is an expectation that students will not share case studies/recorded case studies or recorded lectures with other classes as this is considered cheating and deprives the incoming class of valuable learning experience.

QSEN:  QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses) is being integrated throughout the curriculum. This was initiated in fall 2012 with safety and will continue until all competencies have been integrated. QSEN has evolved from the landmark IOM report “To Err is Human” published in 2000.* The six QSEN competencies are: safety, patient-centered care, teamwork & collaboration, evidenced-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. There are a total of 162 KSAs (knowledge, skills and attitudes) associated with these six competencies that will be introduced throughout the curriculum. There will be QSEN classroom, clinical and/or simulation assignments that will be address these competencies throughout the semester. QSEN written assignments should be concise but thorough. Outside resources are encouraged and they should be in APA format.
