CHANGES TO THE COURSE OUTLINE Changes to the course outline will be made with the consent of the course instructor and students. Changes will be reviewed by the Associate Dean of the School for consistency with College policies.

OVERARCHING STATEMENT Students are responsible to familiarize themselves with the CARNA Entry-Level Competencies for the practice of Registered Nurses (2019), CASN baccalaureate framework and Student Success: BScN Program Benchmarks which are located in the BScN student handbook.

All students are also responsible to practice in a manner that is consistent with:

• CARNA Requisite Skills and Abilities for Becoming a Registered Nurse in Alberta (2011) • CARNA Nursing Practice Standards (2013) and all other CARNA standards • The CNA Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses (2017). • Red Deer College Policies regarding student conduct. • University of Alberta Policies regarding student conduct.

LEVELS OF INDEPENDENCE In evaluating objectives, the following levels of independence will be used. Note that there is an expected progression within a course and between levels.

Levels of independence Description (beginning of term →end of term) (beginning of term→ end of term) With minimal assistance to The student requires occasional direction and information to With guidance______the student requires clarification, prompting, and confirmation.

Definitions With assistance: The student requires direction and information. With minimal assistance: The student requires occasional direction and information. With guidance: The student requires clarification, prompting, and confirmation. With minimal guidance: The student requires occasional clarification, prompting and confirmation. Independently: The student works mostly on his or her own and seeks information, clarification and consultation as appropriate. Direction: Faculty tells the student what to do, about what steps to take. Information: Faculty tells the student specifics about a concept or topic. Clarification: Faculty, through questioning and feedback, assists the student to state their information in a different and clearer way, often with more details. The student asks questions to increase their understanding; questions asked demonstrate a sound knowledge base. Prompting: Faculty provides the student with a cue that answer is incomplete or incorrect and how to resolve the lack of information. A prompt is broader than a hint. Prompting is generally used to add breadth or depth. Confirmation: Faculty provides positive feedback for correct information and direction provided by the student. Consultation: The student provides faculty with information and/or direction and asks specific questions about the information. Occasional: indicates that input is provided by faculty now and then.

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE To successfully complete NURS 217, students must complete:

If a student is sick or will be missing an in-class assessment, notification of the instructor must occur at least one hour prior to the start of the assessment. If sufficient notification is not provided, a mark of zero will be given on the assessment.

The assessments in all courses are linked to the overall course outcomes. Vital information is learned through the completion of assessments. Any missed or uncompleted assessments will impact overall learning and may impact students’ ability to meet the minimal course grade in-program requirement.

COURSE PROCEDURES & CONSEQUENCES:

EXAMS Exams will be timed and required to be submitted when the time is completed. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that the laptop is charged and working properly (including the webcam) with the relevant software loaded and up to date. MIDTERM FEEDBACK See Grading System

PARTICIPATION & PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

PARTICIPATION Learning is enhanced by actively engaging in the course material. While attendance is the first step towards your success in this course, your active participation in learning activities during class time and outside of class is also necessary. It has been found that students who actively participate in class activities learn more and achieve higher grades than those who don’t. Please remember that you get out of a course what you put in.

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT It’s important that all course participants exhibit professional behaviour in the classroom at all times to optimize the teaching and learning experience for everyone. This includes the instructor(s) and students. Non-negotiable expectations of behaviour for all course participants include: - Arrive on time, be prepared and remain for the duration of the class/lab. - Cell phone use in class is limited to learning activities led by the instructor. If a student or the instructor needs to use a cellphone during class (not related to class activities), this should be communicated ahead of time. - Use of laptops and tablets are welcome but are only to be used only for notetaking or class activities. - Communicate respectfully with others at all times. - Maintain a positive learning environment by listening to others, providing constructive suggestions, asking questions, and providing comments that are relevant to the topic. - Written communication (e.g. email) should always be professional, respectful, clear and grammatically correct.

TECHNOLOGY GUIDELINES Students will be required to bring appropriate technology (laptop, mobile device, etc.) to scheduled classes in order to complete the learning activities and exams. Cellphones are to remain off unless used for class activities.

The BScN Program at Red Deer College recognizes that the use of technology in nursing has the potential to enhance learning and communication. We also recognize our obligation to use this technology responsibly and in a way that complies with the standards outlined by Red Deer College and by professional organizations such as CARNA and UNA. We are also aware of our obligation to represent nursing in a professional manner outside of the Red Deer College context. Students are asked to review the technology guidelines that are included in their student handbook. In addition, all students should be aware of the Health Services Code of Conduct as it applies to nurses: http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/pub-code-of-conduct.pdf Computer Requirements

BLACKBOARD Blackboard will be used for email, document submission, and general communication at Red Deer College. Students are responsible for accessing Blackboard for their course. Course information, important notices, course content and correspondence relating to all students in the course will be posted on the course Blackboard site.

It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the use of Blackboard and to access their Blackboard course site on a regular basis throughout the term. Failure to do so may result in missing important course-related information, resources, instructor feedback, and announcements. If students are unable to access Blackboard to receive and send their assignments, correspondence, etc., it is the student’s responsibility to contact the RDC IT service desk to address this issue. STATEMENT ON AUDIO-VISUAL RECORDING Audio or video recording, digital or otherwise, of lectures, labs, seminars or any other teaching environment by students is allowed only with the prior written consent of the instructor or as a part of an approved accommodation plan. Student or instructor content, digital or otherwise, created and/or used within the context of the course is to be used solely for personal study, and is not to be used or distributed for any other purpose without prior written consent from the content author(s).

ACADEMIC POLICIES As a student at RDC, you have rights and responsibilities. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the information contained in this Course Outline and to clarify any areas of concern with the instructor. Travel to and from clinical sites is the responsibility of the student. You may consider working with your group members to arrange for car-pooling or sharing travel responsibility. It is also your responsibility to be familiar with RDC Policies. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the policies that might impact you while you are here: Final Exam Policy Student Academic Integrity & Misconduct Student Misconduct - Non-Academic Student Appeals

FINAL EXAM POLICY The RDC Final Exam Policy will be followed with respect to Final Examinations. Please review this document to ensure you understand the contents and implications of the policy.

*This course has a final exam scheduled by the Registrar. You must be available for the entire final exam period and deferrals will not be granted unless there is serious cause.* Following the Final Examinations Policy, exams written in the last 7 days of classes are weighted at less than 21% of the final mark and scheduled final exams have a weigh ting of at least 21% and no more than 50% of the final grade. If you have questions or concerns, please talk to your instructor as soon as possible.

ACADEMIC & NON-ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT Academic misconduct in all its forms is a serious offence. Academic misconduct is the giving, taking, or presenting of information or material that unethically or dishonestly aids oneself or another on any work which, under normal circumstances, is to be considered in the determination of a grade or the compilation of academic requirements or the enhancement of that student’s record or academic career. The two key areas of academic misconduct are plagiarism and cheating. Please read the definitions that follow.

Plagiarism: The use of close imitation of language, paintings, films, prototypes and ideas of another author and representation of them as one’s own original work. The most common forms of plagiarism are: copying or paraphrasing another author’s work without proper acknowledgement, using the ideas or lines of reasoning of another author’s work without proper acknowledgement, submitting work to which someone else has made substantial improvements to the content, and submitting the same work for multiple courses without approval. Plagiarism can be judged to have occurred if the instructor has both the submitted material and original source that was copied, or if the student is unable to explain the terminology or ideas of a submission.

Cheating: Any attempt to give or obtain unsanctioned assistance in a formal academic exercise (e.g. examination). Some examples of cheating are unauthorized cheat sheets in a test or exam, the unauthorized use of electronic devices during exams, and copying from another student.

If applicable: Note: a plagiarism detection tool is used in this course.

Plagiarism Tool: Having easy access to the internet and other technology can make it easy and enticing to use other someone else’s work as one’s own. Because of the high incidence of plagiarism in post-secondary education, assignments in the course may be submitted through SafeAssign on Blackboard. SafeAssign compares your work to a global repository of student work at RDC and to published work online. You are able to access the Originality Report in Blackboard. If you have concerns with your Originality Report, please come and see me to discuss what it means.

Please note: non-academic misconduct as described in the Student Misconduct Guidebook is also addressed at Red Deer College. Students should be familiar with this term and potential consequences and disciplinary actions that may result.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING This course may be eligible for prior learning assessment and recognition. Please refer to the RDC Academic Calendar for a list of excluded courses. Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition

BScN PROGRAM SPECIFIC

ASSESSMENTS

CROSS MARKING PROCESS Cross marking is one strategy used in this course for selected assessments to enhance consistency of marking expectations across the teaching team. Please see the student handbook that is posted on the course Blackboard site for marking and grading practices in the BScN program.

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE CON’TD If a student is sick or will be missing an in-class or “real time” assessment, notification of the instructor must occur at least one hour prior to the start of the assessment. If sufficient notification is not provided, a mark of zero will be given on the assessment.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS A 10% mark reduction per calendar day will be applied to all late assignments unless the instructor has given prior consent. Submit extension requests directly to the instructor at least 24 hours prior to the due date.

If an assessment is submitted 10 or more days after the established due date, a zero will be given on the assessment with no opportunity to re-do the assessment.

GRADING SYSTEM

Theory Courses: By the midterm feedback date as per academic calendar, following the academic schedule, students will be able to access their letter grade standing in the course with 30% of their grade completed. Students will be able to see this through the weighted total column in Blackboard.

Each assessment is marked and given a score that is a portion of the final grade. All assessment marks are added together and equate to a final raw score out of 100 points. This final score is then translated into a letter grade, which correlates with a grade point for the final course grade.

Final Grade Distribution

Letter Grade Percent A+ 95 – 100 A 91 – 94 A- 87 – 90 B+ 83 – 86 B 79 – 82 B- 75 – 78 C+ 71 – 74 C 67 – 70 C- 63 - 66 D+ 59 – 62 D 55 – 58 F 0 - 54 NOTE: any grade that is 0.5 or above will be rounded to the next whole number.

STRUGGLING STUDENTS

LEARNING CONTRACT Academic or course success of our Red Deer College nursing students is highly valued. A learning contract is a supportive measure to aid students at risk of failure due to unsafe, unprofessional, or unethical behaviours in the clinical environment. The learning contract outlines areas of concern along with strategies and conditions to assist the student in course progression and successful clinical course outcomes.

Learning contracts are (1) tailored based on individual student needs and (2) initiated by the clinical instructor as a result of discussions and observations with the student. Depending on the pattern or severity of concerning behaviours, students may either be placed on a learning contract with opportunity for course progression, or be assigned an immediate grade of F to the clinical evaluation tool (ENP). Please note that upon completion of a learning contract, the student is to maintain the expected level of clinical performance for the remainder of the course in order to successfully meet course requirements.

FITNESS TO PRACTICE From the CARNA website: Fitness to practise (FTP) is "all the qualities and capabilities of an individual relevant to their capacity to practise as a registered nurse, including but not limited to, freedom from any cognitive, physical, psychological or emotional condition and dependence on alcohol or drugs that impairs his or her ability to practise nursing" (The Canadian Nurses Association, 2017). When students experience health concerns that affect their skills, abilities and judgement they may not be able to provide safe, competent and ethical nursing care in the best interest of the public and patient safety.

HOW TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT All students must: 1. Declare their Fitness to Practice at the beginning of each year of their nursing program. Once they have signed the personal declaration form and submitted it to their nursing instructor they will be able to go into their clinical placement. 2. Be aware that, when presenting themselves to class, lab or clinical, they are declaring their Fitness to Practice to their instructor. 3. Be aware that, should their Fitness to Practice change during the term, students must immediately inform their instructor. See the student handbook for further FTP processes and guidelines.

ATTENDANCE PREPARATION FOR CLASS: Student success in a Concept-Based Curriculum is partly dependent on the willingness of students to prepare for learning. In any course (theory, lab, and/or clinical), students may be assigned pre-work that is connected directly to their ability to successfully learn in class. Students may be assessed prior to engagement in a learning activity for their level of preparation based on assigned pre-work. Students who do not demonstrate a sufficient level of preparation may be required to leave the learning environment. Students who are required to leave may be required to meet with their Instructor or Associate Dean.

This would align with the Student Rights Policy statement:

B3: “Respect the instructor’s right to determine the course content, instructional methodology, and grading and assessment methods.”

B5: “Undertake to complete course requirements as described in the Course Outline and observe deadlines and schedules contained therein.” OTHER EQUIPMENT

. Professional and appropriate dress (see BScN student handbook) . RDC Nametag . Smart phones with appropriate apps may be useful but are not required The purchase of a lab kit from the Bookstore is mandatory for all lab courses.

STUDENT HANDBOOK Please check course blackboard for reference to the BScN Student Handbook As per the RDC Academic Calendar: a. Students must complete theory and clinical components of nursing courses to receive credit. Students who have not received a pass in the clinical/laboratory portion of a nursing course are not given credit for the course and must repeat both the clinical and non-clinical portions of the course. The clinical component, explained in the course outline, must be completed for credit to be granted. b. The Associate Dean, or supervisor acting on behalf of the Associate Dean, may immediately deny assignment of a student to, withdraw a student from, or vary terms, conditions or site of a practicum/clinical placement if the Associate Dean or supervisor has reasonable grounds to believe that this is necessary in order to protect public safety. (See Student Misconduct - Non-Academic )

FOUNDATIONAL MINIMAL PASS (FMP) RATIONALE In a professional program such as nursing, it is important to secure solid results in foundational studies as this is highly correlated with success in future clinical courses. As a result, in September 2019, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program implemented a minimum pass grade (C+) in foundational courses. As per the Red Deer College (RDC) Calendar Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) In-Program Requirements “a. Students wishing to proceed in the Nursing program must achieve a grade of least a C+ in the foundational Nursing courses. A student who has not passed all foundational courses may not be able to progress.”

FIRST ATTEMPT IN A FOUNDATIONAL COURSE In the first attempt, students not meeting the foundational minimal pass of C+ in any of the required courses (per term) will not be permitted to progress in their BScN program and will be required to repeat the foundational course where the FMP requirement was not met. If this occurs, students will receive a notice from the registrar and any registrations in BScN NURS courses in upcoming terms will be removed.

SECOND ATTEMPT IN A FOUNDATIONAL COURSE As per the RDC Calendar Bachelor of Science in Nursing In-Program Requirements “a. If a student receives a grade less than C+ in the second attempt of a foundational course, the student will normally be required to withdraw from the program.” Any registrations in BScN NURS courses in upcoming terms will be removed.

WITHDRAWING FROM A FOUNDATIONAL COURSE Students have the option of withdrawing from a Foundational course by the final withdrawal deadline in the term. However, students should take into consideration several factors before choosing to do so and it is recommended that students make an appointment with the Student Advisor to discuss these factors before making the decision [email protected].

SOME FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE WITHDRAWING FROM A FOUNDATIONAL COURSE

• Students who withdraw from a foundational course are still considered to have not met the foundational minimal pass and will not be permitted to progress in their program. Students would be required to repeat the foundational course and it would be considered their second attempt at the course. • If students receive a passing grade of a D or higher in a foundational course, they will still receive credit for the course on their RDC transcript which could be used for other programs, but not the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. • The longer students remain in the course the more they are exposed to all the material covered, which will help build on existing knowledge to improve outcomes when taking the course for a second time. • For students who continue in the course and who receive a grade of C or less, please note that it can also have a negative effect on their GPA. Students are required to achieve an overall 2.0 GPA to be able to apply to the University of Alberta at the end of 3rd year and to remain in Good standing at RDC. Note that students with a term GPA of less than 1.7 will be required to withdraw from the BScN program. Please refer to the RDC calendar In-Program Requirements “d. Standing.” https://rdc.ab.ca/programs/health-sciences/bachelor-science-nursing-collaboration-university-alberta

Deadline: The withdrawal request must be submitted by the withdrawal deadline and the student should make an appointment with the Student Advisor to discuss the withdrawal beforehand [email protected].

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Privacy: All students and instructors have obligations under the Health Information Act (2001/2018) and Alberta. Electronic Health Record Regulation (2010) related to the “collection, use, disclosure, and security of health information that protects the privacy and confidentiality of individuals and their health information” (CARNA 2020, Privacy & Management of Health Information Standards, p.2). Students are accountable for ensuring that they follow all relevant privacy legislation and policies, and understand the privacy requirements that apply to their nursing practice. Secure access and handling of health information, along with mandatory reporting of potential or actual breaches are required of students and faculty.

COVID: Due to the ongoing COVID global pandemic and the potential of unanticipated public health requirements, course components may be shifted from the originally stated modality within the semester to accommodate completion of course objectives. All attempts will be made to ensure student progression is not affected, wherever possible.

Use of Online and/or Electronic Resources: Students are responsible for the legitimate access and academic integrity in using any online resources such as extra exam-like questions and learning activities, including appropriate distribution according to copyright guidelines. Any questions related to use of online or electronic study resources should be forwarded to the course instructor.
