Withdrawal from the course will result in a W or WF, depending on student performance. Policies vary according to hospital and agency. Dress code and agency policies will be explained by your instructor and staff during your clinical orientations. If the School of Nursing is closed due to inclement weather, the faculty will either reschedule the practicum or provide approximately equivalent learning experiences. Guidelines for weekly assignments are in the H352 Handbook.
All assignments are to be neatly written with correct spelling and grammar.
When you paraphrase material, you must include author and date. When you use direct quotes, you must use quotation marks and cite author, date, and page number. Your instructor will give you feedback on these assignments. Also, each student is to hand in their Practicum Evaluation Tool with each assignment. All assignments offer the opportunity for meeting course competencies and will be evaluated on that basis.
