NUR 680 Week 3 Assignment: Clinical Worksheet

In this assignment, you will build on the choices you made for NUR 300, Foundations of Nursing, revising them if needed. You will be asked to make additional decisions as described below. Use this worksheet to present your information. Do not remove the questions. For the decisions you make below, explain your rationales, supported by your texts or other resources. This should not be based on your experience. Research best practices and provide the documentation.

Resources: You must include at least four references. Two can include your textbook and course materials. Both textbooks provide excellent information, and you are encouraged to use them. Two additional scholarly resources from peer reviewed nursing journals must be used.

 

General Decisions

 

What is an optimal clinical setting for this foundations course?

 

What is an ideal faculty/student ratio for these clinical rotations?

 

What is the optimal number of clinical hours per day for a beginning student?

 

How and when will you orient the students to the clinical facility?

 

The Clinical Day: For a typical clinical day, answer the following questions.

 

How and when will you make your clinical assignments?

 

What type of preparation will you require of the students?

 

What kind of learning activities will the students engage in (consider the content and skills in the NUR 300 syllabus)? How will this change as the semester progresses?

 

Will you hold a pre and post conference? If so, what will you do in each of these sessions? If you are not planning to hold pre or post conference, provide your rationale and supporting documentation.

 

The Instructor’s Role in Teaching and Evaluation

 

How do you envision your role as clinical instructor? What specific things will you do throughout the clinical day to guide and support the students?

 

How will you keep track of student performance and experiences throughout the semester?

 

How would you, as a clinical instructor for this course, utilize questioning, coaching, and feedback with the students? The Billings text covers this well. Address each one.

 

What kinds of formative and summative feedback/evaluation will you use? How and when will you do this?

 

What kind of written work (e.g., care plans, concept maps, case studies) will you require of the students? How might that change as the quarter progresses?

 

Assuming you could make this decision, would you give a numerical/letter grade or a pass/fail grade for clinical?
