Compulsory NCAS Summative Assessment Placement Documents
For each clinical placement, a written Summative Assessment must be obtained. This Summative Assessment must be completed and signed by the supervising Registered Nurse and the facilitating Clinical Lecturer. Employer Competencies (EC) must also be assessed during the placement blocks. For each placement please check the NCAS Employer Competency Schedule to
see which are required as well as check with your course coordinator and Clinical lecturer on placement.
The completed set of documents must then be submitted to Sonia one week post the individual students' respective Placement
Block – Successful completion of these assessments is required.

This is a HURDLE assessment for this course. 

Oral Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
A structured clinical examination will be held during exam week. This examination will take place in the Skills Facility and
each student will be assessed on a number of skills and theory relevant to the lectures held during the semester. Each student will be required to attend for an examination in which they will demonstrate a range of nursing interventions especially in relation to skills taken from the course objectives. Along with skills demonstrations, students will need to be prepared to provide a rationale for the practical tasks within the exam.  The exam uses a structured approach to the assessment of clinical skills using the online B-line system.

The OSCE is a HURDLE REQUIREMENT: this means that students must pass to be able to progress into CNP II.

Assessment 1: Clinical practice/performance/assessment

Weekly assessment of clinical skills as per Fundamentals of Nursing: Clinical skills workbook. The Clinical Skills Assessment is conducted in the weeks immediately prior to clinical placement. This assessment is formative in nature and provides an opportunity for students to perform essential nursing tasks while under a degree of supportive scrutiny. Successful completion of this assessment is required before students can undertake a clinical placement.

Assessment 2: Patient interview skills

Using the interview checklist and guide you will undertake an interview of a patient during your clinical placement. You may interview the patient on a topic of your choice, preferably one related to their clinical presentation. You must ask for and obtain the permission of the patient and the Registered Nurse caring for the patient. 

Assessment 3: FOC Care Plan

Part 1: Focusing just on the physical fundamentals of care you are to develop a plan of care identifying the nursing interventions you will provide to meet Joyce’s care needs in relation to her current problem.
The problems and FOC have been provided for you on the 4 care plan templates below. You are to complete the 4 templates using the headings provided.
All information in each column must be referenced. You may use one reference for each column if the material has come from one source.
• The underlying cause or reason (i.e.; what the problem is related to, why does it exist?)
• The goal of care (What are you hoping to achieve.)
• Specific bedside nursing interventions you will do to achieve your goal.
• The rationale for your nursing interventions and actions (Why are you initiating this specific nursing intervention? What evidence supports this intervention?)
• Indicators that your plan is working (What improvements can you see or measure in the patient as a result of the interventions?)
Approx. 1000 words

Part 2: Briefly explain why Joyce has been prescribed:
• Oral prednisone
• Ipratropium bromide delivered with a nebuliser
• Oral amoxicillin

You are to briefly, explain how these medications work and identify and explain the specific nursing responsibilities associated with administering each medication and monitoring Joyce for expected side effects. Your best source of information for this section is from a Nursing Medication text.
(Approx. 500 words)

Part 3: Select one (1) of the topics below and, in grammatically correct sentences and topic paragraphs, Identify the specific information you will need to explain to Joyce about your chosen topic. Please use language and terminology that Joyce will understand.

• In addition to this, you need to identify why your chosen topic is an important aspect of Joyce’s care.
• Also how you will ensure that Joyce knows and understands why it is important and, if appropriate to the topic, what she needs to do
(Approx. 500 words)

• How to effectively use a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) and spacer
• Why she needs to stop smoking
• Promoting adequate nutritional intake to meet her metabolic needs
• Energy conservation strategies to prevent exacerbations of her asthma and shortness of breath.


Assessment 4: Oral Structured Clinical Examination  (OSCE)

The OSCE is a formal conclusion to the semester to give students an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have acquired. The oral and practical exam is of 30 minutes duration and uses a structured approach to the assessment of clinical skills. Students will be observed by two staff as they move through a scenario and respond to questions designed to complement hands-on skills with critical thinking.
This assessment is a hurdle requirement- meaning that a pass for this assessment is necessary to successfully complete and pass the course. Failure to pass this assessment may reduce your ability to proceed to the next year/semester courses

Unless otherwise indicated all submission of assignments is to be through the assignments portal of MyUni. TurnItin will be used to check student assignments. Students MUST keep an electronic copy of all assignments submitted. 

Extensions are generally awarded for no more than 10 working days unless there are exceptional circumstances.

To apply for an Assessment Extension, a student must submit an application for extension form prior to the assessment deadline. You will find this on the School of Nursing Website or use the link provided here.

The following marking guides will be used for assignments:

Structure and Presentation 25%

Structure (15%) • Each section of the portfolio is structured in a logical sequence so that the content flows (headings may be used to develop the structure of the portfolio). • Where appropriate introduces/outlines/situates the activity/discussion. • Where appropriate each section of the portfolio ends with a cogent, defendable conclusion that summarises the discussion within the body of the paper. Writing Style (10%) • The portfolio is written with clear sentence structure and the spelling and grammar are correct.

Content 60%

• Demonstrates an understanding of the activities/discussions chosen by identifying the main components/issues/focus of the topic area. • Provides evidence of support from contemporary literature to support argument/points of view. • Where appropriate for the activity demonstrates critical thought. • Has completed all activities/discussion points.

Referencing 15%

• The referencing style used throughout the summary paper is congruent with the Discipline’s Student Handbook and Style Guide. • The reference list is accurate (i.e. no missing page numbers, volumes, correct title etc), complete (i.e. no references in the body of the paper are missing from the reference list) and consistent with the Discipline’s Student Handbook and Style Guide. • The references cited are contemporary (i.e. less than 10 years old unless seminal papers). • Primary references are used predominantly (i.e. the original reference has been cited rather than a secondary source). • There is evidence in the summary paper that the student has searched widely for information related to the topic/issue. • The student has acknowledged all sources of information. • Direct quotations are only used to make crucial points or to support the discussion/argument.

Comment: I think it would have been more helpful to have the skills classes split into two classes. There were too many students, making them chaotic at times and reducing our ability to gain as much experience.

This has been addressed and two classes of 3 hours each will be run in 2021.

Comment: Scheduling the practicals so they aren't on Mondays. We lost some days to public holidays, which meant that some things were VERY rushed, particularly manual handling, bed making, shaving. Not all or enough equipment available for some things eg manual handling meant that we didn't get a chance to practice some skills. Having said that the live demonstrations were fantastic in manual handling.

This, unfortunately, cannot be changed as timetabling is done centrally and accommodates the whole of nursing and medicine. However, the allocated time could be better utilized and we acknowledge that the resources need to be improved. Lectures are now accessed online which allows students to attend one 3 hour practical session held each Monday. Manual handling and BLS will now be conducted off-campus which will allow students to have the time they need to practice and pass the assessment before attending a clinical placement.

Comment: It could do with adjusting the assessments. 30% for a simple survey with no referencing required? The RSD case study... this would be more manageable if it was broken up into 2–4 smaller case studies, with different patients, due across the semester. Much more manageable, and would encourage us to look more broadly into different issues.

This has been changed for 2021.
