Compulsory NCAS 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 MyUni one week post the individual students respective Placement
Block – Successful completion of these assessments are 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 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 this means that all stations must be passed to enable you to progress into the next year/semester of this program. The timetable for this exam will be posted closer to the date.

Students must successfully complete all Clinical Nursing Practice courses to satisfy the program requirements.

The Portfolio is an opportunity for students to integrate, compare and synthesise the evidence base and clinical practice of 4 examples of fundamental nursing care they observe and participate in during clinical placement. One of the skills that must be included is managing and/or teaching the care of a client/patient. Students should choose an additional 3 skills that correspond to other skills from their Skills Booklet. A summary of the evidence base for all four skills in the portfolio is required and a comparison and critique of the observed practice should be made. The marking guide below will be used to assess the submission. In addition to the portfolio the corresponding nursing competency assessments are to be completed and submitted after the second clinical placement:

- Managing the care of a client/patient
- Teaching a client/patient

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 clinical placement.

Assessment 2: Portfolio with exemplars of clinical practice
The Portfolio is an opportunity for students to integrate, compare and synthesise the evidence base for, and clinical practice of, 4 examples of fundamental nursing care they observe and participate in during clinical placement. Students should choose 4 examples that correspond to the skills from their Skills Booklet (Oral medications must be included as one of the skills with the Nursing competency assessment - managing oral medications submitted post placement 2). A summary of the evidence base for each of the skills is required and a comparison of this and a critique the observed practice should be made.

Assessment 3: Structured Clinical Assessment (SCA)
The Structured Clinical Assessment 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.

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.

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.

• More support in the skills sessions. This has been addressed and casual lecturers have been employed. Changes to clinical skills training days should improve access to staff.
