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.

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.

This Assessment aims to develop your ability to communicate your knowledge of evidence-based nursing practice. As a registered nurse it will be important for you to base your practice on the most up to date research and best practice guidelines. You will also need to be able to communicate your rationale and promote when working to ensure safety for your patients.

Whilst on your clinical placement, choose 3 clinical skills which you participated in and evaluate how they were completed.

Instructions:

Introduce the 3 clinical skills and identify the importance of evaluating in terms of your practice as a current student registered nurse who will soon be a registered nurse.

For each clinical skill:
Review the current evidence/literature and discuss current best practice guidelines.
Outline and compare the best practice guidelines to how the skill was performed in practice.
Identify any gaps between the observed skill and your review of the evidence/literature.
Conclude with a summary of the recommendations for clinical practice.

Finish with a conclusion, summarising your discussions and key points for the reader to take away.
