FACULTY TELEPHONE NUMBER Office phone: 852-8515 Cell phone: 565-9368 FACULTY OFFICE HOURS: Tuesdays 9-9:50am or easily arranged anytime by appointment. Please email, text, or call before arrival. DAY AND TIME OF CLASS: Mondays 1:00-3:50pm (ET). DATES AND LOCATION OF CLASS: August 23- December 14, 2021, HK 2010. TIME AND DAY/DATES OF CLINICAL: Clinical Wednesdays at specified times, August 25November 17, 2021. CLINICAL EXPERIENCES: Clinical is expected to take place in the hospital, in a prescribed pediatric extended care facility, a pediatric day care (Head Start) facility, and via simulation. All clinical experiences are conducted with a group preceptor. Depending on clinical location, hours of clinical may be from 6am-4pm. See Blackboard for the schedule for each clinical group. It is expected that students be prepared on all clinical days. Students are expected to follow the School of Nursing’s dress code and other specific dress and behavior requirements as directed. Students whose appearance, dress, and behavior do not adhere to standards will be asked to leave clinical. Students must always wear their name tag with name and picture identification badges (Cardinal card and name tag) that identify them as students. Students meeting any clients for the first time are to introduce themselves and their student affiliation (University of Louisville). Students should not enter into verbal or written contracts as a representative of the University of Louisville, School of Nursing. Tardiness represents unprofessional behavior and is unacceptable. Tardiness to the clinical experience may constitute grounds for course failure. Attendance is mandatory. The clinical faculty must be notified in advance if the student will either be late or unable to attend the clinical experience. Failure to notify the clinical faculty in advance of the tardiness or absence may result in the consequences mentioned previously. Rationale: Clinical is an integral part of the curriculum and essential for practice. In the age of technology, the instance is rare when a student would be unable to contact the faculty in advance of an absence. CLINICAL EXPECTATIONS/EVALUATION CRITERIA: Clinical compliance is expected. The SON MEPN Student Handbook states "A student continuing a clinical experience while being out of compliance with any health/clinical requirement will be subject to dismissal from the program." It is the student’s responsibility to know and maintain clinical compliance throughout the semester. Occasionally, a student will be in compliance with all clinical requirements at the beginning of the semester, but a requirement will outdate during the semester. Students must be responsible for completing the update/renewal in a timely manner and providing the appropriate documentation to the Office of Student Services. If a student continues to attend clinical while out of compliance, the School of Nursing is not in compliance 3

with agency contracts. This is a serious offense and the student WILL BE DISMISSED from the School of Nursing. Students will be given a mid-rotation and final evaluation of their clinical performance.

GRADING SCALE: The following grading system is in effect for all courses in the MEPN Program. This grading system is in accordance with the Graduate School at the University of Louisville. 98-100 A+ 77-79 C+ 59 or Below F 93-97 A 73-76 C 90-92 A70-72 C87-89 B+ 67-69 D+ 83-86 B 63-66 D 80-82 B60-62 D*A grade below a B- is a failing grade in the MEPN program. Rounding is only used in courses for the calculation of the weighted exam average and the final course grade. At the end of the semester, weighted exam averages and final course grades will be rounded up if the final number is 0.50 or greater. Any score of 0.49 or lower will be rounded down. For example, at the end of the semester, a final grade of 74.50 will be rounded to a 75; whereas, a final grade of 74.49 will not be rounded up, so the final grade will be a 74.
