Nursing Student Skills Verification
Students who miss one or more quarters after completing NSG120 or between nursing clinical courses must demonstrate competence in previously learned skills’ including nursing assessment, vital signs and medication administration, before beginning the new quarter.
Rationale:
Students who have been out for one or more quarters from clinical courses may experience a decline in their abilities to perform clinical skills. Performance of a skill at a level less than proficient may negatively impact clinical performance.
