The first opportunity to redo the medication administration quiz will be made available during residential school or during your final clinical learning session.

If you fail to achieve 100% at the second attempt, you will need to organise another time with the Unit Coordinator. This needs to be scheduled prior to your clinical placement. If you are not successful on your third attempt, you will not be able to proceed to clinical placement and will not achieve a Passing grade for the unit.

Part 2: Practical Assessment of clinical skills and written reflection on learning.

This will be a simulation based assessment focusing on your clinical skills and safe nursing practice within the scope of practice of a student undertaking NURS12158. The practical component of this assessment will occur during your residential school or clinical learning session. You will be allowed 20 minutes to complete this section of the assessment. If you are unsuccessful at your first attempt, you will have the ability to resit during the on campus session.  If you are unsuccessful after your second attempt, a third attempt will need to be organised with the Unit Coordinator.  You may have a maximum of three attempts at this assessment.  Please see below for further clarification.

You will be required to submit to the Moodle site a written reflection about the care you provided during this simulation assessment activity, using the STAR-L model.

The NURS12158, 2018 Clinical Competency Performance Assessment requires the completion of two clinical placement components. One placement component is complex care which requires 80 hours.  The other is a mental health placement component which also requires 80 hours. A total of 160 clinical hours are required for this course.  You will demonstrate your ability to perform the nursing role within your NURS12158 scope of practice as measured against the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice outlined in the 2018 Competency Performance Assessment (ANSAT) document.

In addition to your completed ANSAT tool for each clinical area, you are required to present 3 clinical learning goals for each clinical setting (six in total) and write 500 words for each clinical setting on how you worked towards achieving your goals. Goals should be written in the SMART format. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and in a specific Time frame. Goals must be shown to and signed off by your facilitator on your first clinical day. You have the entire 80 hours to complete the goals. Please see the Unit Moodle site for the NURS12158 Clinical Nursing Practice 3 detailed marking guide to be used by your marker.

If you receive an unsatisfactory result in either the Mental Health OR the Complex Care clinical placement you will not be eligible for supplementary assessment and will receive a fail grade for NURS12158 Clinical Nursing Practice 3.

You are required to submit your completed 2018 Clinical Placement Australian Nursing Standards Assessment tool (ANSAT) documentation, record of attendance, your written goals and strategies to achieve them after each clinical placement.  These documents need to be uploaded to the course Moodle site within five working days of completing each clinical placement.

The 2018 Australian Nursing Standards Assessment tool (ANSAT) has been designed to enable you to demonstrate the development of professional attributes required by the registered nurse. The criteria in the ANSAT is based on the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice. These criteria will be used to evaluate your ability to perform your nursing role within your scope of practice and to determine your ability to meet the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice as per your NURS12158 level. For example, as you are a NURS12158 student it is expected that you will perform within the scope of practice of a NURS12158 nursing student and demonstrate critical thinking, problem solving and clinical skills applicable for a NURS12158 nursing student.

Assessment criteria and performance standards for the 2018 Australian Nursing Standards Assessment tool includes:

· completion of the required hours of clinical placement as stipulated by the relevant unit coordinator;

· a self-assessment of your own clinical performance against the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice at both formative and summative stages of the clinical placement; and

· assessment and recording of your performance by the identified preceptor/clinical facilitator at both formative and summative stages of the clinical placement.

Further information on the assessment criteria is outlined in the '2018 Clinical Placement ANSAT tool' available of the Clinical Moodle site.The link to this site is found here: https://moodle.cqu.edu.au/course/view.php?id=2600

If you are identified as not achieving the required standards or competency for NURS12158 you may be required to complete further learning as outlined in an individual support plan. The unit coordinator in consultation with the student and clinical facilitator/preceptor will prepare the individual support plan. If you are still not able to achieve the required standards or competency level with the assistance and direction of the support plan a fail grade will be awarded.

Please see the CQUniversity Suitability for Clinical Placement policy on the Clinical Placement Moodle site for further information.

Students who fail to meet the CQUniversity Student Code of Conduct maybe withdrawn from the clinical setting and a fail grade awarded.
