Instructional Materials; same as for the RNSG 1105
CLINICAL ATTENDANCE
Please see the attached course addendum for the online virtual clinical
Strict attendance is required for all clinical experiences. The clinical hours established
in the syllabus must be completed in totality per Texas Board of Nursing requirements.
Also, orientation to the clinical facility is mandatory. This orientation is established by
the facility and failure to attend when scheduled will constitute you not being able to
attend clinical, which will constitute grounds for clinical withdrawal and clinical
failure.
Clinical hours requirements are listed as follows:
RNSG 1360, Foundations 144 hours (72 hours of simulation and 72 hours of clinical)
RNSG 2360 Common Concepts Medical-Surgical nursing 144 hours
RNSG 1160 OB nursing 96 hours
RNSG 2261 Pediatric nursing 96 hours
RNSG 2160 Mental health nursing 96 hours
RNSG 2361 Complex Concepts Medical surgical nursing 144 hours
RNSG 2701 Transition Nursing 48 hours
Failure to complete the required hours in any clinical course will result in a failure for
that clinical.
However, in the event a clinical is missed, the following grading policy will be
followed:
1st absence, with appropriate documentation (illness, personal or family emergency,
death), no grade changes
2nd absence with or without appropriate documentation will constitute a 10% grade
reduction off the final grade. Please note: Regardless of an excused or unexcused
absence, clinical hours must be made up by end of the semester or the student will
receive a 0 for the clinical course. Students are responsible for notifying faculty of
absences from the required clinical prior to the scheduled clinical time. Please refer to
the syllabus for faculty contact info. Please note that simulation is equivalent to a
clinical day and the same rules for attendance and tardiness apply.
Students who are pregnant, or become pregnant during their clinical rotation, must see
the ability counselor. While Title IX accommodations are available, all clinical hours
must still be completed.
A student who does not arrive at the assigned clinical facility or activity at the time
designated by the instructor will be considered tardy. After two clinical "tardies", the
student will receive a contact action for unprofessional conduct. A student who is thirty
(30) or more minutes late will be given a 0 for the clinical day and may be sent home.
A student who arrives in an inappropriate clinical uniform will be given a 0 for the
day and will be sent home. An approved tardy must be accompanied by valid
documentation. (Picture, etc.) A student, who has more than the noted 12.5%
absences may be administratively dropped from the course. Student should be
present for the on line meeting at the designated time.
Any absence related to illness requires documentation from a licensed physician or
certified health care professional. The note must state the student is released to return to
clinical.
Clinical Remediation
Any student requiring remediation for a clinical skill or activity shall be referred to open
lab to practice the skill and must show competence in the nursing lab within 2weeks of the
referral or as indicated by the instructor.
Clinical Math Testing
Math Policy and Procedure:
Policy: Safe administration of medications is a cornerstone of safe patient care. In an effort to
assure students are prepared to calculate medication dosages, there will be a math test prior to
each clinical rotation
Procedure: Each student will be given a math packet to review prior to the new semester.
Foundation students will be given the packet during orientation. On the first day of theory for the
designated term (Foundations, Transition, Medical/Surgical Nursing, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics),
the instructor for the theory class will present an overview of the math for the upcoming clinical.
The math test will be given second, third and fourth weeks of the semester. Students will be
required to pass the exam with 90% or better. The student who is not able to successfully pass
the math test with 90% or better on the first attempt will have their weekly clinical formative
grade reduced by 30 points, except the Foundation students. Students who do not pass the
exam will be given a second test the following week after remediation with a faculty.
Any student unable to pass the exam by the third attempt, will not be allowed to continue in the
clinical and therefore will be counted as failing the clinical course. The student will also have to
drop the theory co-requisite course.
The assigned faculty will contact the students on this regard to complete the math dosage test.

Academic Dishonesty:
An academically dishonest student is, by definition, not showing that the coursework has been
learned, and that student is claiming an advantage not available to other students. The instructor is
responsible for measuring each student's achievements and for ensuring that all students compete
on a level playing field. Thus, in our system, the instructor has a teaching, grading, and
enforcement roles. You are expected to be familiar with Houston Community College’s Policy on
Academic Honesty, found in the catalog. What that means is: If you are charged with an offense,
pleading ignorance of the rules will not help you. Students are responsible for conducting
themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling course requirements. Penalties and/or
disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by College System officials against a student accused of
scholastic dishonesty. “Scholastic dishonesty” includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test,
plagiarism, and collusion.
Cheating includes:
• Copying from other students’ test papers or assignments.
• Using materials not authorized by the person giving the test.
• Collaborating with another student during a test without authorization.
• Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part
the contents of a test that has not been administered.
• Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered.
Plagiarism means the appropriation of another’s work and the unacknowledged
incorporation of that work in one’s written work offered for credit.
Collusion means unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written
work offered for credit. Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a
grade of “0” or “F” in the assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for
probation or dismissal from the College System (See Student Handbook).
Professional Behavior
As your instructor and as a student in this class, it is our shared responsibility to develop and
maintain a positive learning environment for everyone. Your instructor takes this
responsibility very seriously and will inform members of the class if their behavior makes it
difficult for him/her to carry out this task. As a fellow learner, you are asked to respect the
learning needs of your classmates and assist your instructor in achieving this critical goal.
Electronic Media Policy
Protected Health Information (PHI):
Students are allowed to access electronic medical records only for gathering information. The
information obtained must be handwritten; it cannot be photographed or electronically
transmitted. Auxiliary drives (USB drives, portable drives, discs, data storage cards, etc.) are not
to be inserted into any facilities EMR system.
Do not access any medical records that you are not using for patient care. This includes your
medical records, your child’s, a family member’s, someone famous, or someone you saw on the
news. This is a breach in patient information and privacy and may result in consequences up to
failing your clinical rotation, fines, and dismissal from the program. Hospitals consider PHI
violations as critical errors in judgment resulting in grounds for immediate dismissal.
Password Security:
Do not share any facility password or your username with anyone. Please be advised that facility
staff members are not allowed to share their password or username with any student or faculty
member.
HCC Course Withdrawal Policy:
If you feel that you cannot complete this course, you will need to withdraw from the course prior
to the final date of withdrawal. Before, you withdraw from your course; please take the time to
meet with the instructor to discuss why you feel it is necessary to do so. The instructor may be
able to provide you with suggestions that would enable you to complete the course. Your success
is very important. Beginning in fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law limiting first time
entering freshmen to no more than SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational
career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree.
If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you MUST contact an HCC counselor or your
professor prior to withdrawing (dropping) the class for approval and this must be done before
the withdrawal deadline to receive a “W” on your transcript. **Final withdrawal deadlines vary
each semester and/or depending on class length, please visit the online registration calendars,
HCC schedule of classes and catalog, any HCC Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to
determine class withdrawal deadlines. Remember to allow a 24-hour response time when
communicating via email and/or telephone with a professor and/or counselor. Do not submit a
request to discuss withdrawal options less than a day before the deadline. If you do not
withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you are making in the class as your
final grade.
Repeat Course Fee
The State of Texas encourages students to complete college without having to repeat failed
classes. To increase student success, students who repeat the same course more than twice, are
required to pay extra tuition. The purpose of this extra tuition fee is to encourage students to
pass their courses and to graduate. Effective fall 2006, HCC will charge a higher tuition rate to
students registering the third or subsequent time for a course. If you are considering course
withdrawal because you are not earning passing grades, confer with your instructor/counselor as
early as possible about your study habits, reading and writing homework, test-taking skills,
attendance, course participation, and opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be
available.
Continuing Education
All students are responsible for reading and understanding the HCC Online Student Handbook,
which contains policies, information about conduct, and other important information. For the
HCC Online Student Handbook click on the link below or go to the HCC Online page on the
HCC website.
The HCC Online Student Handbook contains policies and procedures unique to the online
student. Students should have reviewed the handbook as part of the mandatory orientation. It is
the student's responsibility to be familiar with the handbook's contents. The handbook contains
valuable information, answers, and resources, such as HCC Online contacts, policies and
procedures (how to drop, attendance requirements, etc.), student services (ADA, financial aid,
degree planning, etc.), course information, testing procedures, technical support, and academic
calendars. Refer to the HCC Online Student Handbook by visiting this link:

Sex/Gender Discrimination
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires that institutions have policies and
procedures that protect students' rights about sex/gender discrimination. Information regarding
these rights is on the HCC website under Students-Anti-discrimination. Students who are
pregnant and require accommodations should contact any of the ADA Counselors for assistance.
It is important that every student understands and conforms to respectful behavior while at HCC.
Sexual misconduct is not condoned and will be addressed promptly. Know your rights and how
to avoid these difficult situations.

the button at the top right that says Login and enter your student number.
Houston Community College is committed to cultivating an environment free from inappropriate
conduct of a sexual or gender-based nature including sex discrimination, sexual assault,
sexual harassment, and sexual violence. Sex discrimination includes all forms of sexual and
gender-based misconduct and violates an individual’s fundamental rights and personal dignity.
Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex-including pregnancy and parental status in
educational programs and activities. If you require accommodation due to pregnancy, please
contact an Abilities Services Counselor. The Director of EEO/Compliance is designated as the
Title IX Coordinator and Section 504 Coordinator. All inquiries concerning HCC policies,

House Bill 1508
Texas HB 1508 requires the following information to be given to students. If you are applying
for admission to a program that prepares an individual for an initial occupational license or
certification and/or if you later decide to change to a program that prepares you for an initial
occupational license or certification, per state law, please be advised of the following:
1. An individual who has been charged or convicted of an offense or who is on probation
may not be eligible for issuance of an occupational license or certification upon
completion of the educational program.
2. It is the responsibility of the individual to immediately report to the program any change
in status that would affect that individual’s eligibility to apply for a license or
certification.
3. Local, state, or national licensing and certification authorities may issue additional
guidelines related to criminal history. Applicants should contact their respective
licensing or certification authority for more details.
Most health care programs require all students, admitted to the program, to submit to a national
background check which may include fingerprinting. Applicants are encouraged to review all
applicable eligibility requirements related to the respective occupational license or certification.
Questions related to eligibility requirements should be directed to the individual program and
applicable licensing or certification authority.
SPECIAL NEEDS – COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT
(ADA)
HCC strives to make all learning experiences as accessible as possible. If you anticipate or
experience academic barriers based on your disability (including mental health, chronic or
temporary medical conditions), please meet with a campus Disability Counselor as soon as
