ATI TRANSCRIPT
Each student will bring a copy of his or her completed ATI transcript (*) at the designated time on the
course calendar.
15
Transcripts that demonstrate a grade of 70 % or above on 20 of the assigned practice tests will accrue an
additional 4 points toward the final exam score.
15-19 Practice tests with score of 70 % or higher = 3 points
5-15 Practice tests with score of 70 % or higher = 2 points
< 5 Practice tests with score of 70 % or higher = 1 points
0 Practice tests = 0 points
All proctored ATI (standardized testing) assigned for the course must be completed in order to pass the
course. Failure to take a proctored ATI test will result in a course failure of “ D”. Cell phones are
prohibited during an ATI proctored exam. Students are expected to successfully achieve a level 2 or
greater on ATI proctored exams.
BREAKDOWN OF EXAMS AND WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS All assignments in the course as listed below must be completed in order to pass the course. This includes exams,
quizzes, written assignments, clinical assignments and all S/U assignments. All S/U assignments must receive a
grade of “ S”.
Exam 1 = 15%
Exam 2= 15%
Exam 3= 15%
Exam 4 = 15%
Post test =5 % * (Proctored Adult Medical Surgical ATI test = 3 %. Proctored RN Pharmacology = 2 %)
Comprehensive final exam = 20 %
Online Oncology Quiz = 5 %. Points obtained from this quiz may be applied toward ONE exam score.
After the final exam, the points obtained from the above exams and/or quizzes must average a 77 % ( 65.45 points)
or better. The points from the process paper and formal weekly care plans will apply toward the course grade only
after the exam average is 77 % or better.
Written Assignments
Nursing Process Paper = 9 % ( See description below). A minimum grade of 77 % is required on the nursing
process paper. Weekly Med- Surg Care Plans 3 @ 2% each (See description below) Three (3) will be formally evaluated = 6 %
Off – Unit Clinical Objectives = S/U
Discussion Question = S/U
Clinical journal = S/U
Drug Cards = S/U
Signed course contract = S/U
Self -evaluation on CET =S/U
The points from the nursing process paper and medical-surgical care plans will apply toward the course
grade only after the exam average is 77 % or better. All assignments included in this course must be
completed in order to pass the course. Failure to complete all of the assignments for the course will result
in a course grade of “D.”
EXAMPLE OF HOW THE COURSE GRADE IS CALCULATED Sample student scores : Calculation:
Exam 1 = 77 %
77% X .15 = 11.55 points
Exam 2 = 75 % 75 % X .15 = 11.25 points
Exam 3 = 79 % 79% X .15 = 11.85 points
16
Exam 4 = 80 % 80 % X .15 = 12 points
Post test =
ATI Med Surg = 80 %
RN Pharmacology =70 %
80 X .03% = 2.4 points
70 X .02% = 1.4 points
Final = 80 % 80 % X .20 = 16 points
Add all the points of the above sample scores. If the total sum is equal to or greater than 65.45 points, then add:
Process paper = 80 % X .09= 7.2 points.
Weekly Care Plans (3) = Each one = 80% X .02% = 4.8 points.
Add all of the points: 66.45 + 7.2 points +4.8 points = 78.45 points = Course grade of “ C”
Note: Final course grades are not rounded up.
THREADED DISCUSSION ACTIVITY
A threaded discussion question will be posted on D2L. A total of 4 posts in response to the question are
required. One post should directly address the question and be a minimum of 4 paragraphs (300 words).
At least one nursing reference for this response should be included and referenced in APA style. The
other 3 responses should be in response to classmates and each should be a minimum of 2 paragraphs
(150 words). All responses should be factually correct and have proper spelling and grammar
Copying and pasting from any source is not acceptable.
MATH TEST
A math test may be given at mid semester. Students are expected to earn 100 % on this test with a
maximum of two attempts. If unsuccessful at mid-semester, the student may retake the math test at the
time of the final exam.
CLINICAL ASSIGNMENTS
Specific clinical assignments will be made prior to the clinical experience whenever possible.
The student is responsible for doing an initial patient assessment and formulating a plan of care for each
assigned patient. In addition, the student is responsible for researching the patient’s pathophysiology,
medications, nutritional needs, learning needs, and treatments. In the event that the assignment cannot be
made prior to clinical, the student will prepare the assignment after the clinical experience.
WEEKLY NURSING CARE PLANS
Nursing Care Plans provide the student with the opportunity to apply the nursing process, in written form,
to specific patient situations. It is expected that the student will complete a working care plan for every
assigned patient experience. Weekly care plans assist the student in understanding the nursing process.
These care plans incorporate pathophysiology, diagnostic tests and lab data, assessment, nursing
diagnosis, goals, interventions, rationales, and a teaching plan. Part of the clinical experience will be
spent learning how to write a care plan with medical-surgical patients—identifying the various data
sources, and devising specific nursing interventions. Evaluation of the care given is also an essential
portion of the nursing care plan. The weekly care plans will be utilized in evaluating overall clinical
performance. Completed care plans are due weekly as directed by the course and/or clinical instructor.
Although care plans are due weekly as assigned, only a total of three will be submitted for formal
evaluation.
OFF UNIT OBJECTIVES
Off – unit objectives are to be completed whenever the student is rotated to a specialty clinical site or
unit. Completed objectives are to be submitted to the clinical or lead instructor as directed by the due
date.

NURSING PROCESS PAPER All papers, writing assignments, and references are to written using current APA style. APA style papers
always should have a title page, running headers, and a reference page.The most recent Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association (in library and online @ www.apa.org) must be used
as the source for organizing this paper. All students should have an APA reference book. All papers
must be typed. All references should be from nursing sources and be less than 5 years old. All references
must be appropriately documented and cited. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation are considered
to be essential components of all clinical papers. Limit papers to 10 typed pages. The professional
process paper is a clinical requirement and is used, in part, to evaluate clinical performance. A weekly
care plan that has been formally evaluated cannot be utilized a second time to formulate the nursing
process paper. All papers must be submitted by the due date.
The student is required to use the grading rubric as a guide in developing and meeting the objectives
for the nursing process paper. The rubric used to evaluate the process paper and care plans is posted on
