SIGN OFF MENTOR INFORMATION FOR THE FINAL MANAGEMENT PLACEMENT

Final Management Placement Only (Sign-off mentors only) The sign off mentor is required to spend the equivalent of one hour per week over the period of the placement in protected non clinical time, considering the progress of their management student. This could be in conjunction with the student or as independent assessment time for the sign off mentor. An area for recording this activity and the resultant action plan has been made available on the following pages. All of the boxes don’t need to be completed because you may wish to accumulate this protected time for example once per month for 4 hours rather than once per week for 1 hour. Once you are satisfied with your overall assessment of the NMC competencies you are required by the NMC (2008) Standards to support learning and assessment in practice to make the final sign off in practice – stating that your student has been successful or unsuccessful with regard to all practice requirements set by the NMC. This confirmation will then be utilised by the Examination Board for the University of Lincoln BSc (Hons) Nursing Programme to determine whether, in conjunction with academic assignment and attendance, good character and health, the NMC should receive the recommendation that the student be accepted onto the live register for Adult Nursing (Part 1). To confirm your assessment of the student and sign off you are required to complete the appropriate page (successful or not successful) in this document on page 225 (successful) or 226 (unsuccessful).
