The CET is graded as: Excellent (4 pts), Above Average (3 pts), Average (meets competencies 2 pts), Below Average (1 pt . ), Fails to meet Standard (0 pts . ) system for meeting criteria . These evaluations are completed by the clinical faculty and reviewed with the student mid-term and at the end of the session for BSN and PN clinical courses . Faculty provide feedback by documenting the student level of achievement for each course student learning outcome, including anecdotal comments . By the end of the course, students must be competent in all of the required criteria . The final clinical grade, a component of the course grade, is expressed as either “pass” (P) or “fail” (F) .

Malpractice Insurance Hodges University provides malpractice insurance for all nursing students . Students who hold professional licensure may wish to obtain additional malpractice insurance from a private organization (e . g . American Nurses’ Association ANA) . Pregnancy If a student chooses to declare a pregnancy, it must be done in writing . The declaration may be performed at any time during the pregnancy . If the student decides to declare a pregnancy, then they are required to meet with the Director of Nursing . Voluntarily declaring a pregnancy is the most prudent course of action . It provides maximum protection for the developing embryo/fetus . Any information provided to the Director of Nursing regarding pregnancy will be kept confidentia . Consideration must be given to the student’s welfare during pregnancy as well as the policies of clinical sites to which they are assigned . Students returning to their clinical assignments following a leave of absence due to pregnancy or any other health-related concern must provide documentation from their physicians stating they are able to resume their clinical duties “without restriction in class, labs, and clinical settings . ”
