Students must be in full compliance with all of the requirements (with the exception of the flu vaccine) for the entire academic year . Additionally, students may be required by a clinical agency to meet additional compliance requirements . In these situations, students will be informed of this via email by the course instructor . Learning Strategies Preparing for a health care career involves a diff erent type of learning than traditional classroom education . The BSN and PN Programs involves practice in hands-on techniques, measurement and treatment procedures, problem-solving, the performance of interventions, and educating patients and/ or caregivers . Students are encouraged to continuously assess their own abilities, developmental needs, goals, and plan learning experiences to meet personal and professional goals . This is accomplished throughout the BSN or PN Program by self-assessment, peer evaluation,
and instructor feedback . The courses in the BSN and PN Programs are designed to allow the student to apply theoretical knowledge to simulated patients in the laboratory setting and finally on actual patients in the clinical setting under the supervision of licensed clinical instructors . Strategies for continued success in the learning process include the following: • Participate in all class, laboratory, and clinical sessions • Study/complete all assignments • Ask questions and ask for help when needed • Take advantage of all optional activities • Complete self-assessments of knowledge and skills • Acknowledge and value peer evaluation and instructor feedback • Practice skills identified as needin improvement • Change lab partners regularly • Be proactive in learning • Always strive to be your personal best
